Line 239:
== Music ==
* Many rockers have found success by shifting to country after losing touch with the rock audience. Examples: [[Jerry Lee Lewis]], [[Conway Twitty]], [[Kenny Rogers]], and, to some extent, [[Elvis Presley]].
** Cerys Matthews' first solo album after leaving Catatonia was a country album, ''Cockahoop!''.
** There's also the aptly titled "Country Song" by [[Seether]] (though still much closer to rock overall).
* [[k.d. lang]] shifted genres from country to pop ballads beginning with ''Ingenue''. While she has done quite well as a balladeer, it's hard to say, given her vegetarianism and sexual orientation, whether she jumped out of country or was pushed.
* Apoptygma Berzerk was an EBM band that many considered on par with VNV Nation and Covenant, and in fact was one of the two bands (along with VNV) to initially be considered in the sub-genre of "Futurepop." Now they make indy-sounding electro-rock, similar to the Killers or Shiny Toy Guns.
* [[They Might Be Giants]]. Shifted from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAbZzdalZh4 catchy lyrical pop] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Kgj6EiZtw kid-friendly tunes] and finally to the punky [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CccPPDe2JU "I'm Impressed"] in ''The Else''.
Line 269:
* [[Behemoth]] went from [[Black Metal]] to [[Death Metal|Blackened Death Metal]], and then [[Death Metal]].
* It may be hard to believe, given songs like "I Kissed a Girl" and revealing photo shoots, but [[Katy Perry]] started out as a contemporary Christian singer.
