The four-disc, 56-track “Ikons” pulls songs heavily identified individually with bassist Gene Simmons, guitarists Paul Stanley and Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss, from both the Kiss and solo album catalogs.
Simmons’ disc includes favorites such as “Cold Gin,” “Parasite,” “God of Thunder” and “Rock and Roll All Nite,” while Stanley’s boasts “Detroit Rock City,” “Strutter,” “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” and “Love Gun.”
