I picked Poison because they're not that great and yet they did it better. It was quite intentional. There's a reason Kiss isn't in the Hall despite their popularity. They are GWAR without the fake blood.
KISS is so cheesy, but were great marketers. Props for their business skills.

They'll go down more for their merchandise and imagery than music. Typical trend of the 80s culture, glamour and materialism...image over substance.

At the time it was basically music for teens of the day to piss their parents off. They had KISS like 90s kids had...idk...Limp Bitzkit or whatever
 
I’ll just say Queensrÿche is probably the best of the 80’s metal bands imo. Operation Mindcrime is eerily applicable today.
Someone brought them up on The Bennington Show the other day as their guilty pleasure band growing up. Some other good ones were mentioned (Supertramp) but one caller took it really far - apparently a mid 30s man really into Hanson 😄 hey you do you buddy and never hide what ya like 😅
 
Nirvana killed metal but then Kurt killed himself and rock hasn't been the same since then. It's a shame too because 'classic rock' now sells the same albums over and over and over every year and encompasses a zillion old styles from alt and prog to acid but not much new is being added. The market is there for a rock n'roll band if anyone has the talent and gumption. In fact, it's starving for new content.

Crazy but true. Rock isn't really a genre at this time. You have indie...jam...prog stuff...mixes like Tame Impala...but not much I'd consider rock...

The biggest new(ish) group I can think of is King Gizzard and even they are allll over the map.

Some friends were discussing this months ago and we kept laughing at one suggestion it might still be Foo Fighters. After a long discussion of very few answers, we decided to google it...and yes the Ranker poll had at #1...Foo Fighters...a band from the 90s. There's truly no modern "rock n roll" as a popular music form.

I hope none if y'all drive around with skeletons in passenger seat, hanging out a window, or any some such stupid Halloween decoration in your car.

I think of KISS as more of a 70's band than an 80's band, particularly if you're referencing their imagery (makeup shtick).
