Top Ten Music Artists that Have Gotten Worse Over Time
These artists have gotten worse over time. Thinking that they'll be able to bring out some difference in their music and all didn't prove to be a boon for them. Or maybe they just didn't sound the same because of death of a prominent musician and other reasons.
Ye (born Kanye Omari West; June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer and fashion designer. He is regarded as one of the most influential, as well as controversial, artists of the 21st century. ...read more. Kanye's first three albums (The College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation) were all classics and are something that every rap fan has to listen to. His fourth album (808s & Heartbreak) was average, but that was when he started going downhill because of his depression that was caused by his mother's death. His fifth album (My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy) was also average, but this was where we first saw how egotistical he had become. His last two albums (Yeezus and The Life of Pablo) were just garbage and noise with no creative lyricism or unique beats. I miss the old Kanye!
While I wouldn't consider his early music "best artist of the 21st century" worthy I can actually kind of see where that view is coming from. Yet I struggle to think of even something minor he has done right in the past few years musically or otherwise.
The 1st 3 albums (College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation) were amazing, his next 2 were good but... (808s & Heartbreak, MBDTF) he became a bit egotistical, his last 2 were kinda lame compared to his old stuff. He's still decent and hasn't gone downhill too bad.
When was this scumbag ever good.
Madonna Louise Ciccone, known professionally as Madonna, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. She influenced a lot of singers such as: Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Beyonce Knowles and Britney Spears.

I love a lot of old Madonna songs (I.e. Like a Prayer, Material Girl, True Blue, Papa Don't Preach, etc.) But even by the late 90's she went downhill. But still love her old stuff! Great picture here too!- D.Natasha
At first, I thought she was absolutely terrible because the first song I had heard from her was one of her more recent stuff, but although I still don't care for her old stuff, it was at least better than what she does now.
This singer is good though but she's getting worser everyear. Her newer songs sounds like generic trap pop song especially B****! I'm Madonna. Don't get me wrong, I'm amazed on the artists in their 40s and 50s who make songs that appeal to younger generation but that song is just a pathetic excuse.
It's sad to say, but Madonna is passed her prime. I don't know what's worse nowadays, her music or her showing her ass and acting like she's young on Jimmy Fallon's show.
Linkin Park is an American rock band formed in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996. The members currently include Mike Shinoda (vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar), Brad Delson (guitar), Dave "Phoenix" Farrell (bass), Joe Hahn (DJ) and Rob Bourdon (drums). Linkin Park are associated with a mixture of Alternative ...read more. If you think that this band is still good, listen to Battle Symphony and Heavy.
That's all I'm gonna say...
Their first 3 albums were pretty good, and then they turned to crap.
The didn't get bad< they just changed genres.
They've been awful from the start.
Guns N' Roses is an American hard rock band from Los Angeles formed in 1985. The classic lineup, as signed to Geffen Records in 1986, consisted of vocalist Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Steven Adler. Apart from hard rock they are also associated with heavy metal. ...read more. Their late 80s and early 90s are good but their album Chinese Democracy is not that good.
It's a shame, I liked their old stuff.
Goes without saying
Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter.
She was born on December 13, 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania. She is best known for writing personal songs and for having won 11 Grammys. She became interested in country music when she was around 9 years old, and after watching a documentary about Faith Hill, Swift felt that she should go to Nashville to begin a country music career. She then signed a contract with RCA Records and began to write songs. She's going downhill and uphill again. She makes great albums such as Fearless and Speak Now but her album Reputation is her weakest album at all. However, she's going uphill again with the albums such as Folklore and Evermore.
Just imagine her negative frame of mind that fuels the drive to make songs/videos to scorn old boyfriends and beefs with other artists (for more than a decade now).
I'm glad people aren't crazy about her anymore, in few years she'll fade into obscurity.
I went to her concert a few months ago. If I had to choose between her old stuff and new stuff, I'd go old stuff like Blank Space.
I'm not a fan of any of her music, old or new, but she was definitely better back then.
Bon Jovi is a hard rock/pop rock band formed in 1983, which had a streak of successful albums in the late 1980s. The band originally consisted of lead vocalist Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Ritchie Sambora (left in 2013), bassist Alec John Such (left in 1994), keyboard David Bryan, and drummer Tico Torres. The band's most famous album is Slippery When Wet, released in 1986, and had multiple hit singles such as "You give love a bad name", "Livin' On A Prayer", and "Wanted Dead Or Alive". The band's success continued well into the 1990s and 2000s, and the group still makes music to this day. They have sold around around 83 million albums worldwide.The band's first four albums blended the glam metal ...read more. Unfortunately, yes. After 2000 they started playing mostly country songs, or country-inspired songs. I like their 80s songs very much.
They are awful wayback 80s and 90s and obviously they got much worser with making forgettable and boring rock songs.
I liked their last album...
Coldplay are a British pop rock band formed in 1996. The band consists of Chris Martin (lead vocalist and pianist), Jonny Buckland (lead guitarist), Guy Berryman (bassist) and Will Champion (drummer and backing vocalist).

Before making their debut album, they recorded and released three EPs: Safety in 1998, Brothers & Sisters as a single in 1999, and The Blue Room in the same year. The Blue Room was their first release on a major label, after signing to Parlophone. ...read more. I don't think it's that they've gotten worse, but more the fact that I've just grown away from them. I think it's more my state of mind than their musical talent.

Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, she first entered the music industry by recording demo tapes under the direction of record producer Evan Rogers in 2003.

Some of her songs were good and some were mediocre. Now, almost all of them are flat out terrible.
She started of good, now her newer songs are more hit or miss.

How is Eminen above Nicki Minaj? Eminem is an AMAZING rapper and his new songs are better than EVERY song on the radio today.
At least in 2012, she had some decent songs. Now it's all about her ass.

With fellow gangsta rapper 50 Cent, Game managed to make hits such as "How We Do" and "Hate It Or Love It". His Eminem diss was so horrible, his older stuff is better.

Aubrey Drake Graham, known professionally as Drake, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, born on October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Canada. He started his career on Canadian reality show "Degrassi: The Next Generation". Here is one that makes a lot of sense his music in the later 2010 s has just gotten boring yet he has kept getting more popular somehow.

Before the current group was established, the original four members, Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick, formed a band known as Kara's Flowers in 1994, while they were still in high school. They used to be good but they go downhill. They make generic and forgettable pop songs. It just like Adam Lavine and his band. So, I called them Adam Lavine and His Melons or Maroon Boredom.
The Flaming Lips are an American rock band formed in 1983 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The group recorded several albums and EPs on an indie label, Restless, in the 1980s and early 1990s.
U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. Boring from the very start. Man, their popularity was never justified.
