    Yeah Madness still have the same line-up. Have Radiohead changed over the years? Good question though, will be thinking about this now over the next few days!

    Madness lost original members over the years but they came back and Radiohead have had the same line up since the late 80s.

    A name change doesn't make them a different band.

    But the key thing is when a band actually releases something (album / EP / single), and the members who are there when that happens.

    Likely that most groups will experience at least one member change prior to the first release - can take time to find the "right" bass player, the "right" drummer, etc.
