Released in 1976.Destroyer is KISS' best selling studio album.Hot on the heels of the mega-successful Alive!, KISS needed a special studio album to keep the momentum going.They succeeded with Destroyer.The album's biggest single was "Beth",sang by Peter Criss."Beth" was the B-side of "Detroit Rock City" because the band thought it didn't stand a chance of being a hit.

LINE-UP:Paul Stanley,Gene Simmons,Ace Frehley,Peter Criss

Released in 1976, and one of my personal favorites,Rock And Roll Over was another extremely successful release.KISS rides the wave of fame as they get closer to the top."Calling Dr. Love" becomes a Gene signature song and Peter's "Hard Luck Woman" is mistaken for Rod Stewart by many people.

Released in 1977.KISS reaches their pinnacle and has now become the hottest band in the world.Ace makes his singing debut on "Shock Me".Merchandising is high with any,and everything bearing the KISS logo.KISS' stage show is of monsterous proportions with enough pyrotechnics to take out a small country.Movie deals start rolling in.A very good album.
