Kiss’s Last Album of The 80’s Turns 25

Kiss's "Hot In The Shade" turns 25 today and at the time of release I wasn't that familiar with the album.  It has since become a big part of my life or at least one song on it.  "Forever" was part of my wedding song. When I say part of my wedding song we put "Forever" together with the Etta James classic "At Last" a strange mix but it worked.  I'm glad because at the time of my wedding I couldn't think of a better song than that to play.

I have also come to appreciate the song "Hide Your Heart".  It's one of those Kiss albums that falls into the forgotten category but I haven't forgotten it. This album is also the final Kiss Album to feature Eric Carr before he passed away.  So if you have a copy break it out this weekend or you can relive one of the tracks below.
