The music of the Rolling Stones also evolved enormously from "December's Children" of 1965:
To "Their Satanic Majesties Request" of 1967:
And then again to "Let It Bleed" in 1971:
"Let It Bleed" also happens to include the track "You Can't Always Get What You Want", which doesn't really fit anywhere within the Stones' catalogue.

As a Stones novice what were the change in styles musically between those albums if you don't mind me asking Fox? When you really like a band you have an ear for this stuff and when I sift through my 40 Licks c.d. I have no complaints but I can only here what I consider the Stones sound. I don't necessarily hear the progression and genre hopping and I think it's cool to hear these things from fans. It tends to get me to listen more closely to artist.

"December's Children" can be considered to be the last of the early Rolling Stones' albums. Like the earlier albums, it mixed hit singles, which by this time were written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards:

"Their Satanic Majesties Request" was very different. It was the Stones' third album in a row since "December's Children" wherein all tracks were Stones' compositions. With "Their Satanic Majesties Request" the Stones fully immersed themselves in the experimental psychedelic sound with which they'd been toying in previous singles such as "19th Nervous Breakdown", "Paint It Black", "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow?", "Ruby Tuesday" and "We Love You". Listen to these tracks which are totally unlike those which they were recording just two years previously:

"Beggars Banquet", the album which followed "Their Satanic Majesties Request", mixed in experimental compositions such as "Sympathy for the Devil", "Salt of the Earth" and "Street Fighting Man" with bluesier compositions of their own such as "Stray Cat Blues", "Parachute Woman" and "No Expectations".
"Let It Bleed", however, was a thoroughly blues infused release with the exception of the "Country Honk" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" tracks (neither of which I like although admittedly they do have their fans). The album is just dripping with blues-rock classics:
The Rolling Stones have basically followed the template they set for themselves with "Let It Bleed' ever since.

Fleetwood Mac started life as a blues rock band.
After Peter Green and then Jeremy Spencer, followed by Danny Kirwan left .. the band that reformed continued to use the name Fleetwood Mac. Only now it was a commercial poppy band which had/has nothing in common with Peter Green's blues rock Fleetwood Mac.
I agree! Fleetwood Mac kept the same name but devolved from a fabulous blues rock band to a middle-of-the-road pop combo.

pink floyd started out as a pop band but once syd barrett got kicked out they never did pop again

How about the (Small) Faces? With Steve Marriott at the helm they went from being a mod, soul loving dance band to a psychedelic pop band. Once Marriott left and Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood came aboard they became a boozy rock and roll party band. They rocked much harder as the Faces, although they did slow it down occasionally with acoustic folk tunes like "Sweet Lady Mary", "Debris" and "Ooh La La".

Def Leppard. Start out as hard rock band, after success and a few albums end up wayyy too soft. Bleh. Waste of talent.
Aerosmith. Has been discussed many times.
Heart. No brainer for most (what ones remain) fans. Begin as talented hard rock outfit, end up bubble gum mush. Worked to pad bank account for a few years, but eventually made the band name somewhat of a joke - synonymous with the word sellout.
