they've steadily declined
reached a peak with Blood Sugar Sex Magik, One Hot Minute was great, and things have been going downhill ever since.

Best advert for staying on the smack that I've ever seen.

the popularity of all three is far more understandable than that of Coldplay and U2
and The Strokes and many others.

with Coldplay and U2 it's simple
