The 'Playlist Plus' is supposedly a new series that tries to bring 3 discs worth of material covering certain artists. The problem is not the music, but at this point they are all rather superflous. If you're familiar with "The Millenium Collection" series it is EXACTLY the same as this, just collected all in one place with a new cover, as opposed to 3 separate volumes. I mean, with approximately 10 hits collections already on the market, did Kiss really need another that covers no new ground? Additionally, the 3 discs are nowhere near full as they could have easily sliced this into 2 discs OR added more songs.

This collection's 3 CDs devote 12 songs to each decade from the 70's-90's, each disc representing one decade. If you were a fan of Kiss can you imagine trying to chop down what they accomplished in the 70's to 12 songs? Well, that's what disc 1 tries to do here.

That is reason enough not to purchase this set. The 2 disc collection "Kiss Gold" gives you 4 more songs for a total of 40 on two solid, packed to the gills CDs of prime classic music from the 'original band' for about 10-15 bucks less. Be aware, however, that the "Gold" collection stops in the early 80's. Either way, I wouldn't go here.

If you can't splurge for the band's box set, this is probably the best place to go for a retrospective of the band in each era. It's not definitive, but it does give a nice look at what the band was up to - not only in the 70's - but in the 80's and 90's, as well.

As a die hard fan, we have it all, but for the uninitiated, this is a good place to start. Otherwise, splurge for the box set. KISS Playlist Plus is a remastered 3-disc, 36-track compilation that has nice packaging at an affordable price.

For those who don't know this is a repackaging of the three volumes (which are sold seperately) of the KISS 20th Century Masters releases.

This is evident case of business. It is exactly like "The Best of KISS The Millenium Collection I - III" with other cover. As I am KISS fan, I must keep it !!!

Words don't describe how awesome this CD is. They have all my favorites: Strutter, Domino, Heaven's On Fire, God Gave Rock n' Roll to You, Creatures of the Night...all they need is God of Thunder. I highly recommend this CD for any and all KISS Fans!

You Wanted the Best, You Got the Best! The Hottest Band in the Land: KISS!

Imagine that, another Greatest Hits collection from Kiss, next you will tell me that that they are thinking of replacing original members so KISS can go on forever. If you are a fan of the band, you have everything in this set. If this is your first look at KISS, buy Alive! and Alive II, that is where you get the real sound of KISS. If you can't get to see KISS live, buy Kissology Volume 1. That is the true KISS. KISS will always be Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter. No matter what Gene says, KISS is on its last legs as it continues to spit in the face of its fans. Skip this money grab set of cds....it is a waste of your time and money.

I gave this cd set 5 stars only becuase...it's KISS!!! It's not even a good intro. compilation for the band, with the exception of disc #2, where, it does bring together a very good collection of KISS songs from the 80's. Otherwise, this set doesn't give justice to what KISS offered in the 70's and just throws out there some songs from the 90's--but doens't really include the best from Revenge or Carnival of Souls..and the could have omitted the Unplugged tracks to do so.

If YOU WANT THE BEST of KISS, get the following on cd and dvd:

The ALIVE CD Box Set (Which has ALIVE I,II, II and the REAL ALIVE IV (The millenium concert)

The KISSOLOGY DVDS Vol. I, II and III

CREATURES OF THE NIGHT CD
REVENGE CD
CARNIVAL OF SOULS CD
ROCK N. ROLL OVER CD and
HOTTER THAN HELL CD

KISS EXPOSED DVD

KISS EXTREME CLOSE UP / CONFIDENTIAL DVD

KISS KILLERS (Import CD)--The "new" tracks on them are some of the best KISS studio songs they recorded with ERIC CARR on the drums.

KISS ACE FREHLEY & PAUL STANLEY 1978 SOLO CDS

for KISS solo stuff, get:

ACE FREHLEY--FREHEY'S COMET, SECOND SIGHTING AND TROUBLE WALKING CDS

PETER CRISS -- CRISS: CAT #1 (Hard to find cuase out of print) cd

UNION--SELF TITLED and THE BLUE ROOM CDs (Bruce Kulick's band after he was in KISS)

PAUL STANLEY - LIVE TO WIN CD

ESP LIVE DVD (The ERIC SINGER Project LIVE in Australia: with BRUCE KULICK, JOHN CORABI (UNION, MOTLEY CRUE) and CHUCK GARRICK (ALICE COOPER'S current bassist).

OK, I listed like 20 cds/dvds, but there's like about 40-50 KISS releases total out there...These are the best KISS has had to offer in their 35+year carreer.

Check em out!

Great songs. Too bad I already own all of them. Some on as many as seven or eight different CD's. And thirty dollars! Forget it! Call Ace and Peter (or better yet steal Eric Singer back from Alice) and put out a new album or retire already.

Caça níqueis. Coletânea tripla serve bem para quem não conhece a banda e quer gastar pouco com todo o vasto material da 'Banda Mais Quente do Mundo" ...

I was satisfied with the promptness of your service and I was kept up to date with my shipment.The cd set that I ordered arrived in excellent condition. I have ordered other items from Amazon and cannot fault the service.
