They easily have my vote. They are pure garbage.

KISS may have some stupid songs but I'll bet their live shows are a blast to see.

Nickelback or Creed are better contenders.

4/8/2011 1:07:06 AM

but see, they will both be largely forgotten after about 30 years, unfortunately, KISS wont...

4/8/2011 1:13:49 AM

God I hope you're right.

4/8/2011 1:23:55 AM

I'm with jaybe on this, I've never understood why their horrible music has continued to be played and I'm scared that it will continue to be played way after their last toothless fan dies

4/8/2011 1:30:02 AM

the man beat up someone while holding a rack of ribs, then held it in a random, crackling street fire to warm them up.

4/8/2011 1:31:52 AM

KISS is pretty terrible

I never understood the appeal

4/8/2011 1:32:20 AM

white gang members itt

4/8/2011 1:34:56 AM

Tito rules the streets!

or something

4/8/2011 1:39:43 AM

this is a great thread

kiss is horrible

especially in the 80s

4/8/2011 1:42:45 AM

kiss does have several enjoyable songs. creed on the other hand...

4/8/2011 2:27:39 AM

I recognize that their catalog as a whole is pretty terrible, however, I still love "Strutter".

yeah

I always liked that hot little number Don't Need Nothin' But a Good Time

4/8/2011 3:06:48 AM

The answer depends on how you define successful. There are some pretty TURRIBLE bands on the radio nowadays...

4/8/2011 4:14:40 AM

The KISS Army is going to hunt you guys down.

4/8/2011 7:15:18 AM

People that haven't heard Revenge or Alive II ITT

4/8/2011 7:45:37 AM

pure shit

never have i ever listened to a KISS song all the way thru

the 80s sucked in general

4/8/2011 8:11:10 AM

I dont know why so many people hate on Creed. I happen to like them.

4/8/2011 8:19:36 AM

Agreed.

unless we're counting Backstreet Boys, N Sync, and Spice Girls as "bands"

4/8/2011 8:25:09 AM

i support this thread

4/8/2011 9:31:28 AM

i went to the concert at walnut creek in August ... it was the most elaborate stage/effects i've ever seen

4/8/2011 9:39:41 AM

I generally agree with the OP but there are a few good songs and their shows are fun. I think some people like the idea of KISS more than the music.

I like the wall of speakers they use on stage

4/8/2011 9:48:09 AM

Hotter than hell is awesome. Early kiss is decent, nothing to write home about it.

at this point KISS is more of a corporate entity than a band. also gene simmons is a colossal douchebag

4/8/2011 10:01:45 AM

This is how they enter onto the stage, that thing they're standing on sort of ferris wheels over the back of the stage lol

4/8/2011 10:10:37 AM

Some people want to rock and roll all night and party every day.
Sorry if you don't get it.

4/8/2011 10:23:20 AM

I've only heard bits and pieces of KISS songs, but I've always thought their popularity has to do with the costumes and showmanship more than the music. Of course that doesn't explain how they've lasted so long.

You mean the wall of cardboard fronts?

4/8/2011 10:27:53 AM

it's actually a wall of flatscreen tvs

4/8/2011 10:28:52 AM

KISS, Nickelback, Van Halen, Creed --- all up there for this title.

radiohead is worse than kiss.

oh wait, you said successful.

4/8/2011 11:31:42 AM

yes

/thread

4/8/2011 11:36:04 AM

Or I guess another way to put it is: "is KISS the most successful shit band of all time?"

top ten worst..........................


BEST

4/8/2011 3:25:02 PM

best and successful are totally different things

4/8/2011 3:57:07 PM

Anyone who says Creed or Nickleback either doesn't understand the question, doesn't realize that KISS is several orders of magnitude more successful than either of those bands, or doesn't realize how god fucking awful KISS actually is.

LICK IT UP

4/8/2011 3:59:02 PM

Kiss is kind of like when a guy with a small penis buys a nice car

except this time the guy has a micro-penis and the car is a Maybach

I like to rock and roll all night and part of every day. I can only rock and roll from like 3-5.

4/8/2011 4:09:10 PM

I like a few KISS songs...probably just the popular ones (Detroit Rock City namely) but don't care for most of their music.

4/8/2011 4:16:46 PM

"I Love it Loud" "Heaven's on Fire"

4/8/2011 4:41:00 PM

Ace Frehley shits on this thread.

4/8/2011 4:42:34 PM

whatever, kiss is awesome and "Gene Simmons' Family Jewels" is a great show!!

4/8/2011 5:07:55 PM

Tenacious D takes the cake on that one

4/8/2011 5:33:32 PM

tenacious D is on a completely different level of successful as KISS.
