It's not surprising that someone of your extremely limited intellect can't understand the difference between the growth of an artist versus selling out to the fans in order to continue to earn money.

Not surprising at all. Oh, and way to dumb down a great thread.

And you're a know it all douche. Almost every band I like I prefer their first 2-3 albums. And almost every example you gave was stupid. Is STP more popular now than when they first hit the scene? Is Soungarden? Do you think FF were ever as popular as Nirvana? Did Sabbath sell more Ozzy albums or Dio albums? Did VH sell more albums with DLR or Hagar?

Just because a band changes (or "grows" to you) it doesn't mean they're better, and more often than not they're never as good. My favorite NIN album is still Pretty Hate Machine, but they've had a lot of good ones since then. If they would have tried to dramatically change their sound they would have lost all of their fans and flopped big time.

And once again, you misunderstand the word "Artist". Contrary to your beliefs, bands, especially those with artistic band members, prefer to do what they want with their music as opposed to chasing after their fans.

Is this a trick question? Foo Fighters have sold tens of millions more records than Nirvana. Nirvana's second record only sold two million copies. Did Nirvana ever sell out Wembly night after night?

Regardless, it's not about selling records: It's about expressing yourself and growing as an artist. You don't seem to even understand that simple concept.

Who cares?

That's because you're a simpleton that would rather have his favorite bands remain static rather than grow and change.

Again, who cares?
