Relative to the production forums....
1 Record Sale = 10 Digital Download Sale = 100 Illegal download = 1000 post cout dsf = 10000 youtube comment = 20000 soundcloud comments = 10000 facebook friends =1,000,000 myspace biggups
my math is off but 1 million myspace biggups is = 1 record sale

The ability to take an emotional experience and express it through sound, originality and uniqueness come kinda secondary to that for me. If what you're trying to express isn't a unique event, memory or feeling to you then I don't think it matters how original your sounds are because you're just voicing a great big nothing and the strength of your production tech becomes redundant as it's not actually saying anything...
I guess what I'm saying, to use a metaphor, is that I'd rather paint a good picture in an unoriginal way than an original picture with no content or point.
If you can express something AND be original in how you do it that'd probably be what makes you great.

look at skream though. the least consistent producer i can think of. but because of his good tracks i would rate his as a great producer.

I think this past year is the only year Skream has made bad tracks and even then thats only a couple.

In the truest sense of the term producer, a good producer is one who produces hit records. You could throw in there that they want to make "good" records, but that is subjective.

Well that is your opinion but the guy makes a lot of tunes, I don't think anyone is going to enjoy all of them. But he has a long list of influential tracks, that's the point and also another trait of a great producer... being influential.
