The "Good bands you can't get into" thread made me think about this.

What bands do you know who started to totally suck once they cleaned up their act? Here's a starter

Never were the same. They started sounding depressed and preachy after cleaning up their act. I still love them, but they're a shell of what they were as a band.

Any others?

Other than Frusciante hadn't they all quit drugs by the time they made this album? More straight than not.

Yeah, but he probably shouldn't count because I always thought that dying was the thing that made him give up drugs.

Absolutely. The guys that recorded "Pump" can't possibly be the same band that made "Rocks".

is he clean? i always loved stp. i made it a mission to see them as many times as possible before he od'd or something cause i always thought it was inevitable. but yeah, i guess velvet revolver ain't as interesting. which is insane to think about considering how it's made up of guys from two of my all time favorite bands.

Power of Equality wasn't preachy?

Tom Waits got better when he quit drinking.

Yeah, you're right. But they were having more fun when they were preachy back then.

Thats because you like artists when they sound more depressed.

How about bands that got better after they started doing drugs?

I think even more of a band quality-killer is when they start having kids.

I wouldnt say Waits sounded any more or less depressed after he quit drinking.
