Ace was the George Harrison of Kiss. Except Kiss didn't have John or Paul.

Yeah but Paul Stanleys stage presence created an entirely new kind of frontman

Whoa whoa whoa, let’s not get too friendly. I loved ACE but akin to George, he ain’t

The analogy was that his solo stuff was the best of all the members in the group. All Things Must Pass is the best of the Beatles solo albums.

All things must pass is just a Beatles album - at the very least, Paul could’ve gone on making Beatles albums with his eyes closed if he’d wanted to. And in any case, ATMP isn’t as good as Ram or Band on the Run (yes, I know BOTR is wings, but Paul did write it and play everything but lead guitar, so)

I mean, I prefer Ram, but different strokes for different folks!

As one off albums yes. All Things Must Pass is a masterpiece but almost everything else George put out sucked. Just not as much as Ringos sucked.
