Which acts, in your opinion, have NEVER "jumped the shark" musically? Acts that were still producing great music at the end as well as the beginning.
The one that triggered this just appeared on the MP3 here - Talking Heads. "Naked" was a great final album from them, and their previous album, "True Stories" had a couple of corkers on it.
(in one of life's coincidences, the original topic of this thread just appeared next on the MP3 - U2, with "Angel Of Harlem")
Hunters and Collectors were still producing great music at the end, and I can't pinpoint an album where I thought, yep, that's it from them.

No, H&C certainly jumped the shark right after Human Frailty. Prior to this H&C released groundbreaking avant-garde art-rock music. Everything since Human Frailty was pub-jukebox bogan-rock music.

I reckon they did it the moment they formed.
