  1. 1. The metal one ;)

    • Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

1975 produced both of these testaments to why I love the seventies.

 

But they aren't really that similar, or comparable.

 

But I bet you have an opinion.

 

I have one.

 

 

 

 

 

have fun.

There's no shame in losing to the greatest rock and roll album of all time

 

 

 

What does Moving Pictures have to do with this poll? :hail:

 

Similar to an eventful bowel movement, a real rock and roll album must have it's share of blood and fire .. and explosions

Love both. WYWH is a musical masterpiece. Alive! is really only a partially live album and heavily overdubbed.

 

I'm one of the rare people who actually prefers listening to KISS's first three studio records over Alive! The vocals are superior and you can better hear Peter's swing style and how much it added to their early sound.

 

It all depends on mood though. If I want to rock out, I ain't reaching for WYWH. ;)

Wrong. It should be about the music and that alone.

Gimme a break.

 

Rush could've played with no explosions and the performances would've still been awesome.

 

Despite some good tunes, Kiss has always needed the comic book theatrics.

Kiss pulled me in when I was 10-11 years old. The comic book theatrics were a big part of the appeal. And Kiss has never denied it. I still look back on that appeal with nostalgia and adoration. And the songs are good, maybe not groundbreaking or innovative, but good. Hooks, riffs, solos, melodies. Kiss has all that plus the theatrics. It's what Kiss is and never denied being.

I've only had two favorite bands in my life. Kiss was first. Soon after was Rush. I know all that about Kiss and how they never denied it.

 

But the way Lucas is stating it in this thread is as if Rush should be penalized for not being more like Kiss.

Not at all .. I love Rush because they are Rush .... I love KISS because they are KISS

 

I think what can be agreed on is that both bands made their mark, on their own terms, doing their it own way

 

More power to 'em

 

The one thing I would disagree with is that KISS didn't have the songs that would have made them without the theatrics ... They may not have had the chops, and in a way, I think their image worked against as far as being recognized as great songsmiths ... Hard Luck Woman, Tears Are Falling, Detroit Rock City, I Was Made For Loving You, Black Diamond - that's Paul Stanley writing some top notch, very diverse material
