Actually I think anyone who says that being cool is not one of the reason listening to music is so great is being hypocritical.

Few can beat The Cure following up the apocalyptic-gloomy-cold wave-gothic-or-whatever Seventeen Seconds-Faith-Pornography trilogy with a series of shameless pop singles like Let's Go to Bed, The Walk and Lovecats.

Did anyone mention David Bowie ?

How do you rate other people's charts? Or taste in music in general?

The Black Keys - Because of Danger Mouse in Attack & Release turned more poppy
The Rolling Stones - Changed for blues to pop to psychedelia and back to blues again due to Satanic
The Doors - From "The Doors" to white blues because of the failure of The Soft Parade

The Vaccines... they suddenly changed from really nice post-punky three-chord band to indie rocky sensation... I preferred their earlier simplistic era, but they've definitely gotten better at composing and performing.

I see your point here. It's "cool" to listen to the kind of music I listen to, in a different sense than it is "cool" to listen to One Direction and shit. But, my "cool" is culty cool, and it's a better cool in my opinion. And that is just a bonus. But, it's not the reason I listen to music, it just makes it better because I can connect with a few people to talk about the awesomeness of it rather than having the experience lonesomely or universally.

The Who went from power pop to a more classic rock style sound.
Pearl Jam started off as a classic rock inspired alt-rock band but they gradually experimented more and more with their sound.
Nirvana started off as pure grunge with few pop melodies on Bleach, then Kurt decided to show his melodic abilities on Nevermind while still keeping it somewhat heavy, then he made those melodies more low-key, but still apparent on many of his songs, for In Utero.
Led Zeppelin started off as blues rock but became more acoustic for Led Zeppelin III, then becoming more blues rock again for their fourth album.
Rush started off as a cheap knockoff of Led Zeppelin but then started to absorb influences from prog rock, then from more pop-oriented music like new wave and reggae, and they continued to change once they started using synthesizers.

edit:

another one is Queen. They started off as a hard rock band, but then they got more poppy and theatric on Sheer Heart Attack and the appropriately named Night at the Opera, and they eventually became all-out pop by the end of their careers.
