Monkeys with Typewriters Ranked

Toby Hales and Donal Leddy Season 1 Episode 5

This week, Toby and Donal address the mathematical concept known as the Infinite Monkey Theorem, and apply it to Rock.
The theory being: if you give enough monkeys enough typewriters and enough time, sooner or later they will produce Shakespeare.

So who are the monkeys of the Rock world who have managed, after an infinite number of tries, to produce a nugget of Gold? Who are the terrible artists with back catalogues of no merit whatsoever, who have nevertheless achieved greatness just once for 3 minutes and 30 seconds? There are some surprises, some people you wish you had never heard of, some Big Beasts, and... The Osmonds!
