2) (I admit that it gets tricky here) Name a single piece of criteria that you mentioned in part one that is not subject-dependent. For example, if one of your criteria is "entertaining" then it doesn't qualify because things are only entertaining insofar as they entertain a given subject; things can't be intrinsically entertaining because that makes no fucking sense. As another example, you might say it is emotionally effective in part one, but it should he quite a bit obvious why that doesn't qualify for part two (something intrinsically effecting emotions? What?).
It seems the only answer that fulfills criteria for both 1 and 2 is ticket/album sales because they can be tracked... In that case, Coldplay and Nickelback both rank very high among current bands.
My ears are easy to please though, I like both bands and U2 and Soundgarden and most all other bands posted ITT
