I think that makes him more awesome.
I really never liked Jefferson Airplane...Grace Slick basically just copped Micky Dolenz's vocal riffs, and I just never found any of it all that imaginative. It got worse as they became Starship. Basically manufactured psychadelia.

Yeah I wasn't being serious. Pretty sure that's one of the worst songs ever recorded.
It is kind of funny how they went from the vanguard of tripping-balls, counter-culture psychedlic musicians in the 60's to horribly cheesy, Reagan-Era pop stars in the 80's. Off the top of my head, I'm hard-pressed to find a similar descension.

The exception being AC/DC which has been so consistent for 40+ years you can barely tell when they switch from Bonn Scott to Brian Johnson.

I was thinking more of musicians who completely changed their sound. I'm not sure Springsteen belongs, either.
And, if Bonzo would have lived a bit longer, I'm afraid Zep was on their way to making this list, too.

Aerosmith never didn't suck.
"Train Kept a Rollin' " is pretty sweet. Especially the faked live version drum opening.
Not the Yardbirds but still pretty good.

After Bathing at Baxter's, but the exercise doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
