Pantera - for the better they changed from clumsy Hair Metal band to powerful in your face Metal band. Not too much of a change, but more of a fine tuning although those early years could have been a Mega Fail LOL footnote if it were not for what happened.

Two cases of starting off promising then went into the AM Radios of The US in The 70's...

I think that the California Pop band Ambrosia started off a little Prog and then went to their 1970's Top 40 line of hit making after their first couple of albums failed.

Journey - Started off more as a Jazz Fusion-sounding band, and then they brought in Steve Perry.

Then there were Fleetwood Mac, once a Blues based band with Guitarist Peter Green, and Genesis, one a great Prog band with Peter Gabriel on vocals - both bands that did not really have to change what they were doing but line-up changes dictated the more to more Adult Pop, and those have been already talked about before...and you know how I feel despite letting the odd tune here and there off for being reasonably good (damn them, in a good way!)
