Gene Simmons doesn't put much stock in lists such as Rolling Stone's "200 Greatest Singers of All Time" or UDiscoverMusic.com's "Best 108 Guitar Solos."
Cornered by TMZ about the Rolling Stone list, he says, "It's skewed. You have to consider who's popular and who's not... Look, [Rolling Stone co-founder and former owner] Jann Wenner and those guys, they sit in a backroom and they decide things... If you've got success, that's enough. Accolades and all that, you get that when you do a concert or when fans come up [to you]. That's the best thing. To be on a poll by a magazine by people in the backroom, I don't know how much that means."
For the record, Simmons and no other members of KISS made the "Greatest Singers" or "Best Guitar Solos" lists.
