I'm not quite sure about this (because I don't have their most recent album) but I believe that Explosions in the Sky has been changing a lot lately and progressing musically.

check out the streaming mp3 (the birth and death of the day) on their page here from the new album. i don't have any albums by them yet, but i'm thinking of starting with the new one because that one is so good.

The Who. Started out inspiring punk. Later, suitably complex and experimental rock operas.

Deathspell Omega
Started out as pretty standard-issue black metal, but then got a new vocalist and became very progressive/avant and wrote the best and weirdest black metal songs ever. Now they're so avant-garde that it's almost not black metal anymore...

Bon Jovi started out as sh*ty Arena Soft metal and moved on to an Avant Garde RIO-esque chamber rock outfit. They even changed their names to Höyry Kone in the´90. Sadly they went back to what they used to be...

Also, I have to mention Ulver. They went from pretty rough (not in a good way) black metal to a kind of post-rock... more progressive and just better in general.

I actually heard that Bon Jovi was discovered/produced by an ex-Gentle Gianter. One o' dem Shoe-man bros. Is that true?

Yes, he was discovered by Derek Shulman, and it's true because Wikipedia says it. It's too bad, with that sort of talent backing him, Bon Jovi could have wrote some better material.

I would suggest Queen, may seem as a daft choice consider their leap from experimental prog-related metal to pop-rock, but, they did jump back to a more proggier sound for their last album called Innuendo.
So, they went from being popish (it was their peak of their career) to a proggy last sentence.

I'm going to have to say Kamelot.
Started off as straight up power metal. Their last 3 releases are definitely progressive, however.  |
