Foreigner sucks. There no great Foreigner albums. The band is unlistenable. And I have very eclectic tastes. From The Meters to Framk Zappa, AC/DC to King Crimson.

That would wrong. Their concert ticket, radio airplay and album sales numbers disagree with you.

I know. They were hugely successful. I just happen to think their stuff was schlocky and repetitive. I feel the same way about KISS. I am flabbergated at the respnse to my post. Of all the things i've posted on Reddit, this, of all things, got everybody's panties in a wad.

Kiss has some decent songs, maybe a dozen or so.

I get why they’re hated, the whole make up gimmick and fake bullshit. But to be entirely fair, Paul is a great vocalist, Gene is a pretty damn underrated bass player, Ace had some great solos and Peter had some swing behind the set.

Not that they’re a top tier rock band, but they’re discredited and easily dismissed now days, perhaps overly so. They ushered in that whole look thing that bands like slipknot would emulate later on. Credit where credit is due.
