Id have to say ACDC....
..and you cant say Iron Maiden, because they started off sounding punk-ish with Paul Di'Anno, then got faster and more "metal" sounding with Dickinson, started using synth in '86 with Somewhere in Time, and Seventh son, and so on...they got a darker sound with blaze, and now are Progressive. so they had much evolution. But Priest has many many different sound changes, even late on in their carreer, that takes balls! |

Great point Dime !!
I'm a big fan of Def Leppard too-& their sound has changed so much over 30 years--even to the point where they did a*rap* song--"Slang"--if that's what you want to call it--but I like them mainly for their ballads--*sighs*
Also Metallica changed so much that I just became turned off by them--they were "The Master Of Puppets" & now with a country song on 1 of their cds--I have all the cds with Cliff Burton & Jason Newsted but they drastically changed their tune--I'm all for a band to spread thier wings & fly but to be honest--some bands fall & some soar

Almost all bands had to evolve out of the 80's to survive, i can't think of a single band who stayed glam after the 80's and kept their entire fan base, we have Cobain and Grunge to thank for that. Changing a bands sound can have dire consequences if their fans don't follow along with it, take poison for a big example.
All and all my favourite bands evolution's is still Priest, no other band slowly evolved, still defining a genre of rock while arguably creating their own, known today as Heavy Metal. Although some would argue that was Sabbath's doing more than Priest's. Through adding a much more louder vocalist, and the twin guitar attack, that Metal is now more known for, while giving the world untouchable albums spanning over 4 decades. IMO Sabbath gave us the sound, Priest carved it, stamped it and spread it around the world.
