KISS
Started it all off. Poor production as well, but more KISS staples than any other album.

KISS has more KISS classics on it than any other KISS release.

For me Kiss is still their best studio album.

Look "The Elder" should be 1. It's their most influential album (most will disagree)

Alive!
Still the definitive live album of the decade and the closest to seeing the KISS spectacle in person.

Alive! is my second favorite KISS album. It shows KISS at their best- live.

Could not agree more - Alive! defines what Kiss is all about.

Creatures of the Night

Creatures of the Night is a return to greatness for KISS, despite the initial slow sales. It's still not perfect like their first 7 or 8 studio albums, though. This is also their heaviest release.

I would put all of the first six studio albums above this and others such as Revenge, The Elder, Sonic Boom, Psycho Circus and Ace's solo.

Hotter Than Hell
The production stinks, but the songs are exceptional. "All the Way" is an underrated gem.

Revenge
Too bad KISS couldn't continue to make music like this for the last decade plus. Spit, Domino, Take it Off, Every Time I Look at You, God Gave Rock and Roll to You are outstanding tracks.

Revenge is the best KISS album of the 90s; it's really heavy/decadent.

Rock and Roll Over
Forget all the talk about Destroyer. This was classic KISS' best studio album and most consistent set of hard rock songs. Mr. Speed may be the best song KISS ever did.

Rock and Roll Over is the best overall KISS studio album. It's non stop fun- beginning to end.

Unmasked
39 points - added 3 years ago by BradHemphill - 2 comments
Comments:
The focus of Unmasked is to sell albums. The songs work for the most part. Ace Frehley starts to stand out here, which may have contributed to him leaving KISS soon after.

An under rated album with catchy tunes.Good pop rock and sounds better than what's out in today's music world

Dressed to Kill
38 points - added 3 years ago by BradHemphill - 2 comments
Comments:
Includes several great tracks that don't always get the spotlight, including Room Service, She, and Love Her All I can. C'mon and Love Me is what 70s KISS is all about.

Dynasty

Comments:
Dynasty still showcases the greatness of 70s KISS, but also shows the party is starting to wind down, as not all of the tracks stick with you.

This was my very first KISS album and after that I've been a die hard KISS freak and collector!

Ace Frehley

Comments:
Ace Frehley was the best of the original KISS solo releases. It stands side by side with Love Gun, for example.
Added 2 months ago by guest, 0 points
No offence but aces solo has very right to be in the kiss discography only cuz he's part of the orginal four without Ace in the beginning there would be no KISS

great album but shouldn't be on a Kiss list

Psycho Circus
20 points - added 3 years ago by BradHemphill - 1 comment
Comments:
The most underrated KISS album. It doesn't have the lusty lyrics as seen with much of 70s KISS releases, but still showcases the star bravado from the original members as well as on any other album.

Unplugged
Kiss finally doing their best songs in one show: "Got to Choose," "Domino," "Comin' Home," "Goin' Blind." The vocals are the best they've ever been. The reunion. This has it all.

Carnival of Souls
Definately an unrrated album. Sounds nothing like past KISS but was a good effort on trying something new! As a die hard I have it in my collection but have only listened to it twice its still in mint condition!

Better than Sonic Boom, but also lacks the sexy theme that brought in so many fans of masked KISS. Still, definitely worth picking up they still got it.
