I always forget that KISS is an actual band, and not a gigantic marketing gimmick...
I don't. They were original and wierd in the 70's. Took sexual topics to a twisted level. The make-up the show...good songwriting. Not always proper or clean live either...which should be a good thing for alot of people who like a bit of ugly and artsy stylings in their classic rock. (and for many it is)
Lou Reed, Iggy, The Dolls ect. They were a part of that whole creative New York vibe that was happening in the 70's
They could be considered more of a marketing thing today...but that's because they're old and had an image that was more easily marketed than other bands.
Like a wise man once said..you wouldn't see Marvel Presents The Eagles.
I think Paul is back to being pretty well grounded with his music and his art (painting) and with plans on making another new record since Sonic Boom seems to be back on track musically.
There are a couple bands that I don't care for on this list. But not KISS.
They deserve it...as many of them do. Also as a Beatles fan first and formost I can understand how others can be bored and cheesed off at these awards,shows,list or whatever else has the top blah blah blah...
..like some have already said. We know who's gonna come out on top.
