* Oh boy, what Music/{{Rush|Band}} suffered from 1982's ''Signals'' to 1991's ''Roll The Bones'' is a story of its own. They just released their most successful album a year earlier with 1981's ''Music/{{Moving Pictures|Album}}'' and [[WordOfGod Geddy Lee said]] the band could have simply followed up with "Moving Pictures Part 2" and be happy with it, but they wanted to experiment with a new sound. What did they do? Release ''Signals'' and incorporate synth-rock and new wave elements into their music, receiving very mixed reviews from the fans at the time who were expecting their next record to be just as rocking as the last. Their continued to evolve the synth-rock and new wave elements with 1984's ''Grace Under Pressure'', 1985's ''Power Windows'', and 1987's ''Hold Your Fire'', but they also started incorporating pop-rock into their music as well, all while still keeping progressive elements in the mix. Many fans felt ''Grace Under Pressure'' and ''Power Windows'' were good improvements (finding a balance between guitars and keyboards), but by ''Hold Your Fire'' many fans absolutely hated the record at the time for its 1980's pop music sound, having [[AlbumFiller "too much filler"]], and that Lee was spending way too much time on the keyboards that were drowing out Alex Lifeson's, who was play more background textured parts and later expressed some frustration of having to work around the keyboards. Fans at this point thought Rush was going to be [[CanadaEh Canada's]] equivalent to what Music/{{Genesis|Band}} and Music/{{Yes}} were doing in the at the time (going from writing prog-rock epics in the '70s to MTV pop hits in the '80s), but in their 1989 album ''Presto'', the synths were in the background instead and the guitar was back playing actual riffs. Many fans rejoiced, but still felt the albums didn't have a "hard enough" sound to it and it was still was stuck in a pop-rock style. ''Roll The Bones'' in 1991 was worse, mainly due to the infamous [[AWildRapperAppears "rap" from a pitched-altered Geddy Lee]] on the title track and the album still having a thin, pop sound. But when 1993's ''Counterparts'' came out, ''Power Windows'' and ''Hold Your Fire'' producer Peter Collins (who was partially responsible for those albums incorporating pop elements and more keyboards) was brought back, now with a experienced resume from working with metal bands such as Music/{{Queensryche}} and engineer for the record was future Music/{{Iron Maiden}} producer Kevin Shirley, who pushed Rush to record the album with a heavier sound to prevent the thin sound ''Presto'' and ''Roll The Bones'' had. The album was critically acclaimed by critics and fans, many calling it their best record since ''Music/{{Moving Pictures|Album}}''. The album was also was smash hit, charting at #2 on Billboard (only behind ''V'' by Music/PearlJam), tied with 2012's ''Music/ClockworkAngels'' for their highest charting album in the US. Rush was finally back to many fans who may have been disappointed with their '80s and '90s output.

* "33 Max Verstappen" by Carte Blanq and Maxx Power, originally released in 2022, featured samples from actual quotes from the titular UsefulNotes/FormulaOne driver as well as commentator Christian Horner saying "You are the World Champion!". However, after the song was signed into Spinnin' Records in 2023, many longtime listeners of the song on Spotify found out that all of Verstappen's speeches are gone and are instead replaced with other voice samples or rerecorded versions of the quotes, which according to them loses the charm of the original song. Despite the original being available as the "Champions Mix", the main version of the song was affected by the changes, which is why the original's fans weren't happy.

** Modern prog idol Music/StevenWilson faced the wrath of a certain section of his fanbase in 2017 after he announced his decision to make ''To the Bone'' -- an album inspired by '80s progressive pop, featuring an upbeat disco-inspired single that contrasted heavily with his characteristically gloomy output. The album, despite not straying ''too'' far from Wilson's usual prog territory and being surprisingly Porcupine Tree-esque, prompted discussion amongst the fans about about what "progressive rock" actually is, and how much change and experimentation it allows for before it becomes something else entirely.

* Music/AvrilLavigne's "Girlfriend" single was decidedly more influenced by pop music than her previous punk rock-y efforts. If one visited the official Website/YouTube upload for said video after its release, you would find nothing but a river of flames, most having to do with how she "sold out". Fans were starting to like her "girly punk" image, she releases the ''extremely'' mainstream "What The Hell".

* Music/{{Metallica}}'s [[Music/MetallicaAlbum self-titled album]] was a shift from thrash metal to a style reminiscent of more traditional heavy metal with a bit of hard rock influence.

