Rooted in the campy theatrics of Alice Cooper and the sleazy hard rock of glam rockers the New York Dolls, Kiss became a favorite of American teenagers in the ’70s. Most kids were infatuated with the look of Kiss, not their music. Decked out in outrageously flamboyant costumes and makeup, the band fashioned a captivating stage show featuring dry ice, smoke bombs, elaborate lighting, blood spitting, and fire breathing that captured the imaginations of thousands of kids. But Kiss’ music shouldn’t be dismissed it was a commercially potent mix of anthemic, fist-pounding hard rock driven by sleek hooks and ballads powered by loud guitars, cloying melodies, and sweeping strings. It was a sound that laid the groundwork for both arena rock and the pop-metal that dominated rock in the late ’80s.

In 1976, KISS dropped the bombshell on the world being DESTROYER, an album that originally received resistancefrom fans due to the band exploring a new sound and has long become the quintessential and all-time best selling KISS studio album. Exploding with concert staples and KISS Army favorites like “Detroit Rock City,” “Shout It OutLoud,” and “God Of Thunder” – the album’s new sounds came from the softer side of songs like “Do You Love Me?,”and songs heavy with orchestral arrangements including “Great Expectations” and their surprise hit single “Beth.”

Alive! is Kiss’ first live album, one of four total produced by the hard rock band. The result of the record was considered to be a major breaking point for the group, setting high standards for all live records. Alive! featured live tracks from their first three studios albums: Kiss, Hotter Than Hell, and Dressed to Kill. The record reached number 9 on the U.S. album chart and remained on the chart for 110 weeks. In 2003 it was listed as number 159 of Rolling Stone’s list of 500 greatest albums of all time and peaked at number 26 on Guitar World magazine’s  list of 100 Greatest Guitar Albums of All Time.

Love Gun was Kiss’ fifth studio album in three years (and seventh release overall, peaking at number four on Billboard), and proved to be the last release that the original lineup played on. By 1977, Kiss merchandise was flooding the marketplace (lunch boxes, makeup kits, comic books, etc.), and it would ultimately lead to a Kiss backlash in the ’80s. But the band was still focused on their music for Love Gun, similar in sound and approach to Rock and Roll Over, their previous straight-ahead rock release. It included Ace Frehley’s lead vocals on “Shock Me,” as well as one of Kiss’ best and most renowned hard rockers in the thunderous title track. The album’s opener, “I Stole Your Love,” also served as the opening number on Kiss’ ensuing tour, while “Christine Sixteen” is one of the few Kiss tracks to contain piano prominently. “Almost Human” is an underrated rocker and features a great Jimi Hendrix-esque guitar solo from Frehley (no doubt due to ex-Hendrix producer Eddie Kramer manning the boards again), while “Plaster Caster” is a tribute to the famous groupies of the same name. The only weak spots on an otherwise stellar album are an obvious “Rock and Roll All Nite” ripoff titled “Tomorrow and Tonight,” and a pointless remake of the Phil Spector-penned classic “Then He Kissed Me” (reworked as “Then She Kissed Me”).

Since Kiss’ 1987 album, Crazy Nights, was their most pop-accessible album until then, a total of three video clips were issued, which are all featured on the home video of the same name. While the videos aren’t exactly the best the band has ever produced, they were very popular with MTV viewers: all appeared regularly on the network’s viewer request program at the time. The first video, “Crazy, Crazy Nights,” is a no-frills clip of the quartet lip-syncing the anthemic song to an auditorium full of excited fans, while the second one, “Reason to Live,” is a ballad that features clips of an attractive blonde seeking revenge on her unfaithful lover, Mr. Paul Stanley (!), while the band plays the song. The final clip, “Turn on the Night,” is one of the album’s most keyboard-heavy tracks, and follows the set-up of the second video for the most part – a female fan is shown enjoying a concert by the band while Kiss plays away. Besides the three clips, no other footage is featured, which makes the Crazy Nights video of interest to Kiss completists only.

By 1985, Kiss were a shadow of their former selves. Gone was the raw rock of their not so distant past, as well as their memorable “heavy Beatles” songwriting. In its place was a sound that was too similar to other pop-metal bands at the time, as well as unimaginative, predictable songs, as evidenced on Asylum. The album marked the appearance of Kiss’ fourth guitarist in four years, Bruce Kulick – brother of Bob Kulick, who played as a session guitarist on Alive II, Killers, and Paul Stanley’s 1978 solo album – who had replaced Mark St. John on the 1984-1985 Animalize tour. Besides the popular video/single “Tears Are Falling,” Asylum is chock-full of nondescript fluff (“I’m Alive,” “Trial by Fire,” “Secretly Cruel,” “Love’s a Deadly Weapon,” etc.). Although the band again treads on Spinal Tap territory with “Uh! All Night,” several tracks could have benefited greatly from a heavier sound, such as “King of the Mountain,” “Any Way You Slice It,” and “Who Wants to Be Lonely.” Although it attained platinum status, Stanley and Gene Simmons would rightfully dismiss Asylum later on.

Their ninth studio album, Music from “The Elder” was an epic concept album by KISS that featured orchestral elements. Considered to be one of their weakest efforts, the album sold poorly and the band did not tour in support of it. The album was also the last to feature Ace Frehley until the band’s 1996 Reunion Tour.
