Band with highest success/talent ratio?


Which bands do readers thinks have the highest success to quality ratio? In other words, which bands have been very successful yet deserve little success since their music is terrible?
I'll stir the pot right away with my #1 choice: Kiss. They were around for a while, made millions, dressed up in makeup because no one would've listened to them otherhwise, and maybe had one good song (but probably not).
My next choices would be Aerosmith and Dream Theater, although I'm not sure the latter were very successful. I hope not.

I'll add John Bon Jovi where mentioned ratio approaches infinity with exception of actually having a talent to blast terrible music and have huge success.
Initially Drum Theater had vice-versa, but their talent on the scale from 0 to 100 is far away from zero. Check out Liquid Tension Experiment with members of DT and UK. Same I could say about Joe Satriani who eventually became popular artist.
Achilles,
The denominator of Beatles is finite. It started growing as their ages correspondedly. Their latest albums are substantially better than their debut. The nominator started going the other way trying to stand against Rolling Stones.
I recalled another winner/loser hero PAUL SIMON!
Oh god as Tbromgard mentioned
Too many to pick...
hey folks we're really looking for con-ten-ders on the scale from 1 to 10.
They're John Bon Jovi and Paul Simon. I'll give 'em 10/small fraction of one.
