Band Evolution
Searched for this but didnt find anything, hope its not been done yet.
Just a quick topic to discuss the evolution of your favourite (or not) bands through the ages. Being only 24 (Only haha) I've seen a few bands evolve into completely different style through thier career.
I'll kick off with one. The Offspring: Spiral into complete crap...
Dont get me wrong, I used to love Offspring and still enjoy some of their earlier tracks. But they have completely sold out, without the slightest hint of a doubt.
Their first album, self titled, as much as it was Dead Kennedys in a cocked hat, I really enjoyed it! Ignition; good album with a bit more polish to it than the first. Smash was definative, and the end point of them as far as i'm concerned. Ixnay on the Hombre tried to hold onto to some kind of feeling, but essentially started the road to selling out.
Americana wasn't a terrible album, but it was horribly commercialised. Just after that I read an interview with the band where they complained about the newer teeny bop fans they had attracted, and how they felt that they weren't doing anything new.
I thought, "Hey, a ray of hope"..
Then conspiracy of one popped and I stopped listening. how you go from songs like smash, Jennifer Lost the War, Blackball etc to Worst hangerover ever, and something about your girl friend cheating on you is beyond me. All about money I suppose..

I think The Beatles, of all bands over time, was the most evolved of all bands in music history. It may be just changing with the times, but their look and sound could be recognized with each passing generation.
Led Zeppelin would be my example of a band who's evolution was always ahead of their time.

Radiohead.
Take worldly leaps with each album. Not just changing a bit, actually come out like a different band each time, but with the same trademark sound, but different.

How does everyone consider the Chilis new direction?
Did they sell out, or just mature?

Offspring were good, awful now. Chilis have just matured.
Radiohead have definitely had the most striking evolution.

Most bands descend into utter crapness when they use up all their talent, IMO Led Zep suck after Led Zep 4, advances in production hurt most bands from the 60's -70's who kept going, they took advantage of what they thought was great technology cutting edge but they just ended up sounding cack, i cant think of one band that has always made good and relevant music throughout there career , most should give up if they had an ounce of artistic integrity, but theres too much ego there for that to happen. I refer to the beatles, the stones, bob dylan,led zep, the who, neil young, in fact any band that ever was and will be, like they only have so many good songs in them and a limited amount of talent and creativity.
Only the dead retain credibility. Because they cant make any mistakes, they cant get old and look shit, they cant record any bad songs or sell out.

Beatles sounded better at the end of their career than in the beginning.
Radiohead's later work is also better than their earlier work form the album's I've heard.
