As a group that stayed together and still makes good music, consider
Roxy Music, which has Brian Ferry, Phil Manzanera, and Andy Mackay,
all of whom have made good solo albums.  I'd guess their longevity
is due to their breaking up once (for about 2 or 3 years), their
numerous solo projects that allow individual egos to be satisfied,
and that the main tension in the group, between Ferry and Eno, was
resolved early on by Eno's departure.
  On the other hand, I wouldn't consider Roxy a "great" group, though
even their recent albums have some great moments on them.
