Of course the issue is who was "key". In CCR's case, it was clear cut, but what about The Who going forward after John Entwhistle died? I mean, he's not the primary composer like Townshend, or the vocalist like Daltrey.... but he still really added something to what the band was.
Another clear cut case in my mind is Ray Manzarek's attempt to tour as "The Doors". Bleh. I think that's so fraudulent. Just as I would think it would have been impossible to have a Beatles' reunion without any of the Fab Four. (And no, those songs the others recorded over John Lennon tracks don't count as Beatles records, in my mind : >)
