These lists always kind of remind me of popular bands that changed music over time. The most drastic "pivot" I've ever come across in a known band is Ministry, who went from a benign new-wave Depeche Mode clone in 1983 [1] to a pseudo-Cabaret Voltaire in 1986 [2], then to full-on metal by 1991 [3].

- yesenadam 4y agoThanks, the Ministry evolution was funny, and made me think of this comparably drastic one: Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (1959) [0] to Live-Evil (1971) [1] to Rated X (1974) [2] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAxefAW4J1g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAxefAW4J1g [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_sDYPbiwMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_sDYPbiwMA [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrjFtbGKqFk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrjFtbGKqFk
- joegahona 4y agoThis is bonkers -- I don't really follow/listen to jazz, but was aware of "So What" and the other Miles Davis standards -- I had no idea he went this direction. Was he just stretching the genre as far as possible at this point? The "genre-stretching" thing is something I've been thinking about lately and trying to identify -- the band Swans has done this convincingly imo with rock, especially with the 2013 album "To Be Kind."
- yesenadam 4y agoHi :-) What genre? ..jazz?! I don't think of those second two as jazz. People play music, not genres. They and their music just have to be labelled to put in bins in record stores I guess. Some other Miles "directions": classical/flamenco (1960) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38zRx9AYDHQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38zRx9AYDHQ latin/bossanova (1963) https://youtu.be/PnCg05hrBWs?t=1089 https://youtu.be/PnCg05hrBWs?t=1089 guitar-based rock (1970) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up9yWDl0jBc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up9yWDl0jBc funk (1972) https://youtu.be/AIqXprCArdo?t=1520 https://youtu.be/AIqXprCArdo?t=1520 Others e.g. Bitches Brew (1970), In a Silent Way (1969), are totally different again from these.
