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

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.
