I feel like the answer for any particular genre/time period is a band/artist on the edge of popularity/relevance after whom other artists below them are unknown/mediocre/terrible. The only problem with that is I feel like it might end up being a one-hit wonder list, which is not the intent.

QS's comment about Foreigner raises another question. Foreigner was hugely successful and nowhere near the midpoint. But QS seems to be judging this solely from a "do they suck?" viewpoint. I think popularity/name recognition has to play a role here, but critical acclaim (or lack thereof) can be a part as well.

When I saw QS's post, my first thought was he was setting up a standard by which he could judge Billy Joel as below the midpoint...
