So who do you think was the best rock band of the 70's?    Do you still listen to them today?

I was too young in the mid 70s to care, tho my mother was more an Aerosmith person so I don't appreciate KISS music much.
  And yea, I  still love to hear them. I don't own any of their albums personally but radio and downloads, etc, their songs still work if you want to rock.

My favorite albums from both bands released in 1975 when I was 19 Aerosmith's *Toys In The Attic* & *Alive* by Kiss. I had an awesome experience when I first listened to that Kiss album, but I love Aerosmith's style of Rock much more and still listen to Toys on a regular basis.  The guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford kick ass, they're so good at what they do. They play hard and loud, but it's clean. I've seen Kiss twice in concert and Aerosmith about 5 times and they both put on great shows, but Aerosmith are better musicians and Steve Tyler is one of the very best front men ever, if not the best IMO.

The only Kiss song I really liked was "Lick it Up" from 1983.  It was a popular Top 40 hit at the time in Canada, and I had it on a PolyStar cassette called "Rock Sizzzlers" that I listened to all the time

Lick It Up is on the soundtrack and used in the Mark Wahlberg movie Rock Star

I've never managed to get into Kiss. Aerosmith had some excellent songs in the 70s, average songs in the 80s and mediocre songs in the 90s. But they are still a pretty good band.

  Between the two, I'll go with KISS.  Course, I didn't know anything about Aerosmith in the seventies...

  KISS is some of the first music I remember listening to on a regular basis...

  Today, I own only two of the solo albums, Rock and Roll Over, Dynasty and Alive!...

 

I don't think either of these are the BEST band of the '70s, but I enjoy Aerosmith more.

I preferred Aerosmith, my brother was the Kiss fan.

When I was going out with my Husband I lent him all my Aerosmith 8-Tracks. They were stolen out
of his car. He told me he would replace them, that was 27 years ago, I'm still waiting.  >:(

Aerosmith, and yes I listen to them now.

  Aerosmith - Poor man's Rolling Stones...

Aerosmith.

Never was a big fan of either...and none are the best band of the 70s by a long shot. That title would go to Led Zeppelin, of course, followed closely by Pink Floyd, AC/DC and the Who.

I like both of these bands, and Kiss would be the more popular of the 2 commercially in the 70's.

I dont know who would be the best band of the seventies, but for rock I would think the Eagles would be up there.

Of the two, Aerosmith. But I like both though.

Aerosmith...Kiss gets on my nerves. 

I'm not really into either, but if I had to pick one it would definitely be Aerosmith...

Well I was a full fledged member of the KISS ARMY back in the mid to late 70s, But I have always liked both bands and still listen to both pretty regularly, I suppose if I had to choose I'd go with "The Hottest Band In The Land"!! KISS!!!!!

Definitely Aerosmith, they have more hits and have managed to stay in the groove longer, but I do love KISS, too. :-*

Of the two, Aerosmith. However, there were many cool ass bands in the 70s. So it's hard to really single them out.

I think that you can't really compare the two.  It's like apples to oranges ya know?  I dig Kiss, they were the precursor to the long haired butt-rockers of the 80's, but Aerosmith is just WOW amazing.  They just never stop rockin'! :D
