And KISS was one of those bands that I heard once or twice, never really got into. They were more about image and self promotion and less about the actual music. When I first started getting into heavy music (mid 80's around 13 y.o), looking back to the 70's found gems like ACDC, Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Deep Purple, and yeah, Kiss was just not cutting it for me. Give Gene credit, though, that dude understood that marketing and exposure would take them places. They put their faces on everything, and still do!

That's why I put Kiss on the list. They were awesome when I was 13 but you quickly realize there's not that much there musically. They did make a lot out of a rather limited amount of talent. Their best musician was Ace Frehley who actually was a good guitarist when he was sober but there's the rub.

Reggae is a huge genre. I can listen to it all day because there's so much variety but it's easy to think Bob Marley and his popified US recordings are all there is. It's like somebody from Thailand thinking all there is to rock music is AC/DC.

Kiss did a remarkable job of branding and marketing themselves.  Whether it was Simmons, the manager or whoever, they sold so much merchandise that it’s not even funny. Other bands may have been more popular but Kiss made up for that in sales.  Ingenious.  Kudos to whoever did that. I’m not a Kiss hater, I’m not a Kiss lover.  Sure, I like a bunch of their stuff.  But the marketing people knocked it out of the park.  And more power to them.

Oh, and don’t talk bad about ac/dc
