Is Dynasty...Disco?

It’s disco night on American Idol! Naturally, my mind immediately went to Kiss and the album Dynasty. The big hit from Dynasty is "I Was Made for Lovin' You" - and it sure sounds disco to me! After all, the album did come out in 1979 - and the 70s were all about the platform shoes and leisure suits.

Now, I'll be honest, "I Was Made for Lovin' You" is one of my favorite Kiss songs - but I like disco. I can see how some members of the Kiss Army might be turned off by Dynasty. It's true many of the album's other tracks never get performed live...and none are nearly as strong as "I Was Made for Lovin' You."

Ok, I'll come clean...*takes deep breath.* Dynasty is my favorite Kiss album after Lick It Up. Yep. 'Tis true. I like my Kiss Glammy, with a side of cheese.

You know, I'm sure Kiss took a lot of criticism for experimenting with disco, but I've got to give them credit: at least back in the day the band was willing to take risks to gain new fans. After all, new fans = more money. Gene Simmons does love money.

A very big part of me hopes Adam Lambert sings "I Was Made for Lovin' You" tonight on American Idol, but the song probably isn't technically challenging enough for a singing competition (and some spoiler site says he's singing Blondie). Oh well. A Glam girl can dream.
