Styx has few original members. Lynyrd Skynyrd has … none? When is a band still a band? (www.chicagotribune.com)

I would add that also there should also be a connection between the art/music for them to be considered the same band

For example: Black Sabbath only changed their vocalist and they sound like two, quite, different bands. On the other hand, Iron Maiden also changed their vocalist and they sound like the same band with both Dickinson and Di'anno.

Or you look at Pink Floyd, Syd Barret, Roger Waters, Dave Gilmour, all vastly different sounds, yet all Floyd.

Are they really? Im not too familiar with pink floyd but they dont sound that different to me I even have trouble telling which "era" their songs are.

Listen to some truly old albums like Atom Heart Mother. You won't recognize Pink Floyd.

Ok, I see what you mean now. Then I dont know what makes a band "the same band" but I stand with what I said: Ozzy's Sabbath is a different band than Dio's Sabbath lol

Thanks for sharing I have never heard the Sid Barret songs.
