As a big hard rock fan I might not know the music industry as some, but Ted Nugent is not as big as the artists I have mentioned above IMHO. Also, the 2 headlining bands are also more succesfull in the music industry, both having had nr.1 albums in the albums chart and nr.1 singles in the singles chart. REO Speedwagon had a record that had 9 times platinum.
You might like Nugent a lot and I am not going to pretend he is a zero, but when push comes to shove, the music bands I named are bigger in the music industry than Ted Nugent.