To this day you'll more than likely run into someone saying "Cliff Burton Died, Now They Suck" just about anywhere you go. Still others say the band began to stray from their thrash metal roots as early as ''Music/MasterOfPuppets''. Then came ''Load'', ''Reload'' and ''St. Anger'', which effectively drowned the band into a DorkAge.

* Music/{{Queen}}'s 1979-1982 period comes to mind. Music/FreddieMercury grew a [[PornStache moustache]] [[NewerThanTheyThink (no, he didn't always have one, despite what many fans seem to think)]], the band released a [[GratuitousDiscoSequence disco single]] ("Another One Bites The Dust") followed by an even more disco-influenced album (''Hot Space''), incorporated synthesizers into the band after a "No Synths!" tradition in the studio, and in many ways alienated their hard rock fanbase, especially in America. Queen stopped touring in North America after 1982 as a result, and would not have a major hit in America again until "Bohemian Rhapsody" was rereleased and used in the movie ''Film/WaynesWorld'' in 1992 after Freddie's death. It's important to note that the band was never against synthesisers, they just didn't need to use them because they could make their sound effects themselves and wanted to advertise that fact. Brian May said the lack of synths in the 70's had a lot to do with how awful synths sounded at the time. They relaxed the restriction in the 80's because by then synthesizer technology had advanced to where they could actually use them musically instead of just making loud squealy noises. They remained huge in the rest of the world throughout the eighties and up to Freddie's death. The backlash was entirely in the US. "Another One Bites the Dust" is not generally classified as Disco in the [[ValuesDissonance rest of the world]] either.

** The 1999 reissues by Creator/{{EMI}} and Creator/VirginRecords were widely disliked by fans thanks to them removing the bonus tracks from the Creator/{{Rykodisc}} reissues and using heavy noise reduction in the remastering process, which led to complaints about the music sounding thin and brittle. According to former Rykodisc engineer Jeff Rougvie, the sentiment extended to Bowie himself, who gifted people the Rykodisc [=CDs=] instead. Creator/ParlophoneRecords briefly reissued the 1999 remasters in 2014 when they inherited the rights to the Bowie catalog after EMI's dissolution, but they would quickly replace them with new, in-house remasters over the next few years.

* Oh boy, what Music/{{Rush}} suffered from 1982's ''Signals'' to 1991's ''Roll The Bones'' is a story of its own. They just released their most successful album a year earlier with 1981's ''Music/MovingPictures'' and [[WordOfGod Geddy Lee said]] the band could have simply followed up with "Moving Pictures Part 2" and be happy with it, but they wanted to experiment with a new sound. What did they do? Release ''Signals'' and incorporate synth-rock and new wave elements into their music, receiving very mixed reviews from the fans at the time who were expecting their next record to be just as rocking as the last. Their continued to evolve the synth-rock and new wave elements with 1984's ''Grace Under Pressure'', 1985's ''Power Windows'', and 1987's ''Hold Your Fire'', but they also started incorporating pop-rock into their music as well, all while still keeping progressive elements in the mix. Many fans felt ''Grace Under Pressure'' and ''Power Windows'' were good improvements (finding a balance between guitars and keyboards), but by ''Hold Your Fire'' many fans absolutely hated the record at the time for its 1980's pop music sound, having [[AlbumFiller "too much filler"]], and that Lee was spending way too much time on the keyboards that were drowing out Alex Lifeson's, who was play more background textured parts and later expressed some frustration of having to work around the keyboards.

* Given that the band spent the first half of their career in a perpetual state of WereStillRelevantDammit, {{Christian rock}}ers Music/{{Skillet}} were bound to get this, starting out as a {{Grunge}} band with their {{Self Titled|Album}} debut, then adopting a LighterAndSofter [[ElectronicMusic Electronica]] sound (''Hey You, I Love Your Soul'', ''Invincible''), only to then go in a DarkerAndEdgier HeavyMetal direction (''Alien Youth'', ''Collide''). Ironically enough, it was after the band found a stable sound with said ''Collide'' album that they received the most "ItSucks" furor, due to 1) sacrificing their gospelicious, openly Christian lyrics and image with vague, secular crossover allegories and macho rock star personas, and 2) having their sound and songwriting become increasingly commercialized and formulaic on their follow-ups ''Comatose'' and ''Awake''. Both of these, of course, coinciding with their switch from Ardent to AtlanticRecords. [[SellOut Selling Out]]? ExecutiveMeddling? Take your pick.

