115 - Kiss Love Gun 1977

"Love Gun" was Kiss' fifth studio album in three years (and seventh release overall, peaking at number four on Billboard), and proved to be the last release that the original lineup played on. By 1977, Kiss merchandise was flooding the marketplace (lunch boxes, makeup kits, comic books, etc.), and it would ultimately lead to a Kiss backlash in the '80s. But the band was focused on their music for "Love Gun", similar in sound and approach to their previous straight-ahead rock release, "Rock and Roll Over". One of Kiss' best and most renowned hard rockers in the thunderous title track.
