It's like a Catch-22 most artist/bands are popular because of their popularity, because they are more easily accessible through mass media not because of creativity. Why should anyone worry about what most people think out there? AN opinion isn't going to make something sound better or worse.
The Beatles and the Stones paths crossed several times throughout their history and they were "close" rivals both from perspective knowing each other and creative output.
