Are there any artists with a long and ever changing career for which you try to follow (and appreciate) each musical step they take whatever the album or the band they were playing on and/or in.

These are the ones for me (and I also give their most important band(s)):
- Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees)
- Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü, Sugar)
- Ed Kuepper (The Saints, The Aints)
- Stephen Malkmus (Pavement)
- Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh)
- Steve Wynn (The Dream Syndicate)
- Robert Pollard (Guided by Voices), but this last one is a challenge because he's really prolific.

Dave Grohl
R.E.M. (every so I often Michael Stipe has an interview I'll watch or something)
U2 (read U2 by U2)
Red Hot Chili Peppers (started their autobiography as well)
John Frusciante
Beck
The Beatles (I've read The Anthology as well as seen it)

Basically the bands/artists I grew up with.

I haven't listened to any of his stuff, but apparently Scott Walker has been all over the place, starting at baroque pop in the 60s and ending up with avant-garde music in the 00s and 10s.
I also think that Daft Punk has progressed beautifully (if you ignore Human After All, which was just bad). Going from Homework, an acid-house debut, to an almost electropop Discovery, to Random Access Memories, which is basically disco. I'm sure if you played a song like Get Lucky for a Daft Punk fan in the late 90s they would never guess that it was the same band.

Rather than band members I like to follow the careers of famous session musicians. Usually ones that have long careers dating back to the 60s or seventies. They are on hundreds and sometimes thousands of Records. These were Studio musicians who were called on to play on records for various famous artists. But they are rarely household names like the artist who sessions they played on. Here's just a few examples off the top of my head whose sessions I seek out. if I heard they're on a certain record I'll seek out that record.

Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section
The Wrecking Crew
MFSB
Sly and Robbie
Chuck Rainey
Herbie Flowers
Chris Spedding
David T Walker
Bernard Purdie
Booker T Jones
Steve Cropper
Jeff Porcaro
Ms. Bobbye Hall
Nicky Hopkins
Cornell Dupree
Klaus Voormann
Larry Carlton
Wah Wah Watson
Jim Keltner
Leland Sklar
Danny kortchmar
Ralph McDonald
Hal Blaine
Larry knechtel
Tom Scott
Carol Kaye
Russ Kunkel
Waddy Wachtel
Billy Preston
Curtis Amy
