The Minus 5
nescience:
Steely fucking Dan. Ha-HA!
KharBevNor:
This model is actually the standard mode for Neo-Folk. I cannot at this moment think of one Neo-Folk group, especially not one major one, that is not driven by a single creative force surrounded by a slew of semi-anonymous supporting musicians: Dave Tibet for Current 93, Tony Wakeford for Sol Invictus, Douglas Pearce for Death in June, Kim Larsen for :Of The Wand and the Moon:, etc. etc. The only ones with fixed membership are mainly solo projects or romantically involved/family duos like The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud and Changes. You also find this thing a lot in progressive metal, though it's more likely there to set up a different band-name for each line-up (This is why Dan Swano has been a member of about 30 or more different bands. Most, frankly, are just him bossing round different groups of musicians in different genres.) See also Arjen Lucassen and Devin Townsend.
soap:
hawkwind are kings of the no fixed line-up policy too... i reckon there are times where you could see them twice on the same tour and it might not be the same band (beyond the brock/chadwick/davey core they're established this past decade).
they even managed to get rid of the 'main man' dave brock once, so he started his own new band comprised entirely of some of the hawkwind members that didn't happen to be in the 'official' lineup at the time.
Kai:
Oh man, I think Nurse With Wound has quite possibly the biggest rotation ever.
KharBevNor:
Especially if you count the groups they've collaborated with on various things.
Easily over a hundred different past members.
