Best bands to ever sell out

I would much rather a band change direction and do something a bit different and take a risk than try to stick to the same formula and have the new stuff become uninteligable from the old. My example is: I loved 311's first album and there second one was pretty good also, but then on susequent albums it just became the same song to me over and over.
