Do musicians run out of ideas?
It seems like most musicians' best album is their 2nd or 3rd, and they get worse. Is it common for them to simply lose their touch?
That's not what I was talking about. For example, my favorite artist is Billy Joel, and it's generally accepted that he did his best work in the 70s, was decent in the 80s, and his one 90s album was not very good.

I have noticed that myself . I think there is only so much you can create. Some have more in them than others. Some have that one song. Some that one good album. So if you have three or four good albums you are set for life and just have to come to terms with your creativity slipping away, but I'd count my blessing for being more than a one hit wonder.

Often, it is because as a band/singer gets more popular, they are signed to a major label. Most major labels will take some or all of the creative control from the artist. They will have them write and produce songs that sound a lot more generic, in order to sell records.
Obviously, this isn't true in every case, but it is in many.

Most artists have people make songs for them. If they are a true musician, they create it them self.
