The PeekScores of Kiss
Well, back in December, the self-appointed arbiters of historical significance announced that they’d deigned to bestow the dubious distinction of Rock Hall induction upon Paul, Gene, Ace, Peter, and whomever else, after all, and this upcoming April will find Kiss joining the Hall’s list of deserving and profoundly questionable honorees.
Trending buzz has been whipped up surrounding all of this business this weekend, as it seems that squabbling among the always contentious extended Kiss family has found them altogether canceling the performance which had been scheduled for the ceremony.
The whole drama can be caught up on by reading this fairly comprehensive Huff Po piece here.
Anyway, to commemorate the induction, and to ride the coattails of the current buzz, we’ve created a Kiss-centric PeekScore list below; measuring the online prominence, impact, influence, and activity, of each of the 10 individuals who have been, at one time or another, a member of the group.
