What’s better: a big song from a niche artist or a niche song from a big artist

I’ve been pondering about it. Niche as in relatively obscure, big as in a well-known.

You may say: The biggest songs from big artists can obscure their other hits, but how can a niche artist have a well-known song? They probably a one-hit wonder or the claim to fame really carries their name just that much.

Asking for a nerds music enjoyers perspective on the matter. Being known doesn’t really affect the quality of a song, but what sounds more appealing to you?
