Look at U2's run as well, they have changed their sound a lot, and they are arguably the biggest band in the world, still.

U2 are generally more accepted than Bon Jovi because they don't write shitty love songs for 10 year old girls. That said, I think U2 are overated anyway, and are not a patch on what they used to be. I guess you gotta evolve with the times in order to remain sucessful though. I liked some of the U2 stuff from How to Dismatle an Atomic Bomb a bit like I liked some of the Bon Jovi stuff from HAND, but as albums they are weak compared to their back catalogue. It's good in a way that bands such as Jovi and U2 are still going, but I also think that music lacks the influx of genuine new acts.
