Doesn't ultimately matter if YOU think they're any good or not though... the album sales are what they are, they dominated hard rock in the 70's and there is nothing you can do or say to change that. Don't be a ****ing snob, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it wasn't worthwhile, and seriously, you wanna talk about influential? better get your head outta the sand... |

The problem with KISS is that all their songs sound a whole lot better when preformed by other people. |

Every hard rock act who came after KISS lists them as an influence, every single one, even "high brow" rockers you wouldn't think like Pearl Jam, Dinosaur JR, Nirvana... YOU may not like them, but that doesn't change the facts. The problem with your musical opinion, is that you think it matters more than the millions upon millions of people who deeply disagree with you... do you think the Rolling Stones were worried about offending the "high brow" crowds when they gave "2000 Man" to KISS? |

As for the Who, there's probably a half dozen bands from the same scene in England that were more influential, let alone in rock history. The biggest contribution they made was when Pete Townsend discovered Hendrix. It's been discussed here before. Everybody loves to bag on KISS. They brought a lot of it on themselves. But when it comes right down to it, about the only band that gets mentioned more when the "influence" question comes up is the Beatles. Scott free is 100% right. |
