Live, definitely. But by their 4th album Road to Ruin, they expanded their sound significantly in the studio with guitar leads (played by Ed Stasium) and later added a dash of hardcore (e.g., Warthog).
You mean their stuff still sounds like Pictures of Matchstick Men?
They were my first thought (the only time they varied a lot from their basic sound was when Phil Spector produced that one album. Acoustic guitars on a RAMONES album?!? WTF?)
The Ventures stayed very true to their sound also, except for a while in the late seventies when they went disco on some tracks.

...if they started in the mid 1950's or later, maybe. But the Muddy Waters of the 1940's was a whole different world than the Muddy of the 60's. I guess it had something to do with the invention of the electric guitar coinciding with a lot of these bluesmen taking the trip up the Mississippi toward Chicago.
It wasn't really the invention of the electric guitar, amplified guitars had been around since the 30's, Muddy got his first in 1945. Early songs like I can't Be Satisfied had electric guitar on them. The solid body was established in the early fifties, but that wasn't really it either. Many bluesmen still used hollow bodies after.
It was more just a natural progression towards rowdier, more aggressive playing, due in large part to the types of crowds they played for. After rock n' roll came about in 1954-'55, they went even more in that direction, and Muddy started to do songs like Mannish Boy, the sound of which was heavily influenced by the rock n' roll from the previous year or so.

Almost every bluesman ever. I don't think it's necessarily a good thing to never change your sound, I mean, I enjoy AC/DC but once you've heard one album you've heard them all.[/quote
No you haven't.
