I rarely ever listen to her first three albums.The music she does now is so much more interesting and substantial.She's one of the few 80s artists whose music has actually gotten better in the 90s and beyond. | |

What about Depeche Mode? Their current CD is pretty good. See the man with the blue guitar, maybe one day he`ll be a star... |

It's really weird how it's all turned around. She really is expansive in the kind of work she's done over the years. It's hard to not notice. | |

Seeing as I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan, I must give props to Bob.
He won a grammy in 1997 for Album of the Year. He won an Oscar for best orinigal song. He has been nominated for book awards AND he has an extremely loyal fan base who rally each year for him to win a Nobel in literature. I'm sure one day he will. He tours relentlessly and releases new music every few years and does a little acting too. I would say that Bob has not dropped off in the least!! | |

The Rolling Stones - even though some of the recent albums were kinda hit or miss , the latest one "A Bigger Bang" was excellent. And they always kick-ass live #SOCIETYDEFINESU | |

U2--never really dropped off for me
Aerosmith--not quite as great, but still damn good Tom Petty--one bad album in 20+ years--not too shabby David Bowie--loved Hours, only liked the last 2 albums but he's till great in concert Prince--I think he's on his way back How 'bout dropped off the most?: Elvis Costello--have all his cds but I saw him live a couple of years ago--awful show Rolling Stones--liked the beg. of their new album, that's the best I can say R.E.M.--they're just really boring now INXS--a couple good songs doesn't make an album Oasis--hard to remember that their first 2 cds(and all of their bsides from that time) were brilliant Radiohead--I know I'm gonna get hell for this...I love their first 3 cds but I haven't been able to make it through an entire album since then. Strictly for music critics. | |
