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.

Have to agree with those who mentioned the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Def Leppard, Boston, and Bon Jovi.

I can't believe no one mentioned Robert Palmer. He seems to be the definition of this list.

I'll also add:
Judas Priest
Scorpions
Devo
REO Speedwagon
Lenny Kravitz
Journey
Ricky Martin
Ted Nugent
Jefferson Airplane
Spin Doctors
Phish
Toto
Steve Winwood

I'd put Elton John on there in a second as he's about as bad as it gets for me, but even I have to admit he has some talent.
