Strongly depends on whether or not the band can maintain any sense of creative momentum and change over a long period of time ie Wilco,Radiohead,Modest Mouse. Otherwise the band will either a)lapse into a rut, b)peter out with nobody listening or c)collapse.

Well said.
There are loyal fans that stick by bands throughout change and even fans that stay with a band even after they go mainstream.
