A lot of bands get different genres, but its the genre that the band are known best for that normally dominates.

There are a number of bands though, that have shifted through different genres and can equally be recognized for these genres.

Jethro Tull- Blues Rock, Prog Rock and Folk Rock.

Are a great example, as they did all three equally well and are well known for these three styles.
