I’m largely agreeing with you, and others! But the point made by others still stands, if someone wants to carry on writing and recording, who has the right to stop them? Not you, no matter what you might think.
Although there are some people who should never have been allowed to make a second single, let alone a career... The Liberteens spring to mind. And the Manics should have called it quits years ago.
Loving the stuff that Iggy has done recently with PINS and Underworld, though.
Forgot about the RHCP. I think Frusciante leaving for the second time was the end of them. Some of his solo stuff is great.
I understand the posts saying “Bands should be allowed to carry on. Don’t listen to it if you don’t like it. Blah, blah, blah” just take off your serious, fun killer hat and join in. It’s not like this thread willl actually result in bands giving in is it? It was intended as a bit of fun and to highlight those bands or artists that have (in your opinion) turned to shit over the years. Lighten up STW 😀
Ooh.... Cypress Hilll. Starting from the point that they decided they were a rock band and not Hip Hop.
I'd like to add Jazzy B of Soul II Soul.
Went to Don Lett's Bass Forward gig thing on the weekend and Jazzy B played a DJ set which consisted of '"Back to Life" (extended) (twice) and a load of (yes!) MASH UPS! (You know, mixing 2 songs together like what they used to about 15 years ago until, very quickly, the novelty wore off). It was terrible. Time to get a job on a building site or something Mr B.
Weezer. They're still touring and are apparently still putting out music.
Blue Album defined a summer; Pinkerton is excellent; the Green Album is good and after that it genuinely surprises me that they're still producing albums
McCartney, I’m afraid.
Dreadful, dated lyrical style and lyrics themselves over the kind of music you hear in hotel lifts.
Arctic Monkeys - disappeared up their own arse.
Paul Weller - always waiting for his latest reincarnation as either a hippie or a mod and never liking any of the songs that result as they are all shit.
Mind you, at least these are the ones that should stop now they are sullying their reputations with crap new stuff. There are plenty of acts and bands that should never have even started.
Oddly, both McCartney and Weller both had fairly major (very major in Weller’s case) overhauls at the end of their first successful band. I like a lot of the Wings stuff and the Style Council I rate very highly. Maybe it was these initial successful reincarnations that convinced them it was a trick they could pull repeatedly(?)
