5. Band: Ace Frehley
    Song: Into The Night
    Album: Frehley's Comet (1987)

    Ace Frehley is one of the most influential guitarists of all time. He was in Kiss during their heyday in the late 1970's, during which he gained a considerable following due to his guitar prowess. Then, in 1982, under circumstances still very much debated, Ace separated from Kiss to pursue other musical opportunities, and 5 years later, put out this very solid album. Overall, you can tell this album was about the guitars, from top to bottom, but then again, that's certainly nothing to complain about, especially when all the guitar work is done by one of hard rock's most accomplished guitarists. This song in particular has some fiery guitar work, with the solo being quite noteworthy, and it all around is just a good hard rock song. Plus, the lyrics are more substantial than most other songs; in this case, they're about the impoverished and their struggles from day to day. And yet, even with these slightly somber lyrics, the song still rocks! Enjoy! \m/
