Now that’s a good one. Too bad Destroyer came out in 1976
WhiplashMotorbreath@reddit
Destroyer wasn't their first album, besides, Alive I came out in 1975, so.
ShimmyxSham@reddit
I didn’t say it was their first album
WhiplashMotorbreath@reddit
I know but you seemed to point that kiss would not work because your party is 1975 and Destoyer came out in '76.
Alive I came out in 1975 and is the album that took them from small time to big time.
ShimmyxSham@reddit
It’s not my party. And you win. I’m not going to argue over Kiss best album
ShimmyxSham@reddit
But you’re wrong. Destroyer put them on the map and people still thought they were a joke
ShimmyxSham@reddit
Destroyer was their best album
WhiplashMotorbreath@reddit
One of. Everyones opinion is going to be different. I like Animalized also.
Well. I like most of what they did.
ShimmyxSham@reddit
I’m actually going to see the Gene Simmons Band in May.

Interesting. I think of that as more early 80s.

How would this sub know and the oldest would have been 10? You're better off asking your baby boomer relatives, many here were too young.

Gym shorts, tube socks and a tank top

Light up a cigarette in the middle of the room and drop your ash/cigarette butt in an empty beer can.

Wear old license plates to simulate the long lines waiting to fill up.

Evel Knieval was popular then.

Elton John ruled the world of music, putting out seven consecutive #1 albums between 1972 and 1975.

Glass bottle sodas
Vietnam
Watergate

Great year for music, many classic albums released
og-lollercopter@reddit
Definite bonus points if they can pull off Ali and Frazier. Lol.
BanDelayEnt@reddit
Sonny & Cher
Captain & Tennille
Brad and Janet
LordVaklam@reddit
I have to second the suggestion of Brad and Janet
ShimmyxSham@reddit
I looked up The Doors, but that was too early. I looked up Van Halen, but that was a few years too late. So for 1975, you’re stuck with the Eagles or Elton John. You decide

Bring some shitty brown weed with seeds, a metal bowl and a few books of matches

I was born in 75, so a rattle and diaper?

Excellent suggestions. You probably could still get away a Vietnam War outfit.
