Post subject:  Artists that completely changed their sound

I am looking for examples of artists/bands who developed into something completely unrecognizable to the sound they started out with

Two really good examples of this are Fleetwood Mac (started as a blues group, developed into the band that made Rumours) and Goo Goo Dolls (started as a Husker-Du influenced punk band, developed into power-balladeers). Beastie Boys too.

Fleetwood Mac is a great example.

The Eagles went from soft, California country to a more rock sound when Joe Walsh joined.

Silverchair and Green Day are two that come to mind

I don't think The Eagles, Silverchair, or Green Day are drastic enough of a change to qualify here.

The Green Day one is kind of a tame example (they went from pop-punk to poppier pop-punk). I'm looking for something a bit more drastic. No clue about Silverchair

Pyogenesis

Original sound:


Nine years later:


I believe it's even the same vocalist and everything.

That's kind of hilarious

Not sure if Fleetwood Mac counts. Buckingham, Nicks, and Christine McVie were the chief songwriters once they joined. The earlier group was led by Peter Green.

Still releasing music under the same name, so it counts for this thread

Genesis changed a lot from 1967 to the 90s.

Silverchair went from that heavy pre teen angst of Israel's Son, etc to straight up pop with stuff like straight lines

Alright I'll come clean, I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to Silverchair.

This was the "hit" on their final album

What about Pink Floyd? Their early stuff with Syd was quite different from say, The Wall.

Of course they count. Practially two different bands. And there was also a long period in between Green leaving and Buckingham/Nicks joining. They even had a few moderate hits in that period.
