What bands should have died before fucking up their reputation and legacy?
Of the top of my head - Smashing Pumpkins, obviously Dream Theater, Metallica.
Brainstorm me, /mu/, I'm trying to write a paper on this and I'm extremely stupid today.
Oasis fell off a cliff in terms of quality around 1997, despite still being commercially successful
Van Halen (but at which moment is a matter of debate)
Def Leppard
Sonic Utes
Pixies
U2
Pink Floyd

If I were to make a band, I'd plan my career first. Guess we'd do something like one, two or three albums, keeping some of the best content for the last ones and gradually doing shit better. Always cure our releases with vinyls, great cover art, lots of blog posts and being in touch with fans, taking your time to do things.
Do solo artists count?

Yeah or AoTY

fuck off with your cvlt bullshit, musically they're light years ahead of their former selves

How would that work exactly? You can't predict shit like that. Things you make at one point might seem ridiculous to you few years later. I know this feeling from just a few months of progress. We tried recycling some stuff we composed half a year ago and we instantly realized how shit it was. Your perception of your own music evolves more radically than you'd think.
CAN and Yes are big ones for me. I guess velvet underground but luckily no one even really considers squeeze a vu album
Duran Duran
The Fall do something good every three to five years, but I sense the end.

None, because bands should make music for themselves not to you
>>64280986
ayy lmao
Any 80s metal band
Bloc Party

>"What bands should have died before fucking up their reputation and legacy?"
>implying that releasing bad albums destroys the legacy of their good ones

>bait
Obvious answer would be Soft Machine
>>64280076
U2 (or at least allowed Eno back into the fold or just not pull a coldplay and have a different producer for each fucking song)
Lil Wayne, he used to be the #1 pop rapper before releasing full on garbage
AC/DC
Guns n Roses
Melvins

ebin job bryan

Not in the eyes of people like us who spend so much time dabbling around music. But try mentioning U2 among your friends. Its just cool to hate them now.

I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks :)

This. Self-loathing has no better companion than an artist.
the beach boys
>>64281933
Mike Love is a special case.
>>64282124
in what sense
but anyway if surfs up had been the last beach boys album their reputation would be untarnished. theres a lot of really crap albums in their late discography
