This Kiss song sounds good to me now, but it sure wasn't what teenage-me (a big Kiss fan a few years earlier) wanted to hear in 1979.

Oh good Lord, Pablo Cruise. They were the quintessential SoCal band of the 70s. They played every beach and festival for about 10 years, until everyone got tired of them.
