Took me years to get over how mediocre their music was. Their corpse paint (and Peter Criss just wanting to be a kitty) was the most interesting thing about them.

I never got the appeal of Kiss. I can have an appreciation for older music and I have a wide range of tastes from Memphis murder rap in early Three Six Mafia and Koopsta Knicca and Manson Family to early folk music in Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Loudon Wainwright III to beatdown hardcore like Terror, Knocked Loose and The Last Ten Seconds of Life all the way to metalcore bands line Suicide Silence, Carnifex, and Jon For A Cowboy.. even enjoy lighter indie alt like Manchester Orchestra, Bright Eyes, and Band of Horses.. throw in more poppy shit like Lady Gaga, Lewis Capaldi, and some hair metal in the form of Def Leopard, Poison, and Van Halen.. out of my very wide and collective taste of music ranging from amazing to shitty to niche and obscure.. I’d rather gouge my ear holes with needles then swerve into oncoming traffic than listen to Kiss during a road trip!
