At the start of their careers lots of artists had a talent and music credibilty. But a few years down the line they seemed to lose it. Was it one song, an album or a change in style or image that did it?

 

Elton John was once a great singer/songwriter , some of his early songs were classics like ....Your song, rocket man, crocodile rock, Daniel, Saturday nights alright for fighting and goodbye yellowbrick road. But when did he become better known for his costumes/glasses than his music?

 

 

Rod Stewart with hits like Maggie may, you wear it well. Did it all go downhill after Sailing or was it Do you think i'm sexy that did it?

 

Do you agree or not?

 

What other artists started of great then lost it?

i believe that the young have the greatest ideas, many many artists have excellant early material but after their mid twenties we all start to become bland! lol, youth has the cutting edge, age = perhaps more competance as musicians , but they all 'get the disease' once theyve 'made it' and turn out m.o.r. 'adult' boring c**p...lol.. thats why i think music should be youth lead.
