Another spin on things.

AC/DC I think are the less cheesy of the two, thus earning them more respect right from the word go. You feel like AC/DC are authentic rock musicians, while Kiss you don't know how seriously to take them. Think about Lordi, that Eurovision band whatever, they make some pretty good music but I know I'd take them far more seriously if it was just them and the music, and not popular because of their novel get-ups.

So since Kiss was so big on image and spectacle, I think it is important to note how AC/DC have them beat by just looking like authentic rock musicians.

It's like asking who you'd rather be seen with, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones? 4 guys in nice dainty wee suits with lovely combed hair, or a bunch of guys that looked like your rough and tumble, best mates?

I'd pick they guys I could relate to best, the guys that looked like your mates.
