It does come down to talent, there isn't much to debate on this.
There are different ways to look at it, though. Someone mentioned, rightly, people like Beck, who often tend to have 10 tracks on an album and a good 7 of them are in diffrent styles, generally all shite. Then you have people who change style with every album they put out, sometimes successfully, sometimes less so.
What about those who suddenly go from having played in fairly the same style for years to a complete change of direction?
What about people like Prince?
What about the funk marathons tinted with jazz/rock etc etc etc? Are those always sexy?
What about us?
