Top 10 ’90s Kiss Songs
Although Kiss only released three albums during the '90s, it was quite an eventful time for the group. At the start of the decade the group found themselves in a mirror version of the dilemma they faced in the early '80s. In 1982, after squandering nearly all of their career momentum with questionable trend-chasing albums, they released the masterful Creatures of the Night, which didn't get nearly the attention it deserved. Chastened but determined, Kiss took off their trademark facepaint and clawed their way back to platinum sales and sold-out arenas with a string of successful '80s albums.

30 of the Highest-Grossing Rock Tours Ever
There's a lot of money in the rock 'n' roll business, and much of it comes from touring. Especially when it comes to high-profile legacy acts performing in stadiums and arenas, the amount of dough a tour can bring in has the potential to enter the hundred millions. This is particularly important in an age where the sale of actual music — via CDs, vinyl and streaming services — isn't as lucrative as in previous decades. These days, it's touring and performing live that supplies artists with the most income.

Was the Snakmaster the Best Kitchen Invention of All Time?
