Which band has fallen the most in the last fifteen years?

edited June 2008 in Other Music
I was thinking about bands who have had a couple of great albums and then

a. sold out
b. simply phoned it in
c. quality of music has simply decreased
d. play it safe

I couldn't help but think of how awesome Weezer's first two albums were and how everything else has been a shit pile since. Metallica is a close second.

So, what bands have really lost the spark and are mediocre or horrible now?

    RHCP. hands down.

    The music keeps getting more and more mellow, and the shows are scheduled 200 at a time and being totally phoned in.

    I somewhat agree, it wasn't awful but I didn't like it. It was a disappointment to me and PJ dropped from radar some years prior to that.

    Metallica needs a major comeback or they will fall into oblivion.

    Avocado may be their best albums jackholes.

    RHCP for sure; yet they were never that great; very overrated
    Tool's 10,000 Days was disappointing
    DMB for sure
    Agree that Cornell has done nothing decent since Soundgarden
    Also agree with live; haven't liked anything since The Distance to Here

    Seriously, how can anyone say PJ; just because they aren't a huge commercial success, they may be the most relevant live act around. They have more credibility than anyone out there.

    Well, Avocado was so-so... honestly though, Inside Job is amazing. Then with Riot Act, it was a little blah at times... seemed like too much filler, but for me, Binaural is where it's at, so I can't really say PJ, but they are just in a little decline.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Avocado does suck, but Riot Act is good, Binaural is amazing...

    RHCP are the most improved over the last 15 years, they've matured very well. They just fit into a sub-genre of rock music that not many here appreciate. When I was younger, I might not be able to fully appreciate it either. Now I play recent RHCP as much as PJ.
