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!
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. She is known as Queen of Pop and at modern pop culture specifically... read more 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.
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.
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
Linkin Park is an American alternative rock band formed in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996. The current members include Mike Shinoda (vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar), Brad Delson (guitar), Dave "Phoenix" Farrell (bass), Joe Hahn (DJ), and Rob Bourdon (drums). Linkin Park is associated with a mixture... 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.
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... 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.
Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more 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.
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.
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.
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... 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.
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). Manager Phil Harvey is often considered an unofficial fifth member. The band renamed... 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.
Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American pop singer. 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. She ultimately signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning... read more From 2006 to 2012, she was one of those "hit or miss" artists. 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.

Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang"... read more She was a talented and fun artist gone to a dirty ho who's always talks bout ass. I miss the old Nicki. I really do.
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.

Joseph Wayne McVey IV, better known by his stage names Z-Ro and The Mo City Don, is an American rapper from Houston, Texas. Should be top 5. This guy fell so hard.
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.
