I think most bands are a little gimmicky.

i don't think half the bands listed in this thread are gimmicky. if a band has a gimmick, you should be able to use this sentence "_____, known for their ________" and the second blank should not refer to their music, unless it's something like "known for their bossanova take on popular music" (i.e. nouvelle vague), or something like that. KISS (as mentioned before) = gimmick. Zeppelin? puh-leaze. GWAR=gimmick. I don't know that I even consider Marilyn Manson a gimmick band, though the horror show is quite gimmicky. i don't know anything about the scissors sisters, so i read their wikipedia - i'm guessing their gayness is the gimmick?
and sucking is not a gimmick.
