I don't really care about Bowie, Iggy, or The Beatles enough to know their history but i'm discussing established bands that suddenly changed genres. You'll be hard pressed to find a handful that succeeded in doing it. It may have worked for a few but I'm discussing Paramore and my own personal history of any band I've enjoyed. It's stupid and annoying for me as a fan of any artist to switch styles suddenly when I became of fan of that band for their style.

Paramore became another bubblegum pop band that sounds like 50 other female-fronted bands doing the same thing. The style change didn't make sense commercially, critically or any other way you look at it. An established band making a style change is career suicide. Paramore at first was looked as a great new up-and-coming band with a female lead singer that was in your face and a band that was hungry. No one cares about them now, their sales are in the bin. I think the last two albums barely sold over 100,000 a piece. No one one wanted it.
