They are a circus act and clown show rolled up in one.

Hmm, I'd actually argue that KISS are dismissed by most people as a total joke when they made (possibly) 3 or 4 legit albums in the mid 70s that could stand up to the national average IF you don't point out that it's that clown-looking band behind the music. I'm just saying they weren't an overrated mess of a joke band until after 1976.  The late 70s stuff, the 80s crap, and the fact that there are still pulling the nostalgia stuff to this day are all jokes, though.

Bottom line:  KISS seems to be universally lauded as a 100% crap band, when they're more like 87% crap.

Be the Backstreet Boys of their era?

They played horribly dull pop songs reviled by old people as "greatness" 

After they started taking drugs and split up, they got much better.

The Beatles were better after they split up?  Oy, I love me some Beatles solo stuff but what did they do after that stood up to what they did as a group?  Ringo's disco album?  Paul's nicely sappy stuff?  John's wife screaming into a microphone?  George making some decent stuff?
