Mark has been a major influence on my songwriting. If you want, check it by clicking "MrAlvarda" down below. Songs like "Turn around", "Train of life" or "Corporate World" are definitely the closest to his style.
I didn't have any argument--you did. I simply showed you that you were talking in circles.
Anyway, I guess then that your "God" made you to talk the way you do? All that potty-mouthed stinking hot air you just blew my way; that's as immature a rant as I've ever seen. Go kiss your mother with that mouth.
No, those performers were shoved down the public's throat with elaborate marketing scams aimed mainly at teenagers. Unless you bought those records too!
If you weren't so busy thinking up belligerent replies, you would have recognized that. You got a fucking big mouth, huh?

eL350,
Suck a cock you low-IQ fucking lightweight.
You have the musical insight of Helen Keller.
Music sales have VERY LITTLE TO DO with talent, you shit-for-brains cunt-tard.
In the 80's, while bands like R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Pixies, and other bands were making actual groundbreaking music, the stuff that was selling was Milli Vanilli, C&C Music Factory, Madonna, and other shite.
Since morons like you dominate the world, bad music will always sell.
You got it ass-backwards, but that's what happens when you're busy thinking up new ways to be belligerent--on the net, even, which was good for a laugh. God, you guys huff-n-puff a lot of hot air!
No, I never bought any of the artists you mentioned, neither what you consider good or bad. All of it is pretty goofy listening and hardly groundbreaking.
So, what you're saying essentially is that groundbreaking music doesn't sell. Good one; you just blew your own argument to bits, loser.
He just said that good music sells, not that shit music doesn't. Some shit music does sell.
You seem to have launched a personal attack on the guy even though he was praising good music and there is absolutely no need for it. Doesn't seem really logical for somebody who is calling somebody elses IQ.
Anyway music is a matter of opinion not fact. What you like isn't categorically the best.
You are a cunstain whose family hopefully will slowly burn to death in a carfire on Christmas Eve.
"Good music sells"....REALLY?
These names won't mean anything to you since you know nothing about nor understand music, but The Pixies, Neu, Can, Sonic Youth, REM before about 1991, The Wipers, Squarepusher, Beta Band, Grizzly Bear, and on, and on, are all past and present examples of critically and peer-renowned acts, which barely sold enough to house the bands, cunt-tard.
You don't even know about my taste in music. You just jumped to conclusions and started giving me grief. Ye, you can do it online and get away with it, but speak to anybody like that in person and you will lose some of your teeth.
I do know of all the bands you named, though I i don't really like them that much. My personal favorites include Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Queen, Dire Straits and many other acts alike. All of which sold millions of albums. If you don't like them... I don't actually care.
You suck my dick. I hope your daughter gets raped and killed by a big crazy streetnigger.
And don't you dare threaten me. You're a weak little boy. If we fought in real life, it would end with you squealing like a pig as I rape your tight little asshole. FUCK YOU. You are my BITCH, and I will disrespect you WHEN and HOW i WANT TO...you sit there and take it you little pussy. You have no choice you low-IQ lightweight motherfucker. Your wife should wash her cunt better you dirtbag.
@MrMorganfarts Took you a year to think of THAT response. Clearly you are very bright. I do understand your frustration though, seeing as my comment got 8 likes. That must have been humiliating for you, but from my personal experience when you have made a fool of yourself, it's usually best to just stop there.

My favourite line is about how Dire Straits has sold more records than every punk band combined.
That'll show 'em! Real music sells!

EL135,
God made you tonedeaf and you're incapable of understanding music...you're a little leaguer playing in the big leagues.
Look up some clips of Oscar Peterson....look up some clips of John Martyn, or Miles Davis...and THEN tell me good music sells....
...all those musicians' sales, were DWARFED by shit like Backstreet Boys, ABBA, and other countless terd bands.
Your argument is a total FAIL.
Stick to what you know well; masturbating to kiddie porn and not getting laid.
