You're not seriously going to use the "they were popular so they must be good" argument
Not in a subthread which started with Oasis?

Not even in the same league
AC-DC have sold more than double the albums Oasis ever will.

Many people have bought Bowie albums
Doesn't mean they are any good, just that people are fucking stupid

I presume people buy things because they like them
not because they are necessarily good. No accounting for popularity. However to call AC-DC shite means all your opinions on anything ever are invalid. Even if I agree.

Opinions are like arseholes
I personally cannot stand them. Each to their own innit

Mind you, so has Elton John.
And probably a load of horrendous country and western acts we've never even heard of...

Oasis aren't in the same league as them either
Oasis raped my dog

Oasis are the worst band of all time
Not just for the staggeringly poor music they produced themselves, but for the massively detrimental effect they had on British musical output.

Yes, whilst listening to Oasis.
*Slide away*

Agreed
But it all falls under the same bracket. Popularity is no indication of quality. You'll notice Monty didn't cite this argument, because he knows Dark Side of the Moon shifted a few units too.

AC-DC are still fucking ace though
LEAVE AC-DC ALONE! And anyway I haven't made a gay joke OR a hair joke towards you for ages, don't make me start!

Good point
I'm not retracting it but I'll drop it now
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 27 Jun 2011, 11:04, Reply)

High sales usually indicate an absence of quality rather than the other way round.

Except for Back in Black

( Peej, Mon 27 Jun 2011, 11:06, Reply)

It's an anomaly.
But then you think about the sales Led Zeppelin and The Who have had - every now and then the populace 'gets' someone decent...
