I'm talking about artists who completely changed genre or otherwise became unrecognisable. Share some that you know of!

The Beatles changed in the very short amount of time they existed. They put out about ten albums in 7 or 8 years and comparing the first with the last they’re almost unrecognizable. Listening with modern ears it’s clear they’re all The Beatles but that’s mostly because of the ubiquitousness of their music.

I’d also like to think that it wasn’t just a shift from A to B, it was more of a shift from A (Love Me Do / R&B Rock and Roll) to B (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds / Psych Rock) to C (Abbey Road)
