I dont hate KISS, i even said i liked Love Gun.

I said that several times and you just ignore me, you overstate their greatness and when i try to explain why you are wrong you end up confusing me for being a KISS hater, sure im no fan, but i dont hate them either, but from a objective point of view i just dont think they were all that great.

When you said they OWNED the 70s, we managed to prove you wrong by actualy listing 100 artists who make better music than KISS, yes its our opinion, but some opinions just happen to be more valid than others, some are pretty valid, and some are not, and yours just dosent strike me or anyone else here as being much of the former.

BUt how many bands in the 1970s could do a three night stint at the LA Forum, or Madison Sqaure Garden??



Led Zeppelin and KISS, basically

and who made 'better music' is a matter of opinion.

I think you need to stop confusing popularity, sold out concerts and record sales with influence.

I'd say there were plenty more infleucnial.

Black Sabbath is the best example, every metal band of every sub genre owes it to them in some way, then you forget about King Crimson and how many prog bands they paved the way for, or The Stooges and how they were a big influence on punk rock...I'd also say John Lennon, Bob Marley, The Who, Stevie Wonder, Parliament/Funkadelic, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, New York Dolls, Yes, The Ramones, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Queen, The Doors, Can, Velvet Underground, The Sex Pistols and countless others are more influencial.

all those kids in the crowd became Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and many many other bands......

the three things you mention, are properties of influence.

No, I'd say Madonna was the major influence and Britney is her by-product, and yes, Britney will have an influence on th ekids listening and looking up to her.
