Russ Ballard, performing his own song as part of one of my favorite bands from the post-British Invasion era?

No contest.

The Original -- Argent, please!

Tim Burton was right: "A square jaw does not a Batman make." Steve Buscemi as the next Batman! Luke Perry as Joker! Let's make it happen!

I didn't know it was a cover. That's how much KISS owns it. KISS FTW!

Going with Kiss here.
For me they are more harmonious.

The Kiss cover is ok but it loses something toward the midway point. I've always considered Kiss to be overated anyway. Definitely going with the original for this one.

This^^^. The Original. Even if its not my favorite Argent tune.

KISS for me.

Cleaner, clearer.

Still waiting for Gaard and Arion.

I also think that KISS is overrated. However, this is their song.

Much like Jimi Hendrix now OWNS Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower", KISS now owns this song.

In NO WAY am I trying to say that Hendrix is overrated like KISS. I'm just comparing how they now own those covers.

Hm, not a real strong preference here, but I think I'm leaning just slightly Argent.

Oh, definitely going with Argent on this one. Makeup improves a great many things, but this song is not one of them.

Kiss lacks the awesomeness of the keys for this one. Russ Ballard, one of the great song writers of my generation and Argent, one of the most underrated of the bands. They could definitely hold their heads up high with tunes like this.
