Top 10 Music Artists that Have Gotten Better Over Time
Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more. The two My World albums were cheesy and the melodies were annoying. You can hear how those songs were written to sound cheerful and catchy, but lacking anything that made them truly enjoyable. Compare "Baby" to "ABC" by young Michael Jackson. Both singers were still children before puberty voice change, but ABC has an easy going melody, a cool beat and a fun attitude. Baby is repetitive, shows little variation, and has a cheap leftover RnB beat. I listened to both albums fully, and I have to admit, not all songs are as bad as that one but nevertheless, it didn't sound very good either. It feels too forced and lacks anything fun and entertaining.
Then he hit puberty and oh look: he actually can sing. Unfortunately, the first thing he released was the worst Christmas album I have ever heard. You see, Christmas songs are supposed to be harmonic and heartwarming. Singers with great voices, especially older ones like Frank Sinatra or Barbara Streisand, recorded ...more
In my Opinion yes he has gotten better but he still sucks
Blood on the Dance Floor was an American electronic music group from Orlando, Florida, originally consisting of Dahvie Vanity and several other members over time. The group formed in 2006, with former members including Jayy Von Monroe (2009–2016) and Garrett Ecstasy (2009), all of whom provided vocals for the project... read more Hate them or love them - I know way too many people do both beyond any logical reasoning - but if you listen to songs like Sexting or It's On Like Donkey Kong (usually the two that get the most hate for understandable reasons, both 2010) and then to more recent ones like I'm Not in Love Anymore (2016) or especially Where's My Wonderland (2012, and yeah, I really like the song) you wouldn't believe it's the same band. Even if you still don't like their recent stuff, you will have to admit that the improvement is gigantic, most likely even bigger than Bieber's.
Nah, nothing good from them exists.
Once trash, always trash.

Their 2003 Estonia exclusive self titled debut album was silly funk pop.
Their 2004 wider released Traces of Sadness was dramatic synth rock with a female empowerment statement.
Their 2005 success Blue Tattoo added a bombastic and sometimes symphonic sound to the music. The lyrics were more mystical.
Their 2006 last album Love is War showed them liberating from their label and producer, and being essentially an improved version of Traces of Sadness's synth rock premise, but with better lyrics.

She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is Mezzo-Soprano and spans 4 octaves... read more Musically, there is little to hate about Bangerz and Her Dead Petz. Okay, she went on pure drug mode for the latter, but the psychadelic touch was executed well. The reason people hate her is her public image.
She's gotten way better. She is dropping her antics in favor of being a social justice hero. Plus, Wrecking Ball is a good song.
Pantera was an American heavy metal band formed in 1981 by guitarist Dimebag Darrell and drummer Vinnie Paul. The band started out as a glam metal act in the 1980s with little success.

Breaking Benjamin is a American post-grunge/alternative metal/rock band formed in 1998. The bands members all changed in the time between 2010 to 2014, with the exception of Ben Burnley (Vocals). The Ex-Members included Chad Szeliga (Drums), Aaron Fink (Guitar) and Mark Klepaspi (Bass).
The band is one of the most well-known bands of its genre and is associated with its electronic sounds in their songs and overall technicality.
After the release of their second album "We Are Not Alone", the band gained a lot success in Europe and Asia. I would almost say this band gets progressively better with each new release, though 'Dear Agony' is still my personal favourite album of theirs.
However only last year did they start touring outside the USA. It only took them almost 20 years, but better late than never, right?

Formed in 2004, the group currently consists of vocalist Oliver Sykes, guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish. They are signed to RCA Records globally and Columbia Records exclusively in the US.

Well my favorite album by them is There is a Hell, but Sempiternal and That's The Spirit aren't bad

Blind Guardian is a German power metal band formed in the mid-1980s in West Germany. They are often credited as one of the seminal and most influential bands in the power metal and speed metal subgenres. Heavily influenced by Queen, they use the technique of overdubbing. They also incorporate large amounts of orchestral arrangements. Hansi Kürsch creates a huge choir effect by overdubbing his own voice multiple times in complex, overlapping harmonies. Thanks to overdubs and numerous backing vocals Blind Guardian stand out with a very dense sound. Yes, they did. But it's not because they started bad - they started great, with 'Majesty' being track #1 on their debut album in 1988, a song that is still considered one of the best speed metal songs of all time. However, they have been improving all the time - every next album was better than the previous one and they achieved a stellar musicianship. Perfectionists.
Yes definitely
Disturbed is an American alternative metal/nu-metal/hard rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The band comprises vocalist David Draiman, bassist John Moyer, guitarist Dan Donegan, and drummer Mike Wengren. They are known for songs like "Down With the Sickness" and "Stricken".

