Who are some artists who displayed the most radical change in musical direction over a series of albums? For better or for worse. I.E .The Meat Puppets.

Meat Puppets I - Hard-Core
Meat Puppets II - Cow Punk
Upon the Sun - Psychedelic Country Rock

In a matter of three releases, the Puppets when from sounding retarded to refined.
 
Primal Scream

Sonic Flower Groove - jangly guitar pop
Primal Scream - Garage Rock
Screamadelica - Psychadelia / Acid House
Give Out - Rock n Roll
Vanishing Point - Techno / Dub
XTRMTR & Evil Heat - Punk / Techno / Bangra / Jazz / Pop / Krautrock
Riot City Blues - Rock n Roll / Proto Punk
 
I gotta get back into Zappa. I'm putting "Hot Rats" and "One Size Fits All" on the short list for purchases. Bob Dylan did a big twist becoming born-again on Slow Train Coming/Saved/Shot of Love (Christian Rock), then did the big un-twist on "Infidels" .
 
I saw the title and thought this was about banRAB who'd changed merabers a lot in their time, and was ready with the obvious response..."THE FALL". They could still fit this thread though, they've covered a fair bit of musical ground in their time.

Meat Puppets' first album rules.
 
Ulver sounRAB like BM's answer to Radiohead. I'm going to try to hunt down their debut (their folk influence sounRAB darn interesting.) Just got "Hot Rats" - Willie the Pimp kicks ass.
