This argument is so tired. And often, it's just being contrary.

At some point you have to admit that commercial success means the artist is doing SOMETHING right. And it's not necessarily just marketing themselves.

You have to take it in a case-by-case basis. Garth Brooks puts out good stuff. Enough good stuff to merit being in the conversation.
