Google Hits: "Better than X"

the Beatles: 866,000
the Kinks: 312,000
the Rolling Stones: 220,000
the White Stripes: 183,000
the Shaggs: 2,600
the Mighty Mighty Bosstones: 1,140


I'm not sure what this proves, since objectively speaking there are probably many more bands or things better than the Shaggs than there are those that are better than the Beatles. There must be some kind of over/under, like you have to be famous enough for people to use you in a sentence that states that something is better than you.
