Don't bring popularity into it. If you use popularity as a criterion for how good something is then you have to admit that Level 42 are officially better than Megadeth and Slayer combined. They are, but I doubt you'll agree.

Won't cricket be almost as watched as the FIFA World Cup given the popularity of the sport in Asia? If it's not, then it probably will be at some point in the future. Besides, the FIFA World Cup Final 2006 was fucking gant. I felt like a prick for having watched that. Well, asides from the initial joy of seeing what Zidane did...

if you'd have said a pr0g band instead of level 42 i'd have agreed

i know popularity isn't a criterion but the opinion of 1/6th of the worlds population is pretty important
