Like KISS or not, they influenced a lot of bands that grew up in the 70's and 80's.


Thr Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a JOKE!!!|||Your Right Why not.Kiss Did influence allot of bands,Gene Simmons found and produced allot of other talented rock bands.Other than that they helped revolutionize Rock n Roll as it is today.To me they was and still are one of the hardest working bands in the world today.You can't deny the fact that they do deserve their spot in the RnR Hall of fame.Some groups do not even need to be in the Hall of fame like Rap and Country.Also some bands made it before Kiss that haven't been on the Rock scene as long as Kiss has been,for instance Metallica.So yes Rock n Roll Hall of fame is a joke.|||OK.|||yes R%26amp;RHOF is a bunch of garbage. too many artists are inducted and more and more of them are completely unrelated to rock music





however, in its defense i must say that kiss is a horrible band|||The Hall of Fame is a joke. A couple more would be Alice Cooper and Rush. I'm not really even a fan of KISS or Rush, but I can't deny they deserve their spot.|||Nothing personal... I know they have an army out there and all but if the Hall is going to stand for something it has to start with the music. Now if you want to tell me that KISS pioneered stage theatrics, had kickin' outfits, costumes, and kabuki theater... I will give you that. But come on, musically they are very weak... lyrically challenged... "Lick it Up" alone could keep them out!





They have a couple of good party anthems... "I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night and Party Every Day"... but if that gets them in then you have to let in Gary Glitter!





I know they had dolls and lunchboxes and everything in-between, but I mean, artistically... Cinderella blows them away. KISS will get in one day but not until those kids with the lunchboxes are the old farts with the votes...





Who seems out of place here: I say it is KISS, sorry Gene Simmons.





The Beatles


The Rolling Stones


The Doors


KISS


The Who


Led Zeppelin


Cream


U2


Creedence Clearwater Revival





I am not a hater... that is just how I see them.|||Son, kiss is the joke-and everyone knows it.|||Sweet heart these are the people who inducted MADONNA. What do you expect?





Btw, The bassist for Chis was excellent. At least he had talent. Which is more than I can say for many of their inductees of the past. I don't even know who Wanda Jackson is.





And YES , War and The Stooges belong.|||The Stooges were way more influential than Kiss, im sure kiss will get in eventually but its about time they put the stooges in.
