Things truly clicked for them in 1980 when their iconic album,British Steel,was released.
With over 50 million albums sold, it’s clear they have discovered their sound.
The original concept was for them to be a hardcore-punk group.
During this time, they even had the opportunity to play with Madonna.
The success was so significant it led them to sign with the newly formed Def Jam Recordings.
Throughout the ’60s and into the ’70s,the band was primarily known for their pop sound.
However, in 1974, when they released their 12th studio album,Mr.
Natural,the band began incorporating elements from the R&B genre into their music.
By 1975, a new sound was established with their record,Main Course.
BothChildren of the WorldandSpirits Having Flownbecame platinum-selling, andthey solidified the band as prominent performers of the disco era.
The Bee Gees demonstrated that adapting to the times can do a band wonders.
Throughout his career, Ronnie Radke has been regarded as one of the most talented vocalists in any genre.
Radke took this band from playing clubs, to now headlining festivals, and performing on the biggest stages.
Everything became much edgier with the major rise of grunge and nu-metal.
AFI was an up-and-coming band at that time, butthey struggled to find an identity.
The band shifted from a focus on hardcore punk to a focus on the post-hardcore genre.
The post-hardcore genre allowed bands to expand on hardcore punk, and AFI did just that.
The 2003 album,Sing the Sorrow,signaled a new era for the band.
This album featured the band’s biggest song to date, “Miss Murder.”
Unfortunately for the band, it wasn’t bringing them the notoriety they desired.
They remained persistent with sound through another release in 1993, and then finally everything changed.
Goo Goo Dolls became a staple of alternative rock and demonstrated why persistence is key.

Deathcore - Alternative Metal
The deathcore genre is an acquired taste.
It’s extreme in nature with vocal screams and instrumentals that will shake the ground.
They spent a few more albums refining their sound, before truly breaking through the mainstream.
Their 2013 album,Sempiternal,became the first album to be gold-certified in the United States.
Their 2013 album,Sempiternal,became the band’s first album to be gold-certified in the United States.
Songs like “Can You Feel My Heart” and “Sleepwalking” propelled them to the next level.
Since then, the band has produced three more studio albums with the latest debuting in 2024.
It’s safe to say their decision to move away from deathcore exclusively paid off enormously.
Today, few remember the singer that put Fleetwood Mac on the map.
Peter Green was once the biggest name in the band before falling away forever.
This included one of the most popular albums of all time,Rumours.
Fleetwood Mac’s career finished strong with three more albums and their legacy was cemented.
It was the 1981Escaperecord that contained “Don’t Stop Believin'.”
It only made sense that Pantera would follow suit, and for many years they did.
Even after adding Phil Anselmo as their lead singer, the band still stayed on the same path.
In 1990, they releasedCowboys from Helland their iconic groove metal sound was established.
