by your logic, britney spears is a far better musician than sonic youth if your criteria is record selling.
why is merzbow the best selling noise artist? he has been doing it for twice as long as pretty much anyone active in the scene, tours like crazy, has a very defined and engaged self image, has been marketed to arty types, metalheads, goth/industrial fans, indie kids and punks the world over.
you can't compare someone who has been doing this since like the mid-70's with bands that started in the mid-90's or the 00's even.
is there a criteria to know if some noise music is better than other noise music? yes, it's whether it sounds good to people or not.
