Influence is one of the only objective qualities we can take into account when judging music.
Furthermore, there are some bands who have demonstrably had a huge influence, for example the Velvet Underground. Should we make it a rule that anyone who downplays the importance of these influential bands is immediately disregarded, because it can be factually shown that they know nothing about music history? Also, what other bands should be included in this revered echelon?
Note that I'm not saying the music of these bands can never be criticized. I'm just saying that the influence of these bands literally cannot be denied, and anyone who tries to do so should have their opinion immediately disregarded because of their demonstrated lack of knowledge of music history.

Frogposting is one of the only objective qualities we can take into account when judging /mu/ posters.
furthermore, there are some posters who have been shitposting with frogs and no decent content for a long time. Should we make it a rule that anyone who downplays the importance of these non-music image thread starters are immediately disregarded, because it can be factually shown that they are shit at posting about music? Also, what other shitposters should be included in this revered echelon?
Note that I'm not saying the content of these threads can never be criticized. I'm just saying that the shitposting of these retards literally cannot be denied, and anyone who tries to do so should have their opinion immediately disregarded because of their demonstrated lack of knowledge of music related reaction images.

Influence is objective indeed, but it has no bearing in the music's actual quality, nor it should be taken into account when criticizing a musical piece.
Influence is just an indirect measure of popularity.
