Kiss for Rock Hall of Fame?

2006-08-08 by Horrorshow34 | 25 Comments
Two hundred Kiss fans protested last Saturday (August 5) at the fact the Stadium Rock giants have not
yet been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in Ohio. Although the band have been eligible to be entered since 1999.

According to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame's official website - arists are eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first debut recording. Kiss release their self titled debut in 1974.

This year Black Sabbath, Blondie, Sex Pistols and Miles Davis all joined the Ohio Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Will Kiss be rubbing shoulders with Ozzy and Debbie any time soon?

Thanks to NME.Com for this information

Joining the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? - No chance!

Having their own special section in Toys R' Us next to Star Trek and Lord Of The Rings? - Yes!

I've always thought Van Halen should be inducted soon.

They deserve it, that's for sure. They will get it in due time. I think they should have replaced Blondie this year...

Blondie is about a thousand times better than all the bands mentioned here.

Kiss isnt a good band at all, in my opinion. But they did do alot for the theatrical elements in live rocks shows, plus they seem to be pretty popular. Looks like enough to get them in to me.

KISS isn't my thing really, but they do deserve to be in there (eventually).

Kiss Deserves it way more than the sex pistols. The SP's only put out on e album and it was complete crap. Kiss put out close to thirty and there was a t least 1 good song on every one of them.

Yeah I just could never really dig Kiss that much. Blondie on the other hand, she freaking deserves the hall of fame.

No you suck! But seriously, Other than wearing face paint and ridiculous outfits on stage, I don't think Kiss really contributed that much to Rock and Roll. They were pretty much, as pulseczar said, just a novelty, and nothing more. I guess you could say that they... paved the way for more crap bands.

Shock rock isn't even a valid genre or term.

KISS are generally the apex of the extensive melding of hard rock and commercialism that fired up in the 1970s. Very few bands have attained the capitalistic success and franchising that KISS has achieved. Not honoring that would be a disgrace.

"48 albums of crap."

And this is coming from someone who likes Gwen Stefani...

Gwen has yet to release her 48th work, so I wouldn't make judgments about her albums. I suppose, at least she's catchy...

How can you even compare Gwen Stefani to KISS?

rock n roll was often clichéd and over-filled with excess, kiss are just too rock n roll, because they forgot to put any talent into their music. Putting Kiss next to Ozzy and Debbie and (Much more importantly) Miles is just retarded.

u guys have no idea do you? listen to some of kisses albums and you will see that they do write very good songs(shock me, love gun, and i stole your love just a few). sure they had a few bad songs(forever and i was made for loving you) but they have way more goos songs. and they introduced the theatric aspect to rock and roll.
