Other than Pearl Jam, who else is there?

Agreed but they’ve still completely changed from where they started.

Pearl Jam is a good answer but even they're biggest change(No Code) has minimal songwriting contributions from the two guys who wrote nearly all of the first album.

Most of these are terrible answers. Even Radiohead barely qualifies. Bands like Metallica and Pearl Jam certainly evolved over the decades, and sure there first and last releases are going to sound different on many levels. But they're still operating within the confines of what they've always been.

Only a few examples here are fundamental, intentional shifts from what they started as. (Fleetwood Mac, Beastie Boys, and Tegan and Sara are the best examples, IMO)

How about Kings of Leon? They started out with a pretty unique folk rock sound but have devolved into your standard rock band.

All I know is their sound has changed significantly. I stopped listening to their albums.

I alone will determine whether your band qualifies. No one else.

also, Come Around Sundown is underrated.

Silverchair. Their last album was way different than early stuff. The singer even sang in a much higher voice
