Good bad art
I remember reading a biographical sketch of the light verse poet Ogden Nash ("The one-L Lama, he's a priest / The two-L llama, he's a beast / And I would bet a silk pyjama / There isn't any three-L lllama"), in which he commented how early in his writing life he realized he had enough talent to be either a bad good poet or a good bad poet; he chose the latter, and I'd say was (as are we) the better for it.

Literature | Why Orwell liked “good bad” art, according to a review of his collected essays: Such works “had the advantage of propagandizing for humble and obvious ideas rather than dangerous, overambitious ones. Good bad books are written by ‘natural novelists … who seem to attain sincerity partly because they are not inhibited by good taste.’ ” [Pop Matters]
