First one that comes to mind for me is Ministry.

From Goth dance Halloween evolving to harder stuff Stigmata to full blown alternative mosh pit metal with thieves

Yellowcard started off as a hardcore band:
Midget Tossing

Jefferson Airplane becoming Jefferson Starship

Sum 41 waffling between pop punk and classic 80’s-style metal.

MCR gradually transitioning from raw hardcore punk in Bullets to theatrical pop music in Danger Days.

I’d say Radiohead is a fairly obvious example.

My Iron Lung

Idioteque

Both great songs by the way

Joe Jackson: broke on the scene as new wave/punk. Went on to a jazz/big band sound. Talented guy.

Genesis went from making totally off the wall prog epics like Back in NYC, The Knife and Supper's Ready to top 40 pop hits like Land of Confusion, I Can't Dance, and Tonight, Tonight, Tonight

Pantera, started on Power Metal but full effect on CFH.

Chili Peppers, starting on Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

Wow... No mention of the most obvious example

Fleetwood Mac started as a hardcore blues band, evolved into pop rock then settled into being a very boring hit machine

Like F Mac, the Bee Gees had 3 totally different sounds:

1. Beatles imitators

2. Soul imitators

3. Disco imitators

If you listen to Bring Me the Horizon on Suicide Season then amo then their new songs with Lil Uzi Vert you would think it was 3 different bands (ignoring Oli’s voice).

For mainstream..

Figured Smashing Pumpkins would've been mentioned, From Siamese Dream to Adore.

The Offspring from Smash to Americana (which was a decline imo)

Beastie Boys with Licensed to Ill and Hello Nasty.

Nine inch nails with pretty hate machine to the fragile

Gary Numan with The Pleasure Principle to Intruder
