You should use biblatex. It has the ability to do this. For my example,
\usepackage[
uniquename=false,
uniquelist=false,
maxcitenames=2,
mincitenames=1,
maxbibnames=200,
minbibnames=1,
natbib=true,
url=false,
doi=false,
isbn=false,
eprint=false,
backref=false,
backend=biber,
style=authoryear-comp,
]{biblatex}
maxcitenames, mincitenames will have to be configured to get what you want
but those two options will allow what you need.
