No Picture Joe Average	#1 by Joe Fitzpatrick at Dec 6, 1978 at 10:10 AM EST
	My favorite song ever...of course it could be because my name is Beth....

No Picture Brennan Wanna Be	#2 by Brennan unknown at May 7, 1980 at 3:08 AM EST
	Peter Criss (X-KISS drummer) wrote this song befor ehe was even in KISS. He wrote it to his wife at the time, and when he was in KISS the song was changed and modified a little, by peter and KISS' manager, and then it was recorded and put on the 1976 album 'Destroyer' , Peter origionally recorded this song with his Pre-KISS band 'Chelsea' and it was entitled 'Beck', presumed to mean 'Becky'