Benjamin Griffey, better known by his stage name Casper, is a German rock musician, singer-songwriter and rapper of American descent born on September 25, 1982 who rose to massive national fame in Germany with the blockbuster album “XOXO” (2011), which received rave reviews by critics. Despite being raised with the English language, he is often noted for his complex and poetic lyrics, all of which are in Gernan. Rooted both in punk rock and hip hop, Casper’s musical style has been the subject of much debate. Most of his songs have hard rock outfits, rough vocals and rebellious, sociocritic and anthem-like lyrics usually associated with rock, while his monotonous chanting can best be described ...read more. Casper started out as an underground rapper, but never seemed to stand out of the crowd.
Then all of a sudden 2011's XOXO happened. He added rock music to the sound and became one of the greatest German songwriters if the 21st century. He pretty much abandoned the hip hop game from then on, and offered a unique mix of indie pop, punk and a few other indefinable genres, and became a patinum selling superstar for socially and politically aware youths. Or to sum it up in his words: "Deutschland krank vor Zorn / Die Kids haben komplett den Verstand verlor'n! " ("Germany's sick of rage / The kids have completely lost their minds! ").
My Chemical Romance is an American rock band from Jersey City, New Jersey, active from 2001 to 2013, and again from 2019 to present day. For much of their career, the band consisted of lead vocalist Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, bassist Mikey Way, and drummer Bob Bryar. I think they reached their peak with "The Black Parade, also 3CFSR was better than Danger Dayz, and all of them were better than Conventional Weapons, which is just as good as their debut.
Maybe that's just me, but I think the quality of their albums has little to do with the time they were released.
Every album is just greater than the last one
Queens of the Stone Age is an American rock band from Palm Desert, California, United States, formed in 1996. The band's line-up includes founder Josh Homme, alongside longtime members Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita, and recent addition Jon Theodore.
Felix Antoine Blume, better known by his stage name Kollegah, is a German rapper of Canadian descent born on August 3rd, 1984. He is widely credited to have established multisyllabic rhyming and doubletime rapping in German hip hop.In the 2000s, Kollegah released a number of albums and mixtapes, all of which were immediately praised by critics and hip hop fans alike. Even though most of these albums are considered modern day classics retrospectively, they weren’t commercially successful. ...read more.
German rapper Kollegah already started out exceptionally great, but his lyrical abilities became three times as good over the years. The quality of word play reached levels that take a few listens to fully understand it all, and the amount of it also increased. Plus, the choice of beats became way better. While in the beginning, they consisted mostly of cheap electro beats, later on he rapped mostly over bombastic orchestral, or atmospheric dark beats. And his overall stage persona became way more serious. His pimp gimmick was rather tongue in cheek in the beginning, but nowadays he delivers it completely convincingly, and it never comes off as silly.
A Day to Remember (often abbreviated ADTR) is an American rock band from Ocala, Florida, founded in 2003 by guitarist Tom Denney and drummer Bobby Scruggs. They are known for their unusual amalgamation of metalcore and pop punk.

They have now started writing for other bands too, they wrote 'Find My Way' for their friends band FROM INSIDE which is due out Summer 2016. Details of other projects they are working on is set to be released on their Facebook page. Honestly I like more their pop punk stuff than their post-hardcore stuff
Pierce the Veil is an American post-hardcore band from San Diego, California. Formed in 2006, the band was founded by brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes after the disbandment of the group Before Today, which was formed out of the San Diego punk rock scene. At least they aren't emo anymore
Panic! at the Disco was an American pop rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2004 and featuring the current lineup of vocalist Brendon Urie, accompanied on tour by bassist Dallon Weekes, guitarist Kenneth Harris, and drummer Dan Pawlovich. Well maybe their last albums aren't better than Pretty Odd but at least is better than seen them as an emo stuff
