Kiss had some good, catchy songs but Queen had some unbelivable songs that will be remembered in years to come.

Bohemian Rapsody, being Queens best song easily, is one of the greatest songs of all time and it is much better than Kiss's best.

On a slightly unrelated matter, who here thinks that We Will Rock You (the song, not the musical) is extremly overrated. I don't think it is a great song at all. Stone Cold Crazy is a much better Queen song and their best 'heavy' song(I am well aware that Queen aren't heavy at all but it is heavy for their standards)

I was a massive Kiss fan as a kid, had all of the records, posters etc but unfortunatly once the make up came off, so did the magic.

Didn't mind some of the stuff they released in the 80's but once again when the make up came on again, all of a sudden i was interested.

Went to see them live on their so called final tour at Rod Laver which was great although it didn't quite have the same magic as Peter Criss was absent and rumour has it that Ace's hands were so bad that they had a stand in muso backstage playing all of Ace's chords whilst Ace was on stage, and their symphony tour didn't quite do it for me.

Also heard not long ago that their first Live album "Alive!" was tampered with to clean up the sound such as taking out live bits with re-recorded bit's over the top. Extra crowd noise apparently was also added in to the final mix. Oh well, sounds good anyway. :D

As for Queen, they were ok but Kiss for me.

My fave Queen tunes would be Radio Ga Ga, Hammer To Fall, Bohemian, One Vision, A Kind Of Magic.
