KISS
If you think Kiss smacks of crass contrivance—or cosmetic values over content—you’re greatly mistaken! The faceless band was instrumental in popularizing glam/glitter rock in the ‘70s and for raising rock theatrics to a sophistiicated art form. Spandex, pancake makeup and smoke bombs have never been used so expertly!
Kiss have recorded at least 20 "heavy metal thud-rock” albums, have given birth to to comic books and a cartoon series, and—most recently—singer Gene Simmons has become a versatile film actor of considerable potential. Lucky for us, it’s been 13 years since Kiss’ humble beginnings—Kiss still rules!
