Only good thing about that KISS spider thing was when it would get stuck and they’d be standing up there looking like schmucks.

The cheesiest prop ever could be Redbone's giant red styrofoam red bone that was hung from a downstage lighing truss.
I reckon all songs are folk songs. I ain't never heard no horses singing any.

Re: All time greatest stage props
Whether or not it's considered a stage "prop", I always loved the risers on both sides of the stage at Van Halen shows in the 80s and early 90s. It allowed a great view for folks on the first level on the sides of the stage. Because of those risers we ran for those seats every time at general admission shows. Other bands in the late 80s began using the same risers (Motley and Poison come to mind).

Re: All time greatest stage props
As a former KISS fan, I liked the Revenge stage of Lady Liberty and, during Crazy Nights, the giant KISS logo.
In honesty, I still prefer a small venue and a simple backdrop. I don't attend a concert for special effects.

Not a "stage prop" per se, but during Rush's "Hold Your Fire" tour, they had three huge red inflatable balls suspended from the arena ceiling. The supports holding the red balls were green.
This became known as the "Hold Your Tomatoes" tour.
