The American rock band Kiss has released 20 studio albums (24 counting the unified 1978 solo albums), 13 live albums, 2 extended play and 67 singles. Formed in New York City in 1973, the group initially consisted of bassist Gene Simmons, rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley, lead guitarist Ace Frehley, and drummer Peter Criss; this most recognizable and successful lineup lasted until Criss’ departure in 1980. The band is known for its makeup and on-stage antics, which influenced many artists who later used similar effects in their concerts. Stanley and Simmons were the only members to feature on every studio and live album during their entire run.
