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

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.

Shame he also lost that brilliant operatic voice as well... |
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.

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.

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...

that sounds pretty cool. i guess there's another band i have to look up now.

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

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.

I'm not a Led Zep fan at all, but their music did get more interesting and experimental over the years.
Although fairly progressive from the start, Hendrix's music became more progressive over the course of his short career.
Bowie would be a good example of someone shifting between pop and progressive many times over the course of his career.
Miles' music became more and more progressive till his creativity peaked in the mid-70s, and then he gradually became more pop, but with a strong progressive influence.

Incubus. They started off as trendy nu-metal (but with nice little extras), went into more melodic hard rock, then started experimenting with prog before diving headlong into Avant-ish prog-ish rock. They do extended versions of their songs live with longer solos and improvisations.
Deftones took a more subtle and abstract approach to progress but one can definitely hear the change on their albums. First one was horrible, the second one was light-years better, the third was spectacular, the fourth wasn't as good but had great ideas, and the newest one sounds like dreamy post-metal.