* ''Music/{{Flyleaf}}'''s second album. The first was vaguely Christian, if not unnoticeably Christian. The newest one, while not [[NotChristianRock confirmed]] [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation to be]], has a more Christian overtone. There's also the calmer tone of it, fitting the theme of the album in sharp contract to the first album which was full of guitars, drums, and screaming.

* If you asked a fan of Music/TheRollingStones what their worst move was, chances are the answer would be when they embraced psychedelia in 1967 with ''Between The Buttons'' and ''Their Satanic Majesties Request''. While this period has it fans, many felt that the band was out of its element. [[CreatorBacklash Even the band themselves thought it was a mistake and, as a result, very few songs from this era are looked back on fondly, let alone played on stage]].

* Music/{{Queen}}'s 1979-1982 period comes to mind. Music/FreddieMercury grew a [[PornStache moustache]] [[NewerThanTheyThink (no, he didn't always have one, despite what many fans seem to think)]], the band released a [[GratuitousDiscoSequence disco single]] ("Another One Bites The Dust") followed by an [[UpToEleven even more disco-influenced]] album (''Hot Space''), incorporated synthesizers into the band after a "No Synths!" tradition in the studio, and in many ways alienated their hard rock fanbase, especially in America. Queen stopped touring in North America after 1982 as a result, and would not have a major hit in America again until "Bohemian Rhapsody" was rereleased and used in the movie ''Film/WaynesWorld'' in 1992 after Freddie's death. It's important to note that the band was never against synthesisers, they just didn't need to use them because they could make their sound effects themselves and wanted to advertise that fact. Brian May said the lack of synths in the 70's had a lot to do with how awful synths sounded at the time. They relaxed the restriction in the 80's because by then synthesizer technology had advanced to where they could actually use them musically instead of just making loud squealy noises. They remained huge in the rest of the world throughout the eighties and up to Freddie's death. The backlash was entirely in the US. "Another One Bites the Dust" is not generally classified as Disco in the [[ValuesDissonance rest of the world]] either.

* When Music/{{Nightwish}} lead vocalist, Tarja Turunen, left the group, she was replaced by Anette Olzon. While the band remains very successful, their more vocal fans are insisting that that Anette sucks and that Nightwish should get Tarja back. Other fans believe the band's style started to change into a more euro-pop genre since Century Child. Averted since Olzon left the band and Floor Jansen joined in. Virtually all the fanbase squeaked in delight at the news, but unfortunately there is still quite a bit of controversy, as while there is no doubt in anyone's mind that Jansen can sing, the band's sound is still trending farther and farther away from where they started.

* Music/TaylorSwift's first album was surprisingly mature in content, especially given her young age, and had a markedly country influence. The second, however, switched to a "teen country-pop" format with songs that wouldn't sound out of place on a Miley Cyrus or Jonas Brothers album. Needless to say, this has caused quite the BrokenBase to form. One half (mostly the younger half) loves the change in tone; for the other half, "Soulless Sell-Out" is one of the ''nicer'' things they have to say about her, and made worse in that, because she writes most of her own songs, she can't even blame ExecutiveMeddling for it. It got worse with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble", both straight-up pop songs which hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This marked the point at which she gave up any pretense of being a country artist and dove straight into pop, a shift which has no doubt alienated just as many fans as it has accumulated.

* In a deleted scene from Music/TheBeatlesAnthology" documentary, the surviving [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] (Music/PaulMcCartney, Music/GeorgeHarrison, and Music/RingoStarr) reunite and reminisce about the first time they met their idol Music/ElvisPresley in 1965. George said he met him again backstage at one of his concerts in the early 70s when he was in his full white cape and jumpsuit wearing glory. While he was awestruck again he didn't like the female backup singers and horn section he now performed with on tour. George said he wished he would have told Elvis: "Just get your jeans on, get your guitar and sing 'That's All Right Mama' and bugger all that other crap!" Ironic considering George Harrison was notorious as someone who wanted to leave his past as a Beatle behind and if a Beatles fan told him he should go reunite with the other Beatles, go back to wearing suits and moptop hair and sing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" again Harrison would have responded with a "F--k off!"
