I absolutely concur with the take on KISS. I suspect that even now, most "critics" would just love to dismiss KISS ... but feel they cannot just because of their longevity. I dunno about U2 - I mean, they were simple an alternative band from Ireland for awhile - but they VERY quickly were able to sway the press onto their side, if you will. And the media may not have always respected the Beatles, but lets face it, the Beatles were the first true recipients of a world media's attention. Deservedly so, of course.

Early on, The Beatles were passed off as a fad. U2 didn't get the best reviews initially. The critics hated KISS for years.
