There has never been a band/artist who have changed their style of music during their career and succeeded

>There has never been a band/artist who have changed their style of music during their career and succeeded

Prove me wrong

there are lots, depends what you mean by 'style' i suppose
if you mean genre, then not too many

Radiohead, you dumb assholes
And that's just the most popular example of many

I mean a complete genre shift.

>Radiohead
I expected a meme answer like this.

Every successful artist has changed their style somewhere down the road

>And that's just the most popular example of many
What is U2?

tom waits

thread's over.

>it's a meme!

See

Todd Rundgren

Ulver
Neurosis
Autechre
Metallica
Carcass
Death

>implying and your post is any better

*luagh

What is The Beatles?

Rodney Dangerfield

Talk talk

>>Metal

Scott Walker

Bob Dylan

All he succeed was making Shittier music.

>acknowledging his 70's stuff

Swans

only Ulver counts, because the others didn't change their style, merely their direction

Beethoven

i guess it depends on your definition of 'succeeded', but of Montreal has changed their 'style/genre' pretty much every album, and I think they're all successful

AC/DC u fuking fgt

unwound

People are taking this obvious bait thread seriously?

Neurosis: hardcore punk to atmospheric sludge.
Autechre: electro to glitch
Metallica: thrash to hard rock
Carcass: grindcore to melodeath
Death: death to progressive (you might be right on this one desu)

Kraftwerk
Animal Collective

Stop listening to AC/DC.

The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist.

real answers

Welcome to Sup Forums, now get the fuck out.

Judas Priest from hard rock to speed metal

Odd one that no one here gives a fuck about but Oceana
>First a metalcore band
>release "Clean Head EP", its an indie jam rock album with some bluesiness

Celtic Frost
The KLF

Radiohead, Tom Waits, Todd Rundgren, David Bowie, Brian Eno, Talk Talk, Swans, Kraftwerk, Animal Collective

Burzum from black metal to Dungeon synth

The Beatles one of the most obvious examples..
Started as a pop boy band playing covers and little 2 minute tunes
Compare that to anything past Rubber Soul, esp. stuff like Sgt Peppers, Abbey Road, The White Album. Huge shift sonically and ambition-wise

Lots of black metal artists make good ambient albums.

The Cure went from post-punk to gothic rock to pop
