Best original lineup KISS album


Just curious what most fans consider to be the best KISS album from the original lineup days? I was too young to really get into music until KISS was in their no makeup phase but am interested in picking up some of their early stuff.

I would say Rock and Roll Over is best overall but Love Gun, Destroyer, Kiss and Dressed to Kill are great too.

At the time (& for a long time after) I would've said Destroyer, but in recent years I've found except for Detroit Rock City, God of Thunder & Shout It Out Loud it hasn't aged particularly well. Nowadays I'd put Rock & Roll Over as their most consistently good album, & Hotter Than Hell a close second. The best w/o the original lineup for me is Creatures of the Night.

Hotter Than Hell and Rock N Roll Over are tied as my top favorite KISS albums.

Alive, Rock n Roll Over and Destroyer.

I also have a soft spot for Dynasty and Unmasked. Underrated albums in my opinion.
