I think so long as most people can at least say they have heard of the band & acknowledge that there is a fan base, they can be considered big. I may not care for Invasion, but I know they do have fans & would say that they are a big band. I would question a band whose only fans are at "home."

Good to know! I always thought it was anything above the sequence bands (like Imij & co) or bands with live drums and horns like (Trafik). Guess I learned something new

I totally agree with u miss lady! It doh take a genius to make a distinction between a bad band and a real good band.
