Kiss-Rock And Roll Over (1976)

Kiss's fifth album is one of their most acclaimed releases among their millions of fans. Recorded at the Star Theatre in New York City during September and October of 1976, the venue was chosen because the band wanted to capture a live sound, especially Peter Criss's drumming. However, Criss wasn't satisfied with the initial takes, so he decided to record all the drum parts in a separate, enclosed room, communicating with the rest of the band and the sound and production engineers via video conference. The album features heavy hard rock saturated with memorable guitar riffs and suggestive lyrics. Songs like "Calling Dr. Love", "Ladies Room", "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em", "Baby Driver", "I Want You", "Hard Luck Woman", and "Take Me" are all classics for the band. The album would achieve double platinum status and its cover would become one of the band's iconic images, printed on millions of posters and t-shirts around the world.
