It's inaccurate, because there's not rational basis for popularity impacting music taste, yet it's obvious that a lot of people do listen to music for the sake of popularity. Because of this, your argument is going to ring true to more people than if you explained in detail why "Master Of Puppets" is better than "Louie Louie".
I don't know if you are being ironic or not. Louie Louie is definitely better than Master of Puppets.
