The 1974 debut bands battle, who has had the strongest career? Priest, KISS or Kansas? Or if you like who do you prefer?

[treeduck]

Priest? KISS? Or Kansas?

[djflex]

Priest all the way

[Ancient Ways]

Commercial success might say kiss but Judas Priest is my preference. To me kiss is a kids version of hard rock/metal.

[Mosher]

Priest definitely had the stronger career, and in an odd surprise move I also happen to prefer them. If I'd been asked when I was in my 20's or teens I'd have said Kansas.

 

Kiss isn't an important band to me at all, with all credit deserved given them for inspiring so many bands I really love. They obviously are a very important band to me, indirectly. But other than Detroit Rock City and possibly a handful of other tunes they just don't do anything for me.

[Union 5-3992]

Priest has nowhere near as many lows as the other two

[bluefox4000]

Priest. just fantastic.

 

Kansas was amazing in the 70's but fell apart quickly after and stumbled around horribly......only recently making a quality record.

 

And i don't like Kiss

Stormy went for KISS! :o :o :o

[Digital Dad]

Kiss is the most overrated band in rhe history of the world. Kansas lacks staying power. Priest is still going strong after nearly 45 years as a band.

[J2112YYZ]

JUDAS PRIEST :haz: :guitar:

yup they are in a race for that title for me with U2

 

Mick

[treeduck]

Priest is crushing these bands in the poll!

[Cyclonus X-1]

I like fifteen albums by Priest, two songs by Kansas, and nothing by Kiss.

 

It's pretty close, but I'll go with Priest.

Lol

 

I honestly pretty much only listen to 70's Priest. They are great though.

[JohnnyBlaze]

Lucas and his alters will be here soon to keep Kiss in the race.

[Ancient Ways]

Did any other important bands debut in 1974?

Yeah but I left them out for obvious reasons, such as the result would already be known before we started.

Not sure how KISS is overrated

 

They were never embraced by critics, elitist cliques or their peers .. Kiss had a bond that went beyond music - you either got them or you didn't ..

 

Even in their heyday, many more people hated them than loved them ... They worked hard at a grassroots level and became icons on thei own

 

Can't overrate success

[treeduck]

I wonder who Greyfriar is going to vote for?

[greyfriar]

To be fair, Kiss were great in the 70's and early 80's, I love that stuff.

But if I wanna rock'n'roll all nite, give me...
