Normally it's kinda tough to get tons of votes for Kiss with their reputation... but against The Nice?

I went for KISS for the trifecta, but I want to make it clear I'm dealing with the 1974-1977 version of KISS (plus some of the mid-80s hair metal revival). I've always kind of liked RnRO -- "Calling Dr. Love" is a good one. True, it suffers by comparison with Destroyer or Love Gun, but somebody's gotta be third in that group.

 

As for Emerson-adjacent, his work is good, but more in moments. Better musician? By light years! More enjoyable rock music experience? No, not usually.

Rock and Roll Over gets the nod for album, for the artwork alone!

KISS are a bit of a joke, but the gag is so well crafted and delivered, they deserve their ranking as an iconic rock band. ELP have their moments, and the highs are probably higher than those that KISS offers. But overall, it's a KISS sweep for me.
