"Yes, for the music industry(driven by money) Justin Timberlake's albums are more important. Not everyone likes them, but since a greater no of people do, they become more important.Is there any other way to look at it?"

Yes because as works of art rather than as works of commercial value, Waits work is much more important. He has won many awards over the years that Timberlake never will and Waits' audience is a much more sophisticated audience than the teeny-bopper crowd that makes up the majority of Timberlake's fans, and they would laugh in your face if you were to imply that Justin Timberlake is in any way artistically superior to Tom Waits.

 

And why are you assuming importance and artistic superiority to be the same thing?As far as entertainment business goes, the piece of work which reaches more people is more important than the piece of work aimed at a select few. As long as the "teeny boppers" have the money to buy albums, they automatically become as important for the sustainance of the music industry as the more sophisticated audience.
