A lot of recording artists started out edgy and as they became successful their music became predictable, formulaic and lame. It seems to be a natural cycle. Their were a few exceptions like Bowie. The most notable exception were The Beatles who actually became more avant-garde after they became wildly successful. So it is possible.

yea The Beatles are a pretty rare example in that regard. Most bands definitely don't get weirder as they go. Maybe Radiohead is another example..
