Kiss "Destroyer" [1976]

So intolerably terrible that it must have been part of the overall conspiracy to help disco dominate America (witness their association with Casablanca Records, for starters), Kiss' "Destroyer" sets out to make Aerosmith seem sexually mature and Black Sabbath intellectual. It does so by faking MC5 riffs while wearing clown makeup and the tackiest platform shoes not in Elton John's wardrobe. Forget that this pack of Jewish carnival workers couldn't have done it without the schtick; they prove on "Destroyer" they couldn't do it with the schtick, unless undermining the rock elements of contemporary music was the objective, akin to Dick Cheney's relationship with global peace. Utilizing Nazi Stormtrooper "S"s is a nice touch; they cover the odor of the Likud while also bringing into the fold racist white boys, with whom they share a common interest in violating suburban teenage girls. Suitable only for those tracking the germination of "Insane Clown Posse."
