Who are some experimental artists/bands who were commerically successful on release (rather than say, Velvet Underground, who became commercially successful after splitting up)
PiL are probably the most experimental band I can think of to consistently chart well in the charts. I think only one single in their early incarnation missed the top 30
jimi hendrix, black sabbath, skrillex
Radiohead
