List some bands that were good at first, then overtime turned into crap

I laugh because I hear it a lot. A lot of people don't like Radiohead being different. I do. Kid A seems so far removed from Ok Computer, and I like it that way. Their last few albums haven't been as popular, and I think the band likes it that way. They have a fan base that appreciates their music already, so they don't need to put out another Ok Computer or The Bends like the media seems to expect them to.

As for their music being "depressing", (if you want) you can stretch that back to the beginning. Creep, Street Spirit, Bulletproof (I Wish I was), Thinking About You...all can be labeled as "depressing". As for their songs being "shit", that's an opinion you have full right to have. I happen to think some of the songs off their last album are some of the best stuff they have ever written (Wolf at the Door, Scatterbrain, There There). They put on easily one of the best live shows I have ever seen, and that show completely changed their new stuff for me. I didn't like Scatterbrain until I heard it live, and now I almost never skip it on random.

So, to each his own. I live and die by them, and they were the first band I ever obsessed over. So of course I laugh when people say that Radiohead haven't been good in a long time, because their opinion isn't going to change how I feel about them.
