Don't get me started on a few good albums and a whole lot of filler Floyd.

I wouldn't say any of these bands are actually s**t, some are pretty good, its just that they seem to have fans who have a massively myopic view of the band.

I get why someone likes Iron Maiden, I don't get how they think they're the 'greatest band of all time ever' etc.

Kiss are an interesting conundrum. They have a great vocalist, Paul Stanley, large personalities but have always just got away with it in terms of musicianship. They have relied on a set of their classic songs for many years and until recently have always tried to follow trends rather than create them. They were born out of British glam and hard rock and always struggled to shake off the image over substance tag.
Their really good albums are the two live albums "Alive" and "Alive II" and "Destroyer""which was produced by Bob Ezrin but to appreciate Kiss you really would have to have seen them live.

if you are going to wear full face make up and glittery jumpsuits and keep sticking your over long tongue out , youre going to be remembered as that . having said that I liked I was made for loving you , their ham fisted go at disco , there is great electro version of that by the queen of japan

Certainly any of the bands you mention sound better when you are f***ed up. With Hawkwind it is compulsory.

that's called struggling to shake off the image over substance tag

Kiss lacked any substance.

Now Alice Cooper, that's showmanship.

Kiss my ass.
