Not sure anyone truly rates KISS as ground-breaking musicians. Marketers, yes. They basically took the Sweet shtick and mainstreamed it a bit but pushed themselves as being edgy and alternative.

But if you watch music talent shows or listen to celebrities talk about their musical inspirations, a high percentage mention KISS. That's when I immediately change the channel.

And yes, I'm only considering "Jefferson Airplane" and not lumping in "Jefferson Starship" and plain ol' "Starship". Jefferson airplane is crap. I think they have 2 listenable songs. The rest is really bad. And they were horrible live too Never a fan of CSNY either. Or Fleetwood Mac. I dont understand the appeal of Jimmy Buffet. I know one song but he has a loyal following.

Fleetwood Mac (after Lindsay & Stevie joined) were awesome when they were reasonably sober. The double album Rumours is a masterpiece.

I agree Rumours is a masterpiece, but it's a single album!

By "single" album, I mean 1 disc, not 2. I wouldn't even put FM in this discussion of over rated bands, but that's just my opinion.

Toto is one of my favorite bands, but I would have to put them down as overrated because of how they always butcher their own songs live. I love most of their songs, but their live performances usually sound like crap. I get that a lot of songs sound different live, but when Toto sing their own songs they sound like people at karaoke bars who have bad too much to drink trying to sing songs way beyond their range.

There's a lot of good bands that suck live. The absolute worst live performances I've seen in the past few years are Vince Neil, Van Halen (David Lee Roth), and Don Dokken. Plenty of '80s guys have lost a step, but these 3 are incapable of publicly performing anymore and that goes above and beyond everyone else from that generation.

I mentioned Fleetwood Mac as a comparison... but I don't consider them over-rated. Decent band. Have the early blues stuff with Peter Green, the 70's AOR stuff, 80's soft rock, and even listenable stuff in the past 20 years. As a kid, I thought it was odd (or a typo) that Judas Priest's "Green Manalishi" was cited as a Fleetwood Mac cover. Finally heard the original, years later, and agreed with Priest that it was a cool song.
