U2, unfortunately

The Cure. Threw in some solid contenders early on but came back full force years later with Disintegration.

I mean... yeah, but a bulk of their popularity was during their pop/rock days

The Cure's most acclaimed album was almost entirely Post-Punk and it had a lot of their most popular singles, so wouldn't they have come closer?

Well JD did not because he
You know
Died

bowie, george michael, ian curtis... heaven must have one hell of a band

They lived on as New Order

Sonic Youth and they weren't even post punk for more than an album

Possibly. But they only got bigger as they moved away from it. By the time they were megastars their post punkiness was totally foregrounded.

Eh, Sister and Daydream Nation could qualify in a perverse sense if Evol does. It's less of a unique statement and more of a transitional record, away from their no wave roots without fully leaving that style behind. The following 2 albums were just following that logical progression.
