In a way, they have evolved. Gwen was always on track to be a super-icon. You could just tell. From the days when they would practice in the room next to the band I was working for at the stompbox and bandwest, to bogarts, and even as they got bigger, they became what the public wanted them to be. we cant blame it all on them. kroq and mtv definately played their part also. actually, in my interactions with the band in the last couple years, they seem pretty down to earth and still playing what they believe and feel. even "underneath it all" is a good look into gwen. If they had just done it for the money or to be a couple hit wonder, I would call it selling out. I just think they have grown.
If you want a band that I think is the greatest to sell out, then it would have to be DEVO.
A swiffer commercial, enough said.
but I like their reasoning also. "Why not, we have made our mark, now lets make some money" <----(paraphrasing)
