I have no issues with it. There are American hard rock bands more musically rewarding than Kiss - BÖC and even Grand Funk Railroad spring to mind -, but Stanley-Simmons Inc. are an American institution and deserve to be in the RRHoF for merely that. Plus for inventing rock merchandising as we know it today. They (plus Bob Ezrin) have also written the best song that starts with a car crash (The Shangrilas' Leader of the Pack only ended with one and, hey, it was only a motorcycle!).
Then again ... would you want to join a club where one of the jury members had the nerve to last year say about an here to be unnamed English band dear to my heart "they are a one-hit-wonder, they do not deserve to be in the RRHoF"? This about a band with album sales in excess of 100 million and whose alleged "wonder-hit" wasn't even initially released as a single, but only after American radio guys clamored for it (and then only in the US of A).
