Name One Artist or Group That Changed Their Musical Direction
This thread is for singers or bands that started in one genre and switched to another. This doesn't include crossover acts who had hits on more than one chart but remained within their own genre.
#1. The Oak Ridge Boys from gospel to country |

The Temptations went from basic R&B in the late 60s to psychedelia - concurrent with the change in lead singers (David Ruffin to Dennis Edwards) and writers/producers (Smokey Robinson to Norman Whitfield).

Pantera went from standard 80's glam/pop-metal to a heavier, edgier sound called power groove in the early 90's which incorporated thrash, hardcore, and a splash of Southern rock. They changed completely from anything they were before.
They invented the 90's on 'Cowboys From Hell'. Before Seattle. |
