What artist(s) had a radical change in musical style? - FMHY

I’m talking about artists who completely changed genre or otherwise became unrecognisable. Share some that you know of!

my chemical romance and panic at the disco. their hayday was their first, like, two albums and then they did something completely different. i hate it so much :c

also stars. they used to be my favorite band ever and then went in a completely different direction with the north album. also a very sucky change that dropped them from my favorite band.

Fall Out Boy also changed pretty significantly around the same time as PATD. I think as they got a larger following they just followed the money. Hard to blame them for it, but they’re first 3 albums are so much better than the later stuff. I’ll absolutely still listen to it, though
good point, yeah! fall out boy was the same way. it's a shame all these emo bands decided to do something different. they were killing it :/
