I actually enjoy when a bands music evolves, it keeps music fresh. Some bands do a good job and come up with something thats totally unique and rocks, then get alot of slack from their core fans because it doesnt sound the same as the last albums. Then on the other hand, there are the bands that used to be somewhat unique and changed to make their music more radio friendly and appeal to a larger market. I dont necessarily blame them though, afterall they are making a living playing music while suckers like us get stuck working a 40hr week. Dire Straits said it best "money for nothing and the chicks for free". All in all i think the whole discussion is kinda pointless. If you like old Green Day good for you, If you like new Green Day, good for you, If you like crass, exploited, subhumans, good for you, if you like willie nelson and garth brooks, good for you...etc. etc. etc.
