Bands Who Might As Well Have Been Two Different Bands

The group were moving that way with What we did on our holidays and Unhalfbricking with Ashley Hutchings driving them down the folk route.
Unfortunately they never went far enough for Hutchings which was why he eventually left, but at least it brought Dave Pegg into the group.

Although a broad church folk fan, I'd say Full House was a really disappointing album.

I first saw him in 1969 at the Isle of Wight. He was still doing acoustic and electric sets then, but he'd reached a much wider, appreciative audience of him as a performer, without losing his protest roots.

Syd Barret era Pink Floyd to where they ended up later on is quite a radical change musically.

Some bands "grow" and I think that's true of Floyd, it isn't just that when Syd left they changed, they changed/grew all through their career. I think this is possible if you take the fans with you.

A good example of a band that failed to do that was The Stone Roses. Now I liked the second album but all the fans wanted was the first album again. Killed the band creatively. Shame.
