Has there ever been a band that has flipped and flopped as much as the Beach Boys in style and direction from one album to the next? Everything up to SD/SN made a lot of sense. Then you get this illogical proggression...

Party ... Pet Sounds ... Smiley Smile ... Wild Honey ... Friends ... 20/20 ... Sunflower ... Surfs Up ... So Tough ... Holland

Many bands have gone through a change, but has any other band changed from one album to the next like this?!

I like all of these albums, but its no wonder they didn't survive commercially through those years.

Really these rapid changes are what made them such a great group. I love the early stuff, but the music from Pet Sounds to Holland is just as amazing.

Drugs.

But, hey, that's why we love them so. And you could probably add 15 Big Ones to that progression...

Does anyone know of any other group as diverse in consecutive albums like that?

Hell, just the change alone from Piper & Saucerful to what came afterwards is a big leap.

Toss in the Velvets for good measure too

just the contrast between the banana album and White Light/White Heat

then from there they make a gentle folk album!

The best!!!!

The Rolling Stones from 65-68 changed a lot.

Out Of Our Heads
Aftermath
Between The Buttons
Satanic Majesties
Begger's
Sadly every album from then on would sound the same more or less.

Dylan 66-69
Blonde On Blonde
Basement Tapes
John Wesley
Nashville Skyline

Beatles 65-69
Help
Rubber Soul
Revolver
Sgt Pepper
White Album

I think music changed much quicker from 62-72 then ever before or since.
Still again I think the Beach Boys varied the most.

Silverchair! I know not too many North American's listen to them anymore, but they continue to drastically change their sound which each new release. It's pretty exciting.

Hmmm...glad to hear I'm not the only Silverchair fan here.

They're also fans of Brian.

I think that the Beatles/Stones/Floyd did change a lot, but they were  in a more logical proggression IMO.
