Which band "sold out" the most from their early stuff.

The new one:

Van Morrison: Latest Record Project Volume 1 review | Alexis Petridis's album of the week

I thought that was going to be a five star review then ha!

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Not a band but Calvin Harris did some decent collaborations early on but then sold out and has done some horrendous stuff recently.

I saw David Guetta DJing years ago in the 2nd room at foundation he was class. I'd only heard one of his productions at the time and liked it. He has released some very successful commercial shite since then.

They did release two new tracks. One of them they couldn't play live then they fell out again before they could go any further

Those two songs were embarrassing.

I've got about 40 van the man albums, treat him as peak and troughs, will never repeat moondance and material around that era but he does come up with occasional gems, recent one( well 2 or 4 years ago ) ' keep me singing; is in me top 10 van albums.
did consider new album but read guardian review and thought better of it.

TBH, whilst I haven't listened to it, I wouldn't judge the new Van Morrison album based on that. Uncut gave it 8/10. I'm just not sure I want to listen to anything he's released since 1974, aside from some songs.

Van Morrison's new single and album, are actually pretty damn good First for a long time

The Duets one was ok a few years ago but they've just sounded the same for the last 20 years in general, in my view anyway

I've not heard much of the album, but for me, the single "Only A Song" is the best he's done in years

Those two songs were embarrassing.

One of them sounded like it was a reject from do it yourself and the other sounded like a reject from unfinished monkey business

will give it a whirl

I never got the hype around The Stone Roses, but each to their own!

 

[Dan The Man]

Green Day?

Big fan personally. First album was a masterpiece then pressure / lawsuits / heroin stopped them achieving something even bigger

I think he must have re-invented himself at some point in the 90's. I got in to him then from seeing him somewhere live and then went back and discovered the whole back catalogue, massive fan after that but he's just a lazy songwriter now

 

[EcosseMackem]

U2, anything after the unforgettable fire although I did buy the Joshua tree.
Really don’t like them now.

U2's debut album Boy is one of my favourite albums of all time, and it was apparent even from that one album, how big they would become.
The follow up, October was the biggest pile of crap I've ever had the misfortune to listen to in comparison and I've never had time for them since

Think it was a time and place thing.

 

[What A Waster]

The stone roses. Told everyone new stuff was coming, did a load of gigs and did nowt but old stuff. They can fuck off for me

Oh another bunch of big summer gigs... big wow

 

[FootballFan]

Not what the world is waiting for any longer

Genesis would be up in my top few but I think Roxy Music would be my first choice. Loved their first two albums but things went seriously downhill later.

I loved For Your Pleasure, bought the first album after that then the next 3 but got utterly hacked off with the drift from their early sound to the pap after Siren in 1975.
