It’s it just me or there are others.

I was wondering if it is just me that I don’t like the later year works of most singers with amazing voices.

I find that I do not enjoy most of the singing of Aretha, Adele, Sara Vaughan, Whitney Houston…etc. that comes after their initial few album and get them established.

Many female vocalists with great chaps falls prey to their vocal ability and don’t try hard enough? or purchase the rights to good songs.

Feel the same about  great instrumentalists. I think many times when they do their solos they are just self satisfying or just lazy. If it is in the context of the rest of the song, “amazing”, greatly enjoy it but a lots of time they go off in a tangent that has nothing to do with rest of the song.

Just trying to see anybody else feels the same way or should I try to make a greater efforts to appreciate the works of this artists.

I agree with what you've described re: stress/pain leading to inspiration.

I just played some REM from the 80s; Green, Fables of the Reconstruction, and Reckoning. I bought Monster, and Out of Time and then I left the building and stopped rushing out to get the next REM record. The edge they had in those earlier records, not just the 3 I mentioned, had gone by Out of Time. That's just my personal view; I know millions of people bought and thoroughly enjoy the later work. It's just not for me.

I suppose it's a similar story with U2: October, Boy, War, and then Unforgettable Fire was the pivotal record. We then had Joshua Tree which was "ok" but again, I stopped after this for the same reasons as with REM.

There are probably dozens of similar examples
