Kiss vs the Dolls
Hit me with your best shot.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Kiss vs the Dolls
I appreciate that the strategy here is to split what we'll call the "sane vote" between two options (presuming "Black Diamond" refers to the infinitely superior Replacements version), but I'm moderately confident that even in this scenario Kiss is gonna end up third.

I mean, you know it's bad when I am going to vote against the band that has more Jews in it.
Got a Rake? Sure!

NY Dolls. Obviously.
Re: Kiss vs the Dolls
Hello,
I'm abstaining. They each have their place. KISS can be fun to watch and appreciate their excesses; quite a good laugh in an over the top/Spinal Tap way (plus I like fireworks) - the Dolls destroy and embody rock and roll during their high (no pun intended, Johnny) points. I like listening to them both - depending on my mood - seldom during the same evening/workout.

Re: Kiss vs the Dolls
New York Dolls > Replacements > KISS
The Replacements' Black Diamond is probably better than KISS's best song. Likewise, anything the early Dolls ever did especially Frankenstein is better than KISS and the Mats on a bad night. Maybe even some of the newer Dolls stuff, like You Don't Have to Cry off the latest album which I really love.
So:
Dolls
The Replacements - Black Diamond
KISS

Re: Kiss vs the Dolls
The race for second place is the most interesting thing about this poll.

I think IMCT should have a FAQ and every answer to any question should be a link to this poll.Inder wrote:I'm centimeters away from sticky-ing this thread...

Re: Kiss vs the Dolls
I only know a little from both bands and both are alright.I choose Black Diamond.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
