Most of us went through a Kiss phase in our youth before we saw the light!(That means you too The Progtologist because I know you clicked on this poll!
Just thought it would be interesting to see who was/ or is your favorite member of the band.

I predict Gene Simmons will win this poll easily.
And I bet there's a lot of women that would agree!
Deuce was the first Kiss song I ever heard, and still my fav. Not a big fan now though.

I bet Peter Criss gets no votes. no one wants to be Peter Criss.
The only thing good about Kiss was that movie in the 90s about those kids going to see a Kiss Concert. pretty funny.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I'm willing to admit I had a Kiss phase, and saw them a couple of times. Hardly the 'hottest band in the world' as they claimed, but still great fun. Ace was my favourite member. I liked his laid back, space ace persona. I quite liked his solo album too. 
I've been watching Gene Simmons' Rock School on UK TV. I dont know how he puts up with some of those kids!  On the other hand, how they put up with him is a mystery.
Best Kiss album for me was Destroyer.

To be honest I have to say I thought Kiss' early work is top notch, heavy glam-metal. For sure, it's a heck of a lot better than any of the 80s hair metal bands who shamelessly aped Kiss' sound. However, whether I could listen to anything past 'Destroyer' or so is highly doubtful- 'Lick It Up' and 'Crazy Crazy Nights' are just terrible...

Yeah...I went through a Kiss phase.I spent the ages from 4 to 14 in the 70's,and they were quite popular when I was a kid.Despite being a drummer myself I never cared for Peter Criss much,I always liked Ace Frehley.

Can't decide. I didn't have a "Kiss phase", but I like some of their songs.

The only Kiss phase I went through is the one I reach when meeting the girlfriend and wanting to get cosy.
This group simply never did it for me although I must say some tracks were correct .
But their success quickly went to their heads, especially with those solo records simultaneously released. You had to have crud in your eyes not to realize that they were industrial rock or even worse corporate rock
But these guys and their whole paraphenelia products disgusted me even as a teen ager, simply because they had catalogues of their material including puppets of them, clothes etc... Trying to getkids hooked on your trash wioth comic books, only The Jackson-5 stooped lower than that with the animated comics
This was about shameless money making and they were certainly at the base of my dislike for openly commercial music .
sorry guys, have to state it as it is , not even as I see it

Ace Frehley. Fav album is Rock And Roll Over, (great guitar tone on this one!) which I still listen to as frequently as, say, Deep Purple.

Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be or seem to be self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free
