2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

Kiss
Eligible since 1999, the glam-rock foursome is finally up for nomination. For many years at the height of their fame, band members Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Ace Frehley, from left, along with drummer Peter Criss, never appeared in public without their makeup, while churning out hits like "Rock and Roll All Nite" and "Beth." With 24 gold albums, Kiss can claim more than 80 million albums sold worldwide.
