9 artists who sound nothing like they did when they started out
You've changed
- Radiohead: Listening to the indie rock of Thom Yorke and co's debut record Pablo Honey, you'd never expect them to be making the left field experimental, electronic sounds that make up their most recent offerings, especially In Rainbows. Indeed, the band did begin to explore other genres after the release of breakthrough album OK Computer, and ultimately became a much better band for it. Radiohead's devotion to pushing things forward and always being, well, a bit "weird" has enabled them to become one of the greatest and original bands in the world.

It's not exactly rare for an artist to develop and change their sound in the duration of their career. It's natural, of course, to grow, mature and hopefully improve your output.
Usually, however, there's still the same sound that introduced them to the world at the core of their latest work. For example, Arctic Monkeys' lyricism has become more serious, and their sound more R&B influenced, but they've still got that same attitude that so beguiled audiences when they first burst onto the scene.
However, there are some artists who have developed and changed so much that their material now is almost unrecognisable from their debut collections. For better or for worse, they've changed. Here are 9 artists who now sound very different from when they first started out.
