    A few more:
     A band that was together a long time until Fred Cole passed away in 2017:  Dead Moon
    A lesser known band but been around a long time and has recorded 14 albums:  Carlton Melton

    And I would have thought Joy Division but they did briefly have a different drummer.  Close, but not cigar.

    Does CSN and CSN&Y count?

    if it’s two separate groups it counts twice. If it’s one  group that adds and subtracts a 4th it should count as the original group remains no one was replaced

    U2 did have a 5th member originally, Edge's brother Dik Evans.
    He left before they did anything of note (I believe even before they switched their name to U2), so they should still count. But just a little added info.

    I think both versions used multiple drummers.

    A dozen drummers and 14 bass players  for CSNY!

    A lesser known excellent band that released a half dozen or so albums was The New York Rock and Roll Ensemble.  Michael Kamen (R.I.P.) was a member of this band who went on to become a very successful composer, particularly for film scores.

    Thread was started in 2017...I wonder how many of the bands listed are still true in 2024. I know that my contribution, Toad the Wet Sprocket, no longer has Randy Guss.on drums.

    I guess they get crossed off the list now after the death of Dusty Hill and hand-picked replacement by his bass tech.

    Apparently Muse hasn't changed any band members. They have had touring members but kept their original lineup.

    Manic Street Preachers

    Continued as a 3-piece after Richey’s disappearance, have included touring musicians but never replaced him.

    Silversun Pickups. They did have two members who left a few years before their debut album was released, but other than that they've kept the same lineup.
