Seldom do bands come along that leave such an indelible mark on popular culture. During the 1970s KISS redefined what it meant to 'entertain' people with their bombastic live performances and larger than life personalities And the merchandising... During the 1980s the band fought for survival as internal strife and external competition forced an attempt to reinvent themselves. The early 1990s had seen KISS make one final gesture to be a relevant musical force, but this did not translate into the demanded success.

As such this work strives to be a broad guide to the recording history of the band, but not a terse all-inclusive discography (which while interesting to a few would bore many to tears!). It doesn’t aim to focus in any particular manner on the band..
