Outkast: 57% as good as people say.
The Neptunes: As good as people say, but only 30% of the time.
N*E*R*D*: 26% as good as people say.
Pulp: A solid 7 out of 10. No higher, please.
The Clash: 80% as good as people say, but only 9% of the time. The other 91% they spend being 25% as good as you want them to be.
The Velvet Underground: About half as good as you persuade yourself they are.
Bruce Springsteen: Songs get 2% better with each listen.
Blur: Too trivial to make calculating percentages worthwhile.
Oasis: Made three good albums. Unfortunately the third is split over Be Here Now, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and Heathen Chemistry.
Coldplay: Quite good, if you like that sort of thing.
Girls Aloud: (Whisper it) Not actually very good. A group liked by music snobs (e.g. Miranda Sawyer) trying to show that they're not music snobs.
