If they are going to put country music artists in the rock n roll hall of fame, then the floodgates are pretty open.Originally Posted by Moose-Knuckle

There was a lot more intricate music coming out at the time. There was a lot more musical, stuff coming out at the time. The thing many people didn't like about Kiss was that their stuff was hard and simple. The makeup was definitely a gimmick, but there were enough people that liked the hard simple music that the gimmick worked. I actually didn't like the makeup that much, but I thought a lot of the hard fast simple songs were really fun to listed to. I wasn't always in the mood for more intricate stuff like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, or The Eagles.
You know what I like best about most people?

Not even intricate... Boston, Skynard, Heart, BTO, could name a dozen other bands that just had better tunes, better music. And more came later.
I'll give Gene Simmons credit, his schtick worked, made them millions. He can be funny. Certainly an entertainer.
But I will always think of them as a step above the Monkees, a mfg'd band. Does not meant untalented, maybe just uninspiring.

The first band I mentally compared Kiss to was the Monkees.

Formulatic copies of Kiss? Not a fan of hair era in general, and in particular, twisted sister.
