As a massive music nerd, I can think of very few bands who have played for over 50 years and keep on reinventing themselves.
Most bands decline over the years, but not King Crimson. That said, I have to say the double trio lineup is my favorite era of theirs.
The only other band that IMO comes close in keeping high quality for 50 years is probably Magma. The only difference is that they're mostly staying the same (not in a bad way, mind you), and not necessarily reinventing themselves. Instead they're just getting more refined.
