My brother saw him in concert last year. Big disappointment. He said it was like a live jam session. 15 minute solos. NY with his back to the crowd jamming with the other musicians.

Bill Haley: from established Western Swing singer to co-founder of Rock & Roll (any number of Rock & Roll pioneers would qualify; but Haley changed styles, not just evolve)
Charlie Rich: from blue-eyed soul singer to purist country icon
Morrissey: From spokesman for alienated youth to spokesman for racist wankers.

Previous to Silverfish, she was in a garage-punk band called Thee Grizzeldas (with White Stripes producer Liam Watson) who covered "Gloria" but called it "Goretex" and supported my first band. So she certainly went uphill from there.
However, that isn't really the same thing, is it, as she went changed bands and went solo.

I did think about the Grizzelders, but if we're to include an artist's pre-recognition bands, then it's a longer schlep.
(Janik might have a point, although I think that Cook fits the bill here pretty comfortably.)

Ministry - from Sire records attempt to cash in on the success of UK synth pop like Depeche Mode to heroin using industrial metal hybrid.
Ulver - from Norwegian black metal to epic pop which is more Pet Shop Boys than Mayhem
The Ex - from CRASS like anarcho-punk to free jazz and traditional Ethiopian music

And of course Sir Cliff Richard, from rock 'n' roll originator to proto-black metal (Devil Woman), to inventing house music (Wired for sound) to being nearly as big-as-Jesus (Millenium Prayer). Is there no form of music that this man has not blessed?

Noel. But it was still lightyears ahead of what his kid brother was doing. (Which, of course, is DBFP.)
To be honest, none of it has been much of a stretch from later Oasis material.Last edited by Jah Womble; 06-03-2019, 21:37.

Pantera.
Several albums of (admittedly getting heavier) glam rock, then a vocalist change and another gear up in hardness, then out goes the spandex and we get Cowboys from Hell.
Which is a great album, irrespective of the controberco that surrounds the band.

Steve Winwood had something of a chameleon-like career.
Started with R&B (Spencer Davis Group) before graduating to Traffic, who were originally psychedelic and later a bit prog. Can't speak about Blind Faith, but by the 80s he was rolling up his jacket sleeves and making radio-friendly pop.Last edited by Stumpy Pepys; 11-03-2019, 14:17.

Kenny Rogers - from psychedelic, folk-tinged rock 'n' roll to seasoned housewives'-favourite country storytelling.
Bernard Sumner/Peter Hook/Steve Morris - from ice-sculpted post-punk nihilism to Arthur Baker-driven BPMs.
Pitchshifter - from uncompromising Peel-favoured doom-metallers to heavily-programmed industrial drum & bass.
