Here are five classic prog rock bands with no original members left!
A few years ago, Loudwire looked at 12 awesome rock and metal bands with no original members left (including GWAR, Cattle Decapitation and Thin Lizzy). Obviously, the list featured groups from multiple genres, so we thought it was time to narrow our scope by focusing solely on applicable – and still active – classic progressive rock artists (from the 1970s).
It was shockingly difficult to find even a handful of groups that fit the criteria, either because they’re no longer around or because there’s still at least one person hanging around who was there from the start.

Why? Well, because more often than not, a prog rock band’s greatest and/or most famous lineup isn’t their initial lineup. In fact, it’s not uncommon to see groups shift members once — if not multiple times – before they even enter the studio or play a live show!
