The only band that really changed (and didn't come back) is RUSH. From '73 to '80
they were primarily heavy rock. From '81 till now it's all progressive with synths etc. | |

Well, I think that Ryan more or less abandoned country eversince Whiskeytown split up. You have a point but Ryan was never completely 'country'...with Whiskeytown the music was very Gram Parsons-inspired country-rock... HEARTBREAKER was pretty similar to Whiskeytowon's Parson-style country-rock(he even had Emmylou Harris back him up on a track!)...GOLD had more rock elements but kept the GP style in tact...and DEMOLITION evolved even more (well...if you ask me..it was very 'uneven' being that it came from like 3 different studio sessions for 3 different projects)...but yet you can here an evolution happening...ROCKNROLL pretty much blew Ryan to a complete different place...all in all...he fucking rocks! Every minute of last night is on my face today.... | |

Good topic!
Everlast. I remember him when he was part of Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate. (I might still have the cassette somewhere.) Then came House of Pain. Think he's solo now. Don't quite know what to call his style, though. Alternative? Do singers who sing both R&B and gospel (Aretha, Al Green) count? | |

Jewel - not that I'm a fan but she went from singing soft folky tunes to shaking her ass singing pop tunes. Her latest shit is awful. | |

Changing your style of music in terms of the genre of rock though is usually the kiss Of death. Trying to fit in with the times is the worst thing you can do. Sure critics will call it dated but it's all about economics anyway and later they'll usually re-evaluate it and called it an overlooked masterpiece. Look at the likes of Aerosmith and Def Leppard and their desperate attempts to stay current. huge masses of their fan base have now deserted them, so then any attempts recapture their old sound then seems contrived. Look at the likes of the Rolling Stones and ACDC, hardly changed and they can still pack em in. Hell look at Bowie's rejuvanation. He's merely playing with his classic sound instead of trying to follow trends and his music is great again. Changing style mostly sucks. | |

Joy Division/New Order went from thrash punk to post punk to dance rock to synth pop in like 5 years. | |

Bowie's style completely changed every couple years and sometimes from album to album.
64-66 (British r+b bands) 67-68 (mod) 69 (folk) 70 (proto-metal) 71 (singer songwriter, almost cabaret in places) 72-73 (glam rock) 74 (transition, impossible to label) 75-76 (soul and funk) 77-79 (Berlin, impossible to describe. Its own mix of electronica, punk and soul. Unprecendented.) 79-80 (post-punk and new wave. I use these categories loosely. He was still doing his own thing.) 81-88 (pop) 89-92 (straight up rock 'n' roll, college rock) 93-97 (various forms of dance music, industrial, drum 'n' bass, techno, etc.) 98-present (classic Bowie. Its own genre  ) | |
