It ain't easy, bein' cheesy.
You are right in saying that KISS was a major player as well, always thought they got overlooked entirely too much. Have seen then live 4 times, and would see em again, any chance I got.
I agree, in the sense that they are overlooked because they're not considered super-talented musicians or songwriters, and many people don't take them seriously. They were (are) exeptional marketers and made sure that they became a household name. Kind of like Madonna now- she's everywhere, but nobody's going to ever give her an award for her excellence as a musician.
KISS had a huge influence on a lot of bands.
