Personally I wouldn't vote for any band that build it's musical reputation on the quality of their face painting. When Kiss first came out they primarily appealed to 12-15 year kids as a teeny-bopper version of glam rock bands like the New York Dolls and Alice Cooper. From my perspective, Kiss has always been a bit of a novelty band joke by four mediocre musicians to make a bundle of money.
