What are some rock artists that changed directions and went pop for an album, or even longer?

When a musical artist is around for a certain amount of time, it’s only natural that they’ll want to progress by experimenting with different sounds and dabbling in what’s popular. However, many within the rock and metal world are shunned for taking such a step.

Technically, “pop” is just short for popular, but over the years the idea of it as a genre has changed. It typically describes heavily produced, upbeat music that’s played on Top 40 radio stations, and it’s typically used in a derogatory way by heavy music fans.

If you really want to get deep with it, then there are a lot of musicians in our world that could have been considered “pop” at one point because that was the predominant style of music at the time.

In this list, we examine artists that had a noticeable shift in sound to something softer, maybe more computerized and complemented with more effects. Scroll below to see our picks.
