I think most of what you listed qualifies. Out of your choices I'd probably go with Kiss because the ONLY song 99% of people know is "Rock N Roll All Night" yet everyone knows who Kiss is and it's ALL because of the show they put on and the merchandise, not the music.
I don't think Michael Jackson or Led Zepplin really belong on the list. Possibly the Beach Boys and Elvis as well.
Most overrated band/artist of all time?
