Best bands to ever sell out

I'm not so much annoyed at "selling out", but when a band has a great album then totally changes direction with the next one in a crappy way.

Beck's "Mutations" album pisses me off. As does Reel Big Fish's later stuff. Incubus' last effort was ok but not really what I wanted. Hell, Michael Jackson's "Invincible" album sucked ass. Although he didn't change direction, he just got totally unoriginal.

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.
