I don't think the percentage of songs you like/total songs the artist produced is necessarily the most important thing. There's also how much of those few particular songs you actually do like are really that awesome for you, and how much you'd listen to them compared to other artists you like. We should also consider the ability of those songs you like to resist overplaying and time (still be enjoyable after years).

I consider myself a Kylie fan (not a hardcore, or die-hard fan, but I look forward for her releases and I enjoy her work), even though, I think most of her albums have a lot of fillers, and I haven't even listened to close half her discography, but the songs I love from her, I really do love them VERY MUCH, and even will listen to some of them much more than certain songs from certain artists I enjoy most of their discographies entirely.

Another example: I LOOOOOOOOOOOVe hitomi very much. i'm a huge fan of her. I don't really care for her TK albums (which are over 4-5 albums) + I don't care that much for her LOVE CONCENT album (I like over 4-5 songs on it) and TRAVELER album (also over 4-5 songs I like), leaving barely 3 albums I really love to death (thermo plastic, huma rhythm and LOVE LIFE). However, even though it looks rather drastic, there are sooo many songs I love from her, and the ones I love, I love them sooo much, that I'm not afraid to consider myself a fan of her, and a good one. If i'd put the ammount of songs I like/I dislike or don't care, the ones I dislike or don't care would probably win, but it doesn't matter, because the quality of those I like outweighs a simple number of tracks.
