I can't believe you didn't put 'Crazy Crazy Nights' in the poll, RockandRollfan. ;)
One of the best rock anthems of the decade (parallelled with 'Final Countdown' by Europe).

Shandi was from the 70s Fuss! :)
Many of Kiss' best songs came out during the 1980s. It's a shame they don't recognise that these days.

:) I stopped listening to Kiss after 'Destroyer' and didn't start again until 'Creatures of the Night'.

"Lick it Up" is actually the only one I know. I have it on an old PolyTel compilation called "Rock Sizzzlers" which I have had for years :)

While not many would likely agree, their 80's period (after Creatures of the Night, and before 1992's heavy Revenge) is classic.
You had songs like "Lick it Up" "Heaven's on Fire" which was basically heavy hair metal. Then, in the late 80's, the Crazy Nights album (my personal favorite) is total pop/metal, even arena rock.
Best individual song is "Forever" - pretty sappy for a band like this, but I don't care. It's still a great song.

I'm a pretty big KISS fan (pre-1980s), but sadly most of their 80s stuff was mediocre at best, even though technically they had better musicians in the band at that time. The only 80s album i really didn't mind was Creatures Of The Night which to me seemed like a return to form for KISS, which unfortunatly was "very" short lived. I lost interest in KISS after Love Gun, then Creatures Of The Night caught my attention, but i again lost interest in the band again after Creatures Of The Night & haven't really liked anything since.
I'd have to say the best song they did in the 1980s was easily Creatures Of The Night, closely followed by Lick It Up. Creatures Of The Night was pretty Ozzy/Randy Rhoads-esque & the lyrics were just fantastic.
"Breathing in the madness spitting out the lies"
"Searching in the darkness, running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say
Gathering up our courage, ready for the fight
Howling in the shadows, till we start to bite"
