I think you have to make a distinction between progression and selling out....by some of these standards some would probably include the Beatles and use Abbey Road as an example of them selling out as opposed to the early years.

As reluctant as I am to quote Wikipedia: "A petition that some 1,500 fans signed was posted online.[4] The petition called for Metallica to dump Rock as producer, claiming he had too much influence on the band's sound and musical format.

They didn't sell out. They bought in.
Def Leppard.
First two records were cutting edge new wave British heavy metal (On through the night, High n dry) . Then Pyromania. Curse you Mutt Lange.
