> is importance not governed by how many people listen to their albums? honestly i'd tell you to read the sticky and stop posting for 2 years at least but you're clearly a retard among the retards so i'll explain it simply to you. often in music the popular and the influential don't overlap, the underground is often more influential than the platinum certified. some bands are able to associate popularity and influence, like sabbath, judas priest, metallica, iron maiden, megadeth, pantera, etc... but those are an exception. i mean the misfits were underground until metallica covered them in the late 90's yet they literally influenced the whole thrash metal and punk scenes since the late 70's.
