Buoyed by a wave of Kiss nostalgia in the 1990s, the band announced a reunion of the original

lineup in 1996. The resulting KissAlive/Worldwide Tour was the top-grossing act of 1996 and 1997.
Criss and Frehley have both since left the band again and have been replaced by Eric
Singer and Tommy Thayer, respectively. Kiss has been named in many "Top" lists. These include
Number 10 on VH1's '100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock',[5] 9th on 'The Greatest Metal Bands' list by
MTV,[6] number one on Hit Paraders's "Top 100 Live Bands",[7] 56th on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists Of
All Time",[8] and 26th on Gibson's "50 Greatest American Rock Bands".[9] On April 10, 2014, Kiss was
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[10]
