AC/DC, Neal Morse
Not a knock on either, but they haven’t changed their formula much over the years |

AC/DC (not prog obviously but you didn't specify)
Ozric Tentacles (maybe not as much as some people seem to think though) Rush (after roll the bones) The Flower Kings (to some degree) I know I've heard others but can't really think of them off the top of my head.

You're right! Ozric Tentacles' albums all sound the same to me too.  Another band whose albums all sound the same to me are Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O.

One of my favorite bands, but 21th century IQ has sounded fairly consistent.

I'm guitarist and songwriter for the prog-related band Mother Bass. Find us at http://www.motherbass.com. I also enter stages throughout the Netherlands performing my poetry.

If you listen to the very first Ozrics album and the most recent I think you can hear an evolution from guitar-driven psychedelic rock to synth-oriented world rock but it took place so gradually that it's barely noticeable when you listen to every album in a row. I still really like some of their work but I'll admit that listening to their entire discography is kind of exhausting for that reason.

REM changed a lot over the course of time. So did the Beatles and probably Green Day. The others I can see though. I would also add Iron Maiden.

I agree about Gentle Giant, except perhaps the last 2 or 3 albums. Their albums are all awesome, complicated, contemporary-classical-infused prog rock. Not to say that they're identical, but I think the stylistic differences between albums isn't as much as the differences between songs on the same album.

Yes they are. More younger prog fans need to discover them too. They have sort of been lost in the sauce. Plus they need a new album.

Though I don’t agree about Gentle Giant, I think everyone can admit that nobody else REALLY sounds like gentle giant

As much as I love the Moody Blues, their big 7 albums are pretty uniform, especially compared to most other bands' output over 7 albums

Well, jeez, you could probably say the first several Black Sabbath albums sounded a lot alike too then. I think the Moodies were at least as diverse as BS though.
