Hmmm. The verdict is still out on my guys Depeche Mode. They may have evolved with age but their still cool.

.

The latest issue of SPIN (Amy Winehouse cover) has some good examples:

Dr. Dre went from this:


(Far left with the World Class Wrecking Cru)

to this:




And Vanilla Ice went from this:



to this:

Oh man, I used to love Tim & Magoo
The Luv 2 Luv Ya remix was my jam, but now I'm not really digging
Timbalands solo work.

He should stay behind the scenes

Like a record, baby. Right round round round.

I remember him in NWA rapping about how smoking weed gave you brain damage

NDRU said:

After NWA broke up, Eazy-E used to love to pull out that old pic of Dre wearing makeup in the World Class Wrecking Cru.

sextonseven said:

He looks a little like Captain Eo in that pic

MsLegs said:

How so?

Christian Death

They began as the best death rock band in the U.S. fronted by the late Rozz Williams...



... and are now a terrible quasi-metal thing led by Valor (not an original member):

My Bloody Valentine's first album sounded like a Cramps album, from then on they went in an entirely different direction.

Exactly. I mean, they're not even together anymore. So maybe they've changed when they went their seperate ways, but as Talking Heads they were pretty distinct.

NWF said:

Review their Catalogue before going pop, pre-breakup. Like Blondie, they started at CBBG's. Case Closed.

this is very sad ..

Prince: 1978-1984
Prince: 1985-Present

1985 was a huge change from the Prince we had grown up with.

Rod Stewart. In the mid to late 1980s, he changed completely for the worst all the way around.

AnckSuNamun said:

That's the pic I was looking for.

sextonseven said:

That shirt - excuse me, blouse - looks like it's made from the white meshy stuff they put around papayas and other soft fruits in the grocery store.

MsLegs said:

I have their catalogue, and I don't notice any big shift in their sound.

Harlepolis said:

I know, right. I mean what kind of self respecting gangster gives in to that natural phenomenon known as maturation? He should have been keepin' it real until he was in prison or dead.

And Prince...well, ok...I got nothing. Prince did lose it somewhere.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I do too, and I don't notice it either.
