i think that it is ridicolous that it says x times better instead of more popular.

Steve Hackett is 13% better than Genesis! Who could have guessed?

Blue Öyster Cult is 3 times better than Hawkwind (one of the few I think is pretty accurate)
Scored only 23 points and was finished off by Camel vs Gentle Giant.  Would have never guessed that: "Camel is 2 times better than Gentle Giant"

I got a 54.7, which is respectable, but I'm beaten by some others because my embarassingly low playcount makes my Paper Chase, At the Drive In, and Mars Volta plays disproportionately high.
 
 
Only 34.4% which doesn't bother me, it's not a competition

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not my beloved Hawkwind! BOC are not even close! Who works these things out just becasue BOC are so mainstream does not mean they are better than iconic legends Hawkwind.

It's all just numbers, and it is indeed based on how popular different bands are. The clue's in the title, really. And as for the "better" wording, I thought it was obviously tongue-in-cheek but it seems to be genuinely angering some people. Confused

I personally think Genesis hit their real quality streak once they released 'Invisible Touch'

Some of us are still waiting for Genesis to hit their quality streak *smiley face* (it is no longer safe to go to the emoticon screen with that awful, seizure inducing headbanger in there)
