Poll question: Hardcore bands that went to crap (inspired by a couple recent threads)
Advertisements [?]
The opinions are not mine, but are what could be for some. I understand that there had to be a natural progression for a lot of these acts, and often that progression worked, but here are a few that come to mind.

Poll result (12 votes)
Corrosion of Comformity (HC to Metal to southern boogie rock) (5 votes, 42%)Vote
Black Flag (did Greg Ginn even show up for "In My Head"?) (1 votes, 8%)Vote
TSOL (turned hair metal in the late 80's) (2 votes, 17%)Vote
Bad Brains (slowed down about 100 bpms and booted HR, for a time) (1 votes, 8%)Vote
Circle Jerks (evolved into boring-ass mid-tempo punk) (1 votes, 8%)Vote
Dead Kennedys (Frankenchrist) (2 votes, 17%)Vote
Add your own. (0 votes, 0%)Vote
