When did they "jump the shark"?

How about some examples of when some of our faves jumped the shark & never came back? Some that come to my mind are:
the Clash "Combat Rock"
the Jam "Sound Effects"
the English Beat after the first LP
ditto for the Specials
Blondie with "Autoamerican"
Wall of Voodoo after Stan Ridgway left
Black Flag with "My War"
