Black Diamond is pretty fucking cool relative to the rest of the songs. St Elmo's and We Built This City have absurdly good hooks though.
Yes. As much as we might make fun of Kiss, Black Diamond does rock pretty damned hard.

I've no idea what Peaceful Easy Listening is and looking at Hestons death wish I've no intention of finding out.
Perhaps Heston typing Peaceful Easy Listening instead of Peaceful Easy Feeling after having a few pints? ;)
Is that what it's called? I've heard it spoken of on here as being remarkably shit but I've never heard it.

Just watched this version:

If you don't like insane guitar solos, screaming vocals, and pyro, then cast your vote for Bittersweet Symphony.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Nobody argues that KISS' "Black Diamond" is lame; the argument is that (a) KISS on the whole are extremely lame and (b) The Replacements' cover is superior.

"Bittersweet Symphony," however, is the sound of a long-dormant curse activated and sapping people of their good sense.

It's not a terrible song. Kind of a nice, mellow vibe.

KISS and BLACK DIAMOND are always on upper case to reflect their relative hugeness to the pretenders.

Yeah but The Pretenders version of Black Diamond is far superior to KISS.
