I get why the hipsters say that bj shouldnt be chosen,(of course i dont agree...), they simply arent a band like coldplay-u2 or bruce, examples where they are both fan and critics favorite...
When was springsteens last radio hit?(maybe radio nowhere...) when was u2s (2005 with vertigo cause of the apple promo...)? When the stones had a hit? when metallica had a succesfull single? many of the guys that complain in the various forums use this as an example...despite their artistic input, which is dedatable BJ have been consistent, serious and delivered at many many live shows and i am not all about the statistics but the numbers speak for themselves, they have a status few bands enjoy
