Depends on your taste. They don't even make my top five from that era.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Define "hottest". If the metric involves lunch box sales, yes, KISS was most likely the hottest band in the world. 
KISS takes a lot of flack for various reasons, but when I discovered them at about age 6, they were unbelievably cool! After being force-fed a steady diet of Hee Haw and the Bay City Rollers, I was quite excited to see 4 guys in monster outfits breathing fire, spitting blood, and blowing stuff up.

I'd image the sex pistols were pretty hot in 77-78.

Re: Was KISS the hottest band in the world? 77'/78'
I was 3/4 years old at the time, so missed the KISS phase.
I have to admit that I never was interested in them, and don't get the fascination that some have with them. Maybe a couple of songs that are pop-rocky and catchy, but nothing that sticks out as great music.

I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Is it safe to assume that this thread started because of a disagreement with someone else?
If so, you only need one word to shut them down: Eagles (they hadn't split yet).
Probably the single most talented group of musicians to ever play.
And while ZZ Top and AC/DC weren't as mainstream, still much better music than KISS. Hell, there are countless others.
