It's a ridiculous example of "good on paper, not in reality."

All of his albums are good or better, almost all the albums sold well – and the more recent ones like You Are the Quarry are superb. Oh, and he's great to see live solo.

How about almost any rock band reforming? A great idea on paper and almost always a terrible idea. Smashing Pumpkins?

(How about the Euro if you want a good example?)
