But music remains music and the principal remains the same regardless of genre. Be it, The Eagles, Toto, ZZ Top, The Rolling Stones, even Neil Diamond etc etc.. A band or artist does well when it manages over time to remain somewhat connected to the sound that made it the band/artist that it is.
Iron Maiden may be a metal band but I love them in the same way as I love early Bon Jovi material but the difference is that even since 2000, when Iron Maiden has released a new album I've been happy to give it a spin and will likely find a few tracks that I like. Bon Jovi, I'm at the point that I don't even bother since for too many years the band is completely different from the era that put its name on the map...
