Don't get me started on a few good albums and a whole lot of filler Floyd. I wouldn't say any of these bands are actually s**t, some are pretty good, its just that they seem to have fans who have a massively myopic view of the band. I get why someone likes Iron Maiden, I don't get how they think they're the 'greatest band of all time ever' etc. The only Floyd albums that stand out are Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall but generally they are a bit depressing and dull. Their early stuff is all drug induced experimental stuff with mixed results.

I don't think anyone that likes them is wrong and I'm not saying they are rubbish. But, as you say, I can't comprehend how anyone could possibly rave about them.

Kiss are an interesting conundrum. They have a great vocalist, Paul Stanley, large personalities but have always just got away with it in terms of musicianship. They have relied on a set of their classic songs for many years and until recently have always tried to follow trends rather than create them. They were born out of British glam and hard rock and always struggled to shake off the image over substance tag. if you are going to wear full face make up and glittery jumpsuits and keep sticking your over long tongue out , youre going to be remembered as that . having said that I liked I was made for loving you , their ham fisted go at disco , there is great electro version of that by the queen of japan Edited by richard shaw (og)65 (03 Aug 2016 2.37pm)

Give me the 13th Floor Elevators, Love, The Doors or Jefferson Airplane or some early Hawkwind any day. Just because its drug based, doesn't mean it has to be 'up your own arse' bland.

Certainly any of the bands you mention sound better when you are f***ed up. With Hawkwind it is compulsory.
