When you hear the band after the change, it's pretty easy to tell.

can you give me some easy and not so easy to tell examples of bands that were really good that sold out.
an example that people often quote is metallica. now i loved ride the lightning and kill em all cause i'm more of a hardcore punk fan.
metallica slowly and not so slowly changed after that. was it because they were selling out or because they ran out of good ideas. you know how some authors only have one or two good books in them and after that they never really amount to much.
