I agree. The Terry Kath Chicago not wussy. Note from Jimi Hendrix who knows something about guitar before he died about Kath:

Jimi Hendrix was quoted as saying that he thought Terry Kath played guitar better than he did. It was later on reported that Jimi Hendrix also called Terry Kath the “Best Guitarist in the Universe.”
 
Limp Bizkit
Linkin Park (just the name Chester Bennington as lead singer is all you need to hear to be wuss)
Poison
Stryper
Bay City Rollers

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Boston? They had sharts with more talent that any of you fuckers!
Chicago? I think you mean Peter Cetera, they were a very talented band aside from Cetera's whiny shit.
Journey? If you didn't at least pretend to like Journey you remained a virgin!
KISS? Fuck off, growing up in the 70's KISS was fucking awesome, it's about the live show!
Styx? If you were 12 when Paradise Theater came out you would have liked it!


@fordman84 nailed it in post #2 I would add The Beach Boys, Dave Mathews & Matchbox 20

The first couple of Journey albums were amazing. To be honest, things did go more the way of the wuss once Steve Perry got involved.

Boston were all first class players. Tom Scholz is a musical genius in terms of production; he's also one hell of a Hammond B3 organ player as well. Foreplay displays Tom's amazing chops. To be fair, I don't think anyone actually called Boston a wuss band.

Chicago were also incredibly talented jazz/rockers. I agree that If You Leave Me Now should go down in the annals of wuss, but pretty much everything they did prior to 1974 was top of the table good.

Although Styx had some great albums in the 70's, I tend to agree that by the 80's, their feet were firmly planted in a field of wuss. I would say that calling them out for wussage, pre-1980 is just wrong, though.

Personally, I wouldn't call Kiss wussy. Cheesy at times perhaps, but not wussy. Like you said though, it was one of the greatest shows in rock at that time.
