You (and the parent comment) seem to have conflated "hits" and "good songs." which some of us would violently disagree with. Anyway I can think of dozens of bands with more than 15 good songs (and often they have done 2-3 albums/year for more than one year). I don't want to turn this into a music discussion, so I'll just pick one band I love - The Jam, who actually had hits (in the UK) - 18 of them between 1977 and 1982 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jam). There's plenty more, which I'm sure others can contribute.
