You may wonder why a lifelong KISS fan such as m'self hasn't included Destroyer and Rock And Roll Over on such a list. My reasoning is simple. I don't much care for the original band. Peter Criss stinks up everything he plays (badly) and (allegedly) sings on. They became a much better group once they kicked him to the kerb and brought in the late Eric Carr. I've got flayed alive on several forums for suggesting the classic lineup are anything less than gods, but I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
