again, i'm glad TTD has fans and he makes music they like. that's a win for all involved.

but he ain't more successful b/c he doesn't make hit music. which is perfectly fine. an act doesn't need to make hits to be good or even great.

TTD's greatness is a separate question. and i've said below i don't think he's 1 of the greats.

if we're talking tiers again, i'd say he's near the top of the 3rd tier. or the bottom of the 2nd tier.
