if more popular equals better, I submit the Kardassians as evidence it doesn't.
I'll never understand why or how they became popular. Maybe I'm too old to "get it".

majority has shit taste, a while back some kid at work was trying to convince me Queen was better than Bowie based on record sales. Not a chance.

Slightly off topic, but I was looking at values of other bands and saw that Keith Richards has a higher net worth ($240 mil) than Mick Jagger ($200 mil).
I'd wager that Jagger has invested more time and energy in disguising his asset from the taxman.

You likely have bingo here.

Celebrity Net Worth.com lists them both at $500 million. Sir Paul is listed at $1.2 billion. Ringo is $350 million. Jay-Z tops Macca with a whopping $1.3 billion. Beating them all (as far as I can tell) is Kanye, who has a net worth of $6.6 billion.

Didn't realize there was a clock ticking down, so I had to hurry up a bit at the end. Otherwise, easy-peasy.

The Toy box set has come out and even though I've had the album for like 20 years there are some major revelations. The Unplugged and Slightly Electric disc is a joy to listen to. Just when you thought you've heard it all something like this pops up. Wow!
