"God Gave Rock N Roll To You II" by Kiss

KISS was founded by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss in the early 70s and took the world by storm with their music and make-up. Their music often played second fiddle to their outrageous outfits and theatrics, but the band has enjoyed a string of hits through multiple decades.

KISS sings of sex, drugs, and rock n roll. Their breakthrough hit arrived in 1975 when their now classic tune, "Rock And Roll Every Nite," went to #12. Their biggest hit came the next year, when the atypical balled "Beth" sung by Peter Criss reached #7. They scored another unexpected hit with "I Was Made For Lovin' You" in 1979. Capitalizing on the disco trend, this one went all the way to #11.

The band continued to crank out albums through the 80s, but lost their chart mojo until 1990 when Michael Bolton helped them with the song "Forever." Propelled by the power-ballad craze at the time, "Forever" put KISS back in the limelight with another top ten hit, this one reaching #8. Their follow-up single, "Rise To It," went back to cock rock and stalled at #81, marking their last chart appearance.

Kind of a sequel to "Rock And Roll All Night," "God Gave Rock N Roll To You II" is a memorable anthem that salutes one of the greatest genres of music.
