I don't think churning out huge amounts of content in a short period of time is really an indicator of quality... in fact it's one of the main reasons I don't think they're as great as people say. YES they do have great songs, but they have a lot of "filler" as well. Huge amount of music but most of it is forgettable ... some of it truly great. Like most pop artists these days to be honest. That's why I think it's a fairly apt comparison... Amongst their other influences, The Beatles were really the first massive "Pop band". Mostly releasing filler pop, and then there are a few tracks where you stop and say "oh wow this is stand-out".
