Who R the most prolific artists of all time?

anybody who *doesn't* produce music in the US market (except for O(+>, he is
the exception).
The US market works differently than all the other markets....artists normally
only come out with an album every three years or so. The United States is the
only country that does this. In other markets around the world the standard is
one album a year....sometimes more.
O(+> went against the standards....he releases at least an album a year. This
makes him look "different" than all the other American artists. But actually
he's just doing the common practice in other markets.......

Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, James Brown, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Prince, and
there are a lot more.

frank zappa released during his lifetime over 50 albums in about 25
years. he's dead now for almost 5 years and still stuff is being
released he worked on before his death..
bowie has been pretty prolific as well, one or two albums a year in
the 70s. he slowed down a lot in the 80s, but gained momentum again
from about 1989.

period, including the few released posthumously (not that much, really -
there's still at least two albums sitting in the vaults that he
completed before his death), which is a pretty good total for someone
who had to fight a number of court cases in his time, had legal battles
with Warner Bros, broke a leg in an assault on stage and had his larynx
crushed at the same time.
It has to be said, though, that much of that material is live, and there
are a number of songs that appear two or three times because of that.
Zappa's great strength though (well, one of them), was making each
version sound unique and worth owning as a seperate entity.

brother but he sure makes us wait years between releases.

JuvenileHi
41 Symphonies
A dozen operas
and millions of other things.
Until the late 80's, most country acts released about three albums a year. I
recently heard Willie Nelson had released over 20 albums in the 60's before he
was even popular. I think he's up to over 100, as is Johnny Cash...
In 1986 Hank Williams Jr released his fiftieth album called "5-0"
Lefty Frizzell recorded between 1950 and 1975. His "Complete" Box set is 12
CD's at over 75 minutes each.
Miles Davis recorded from around 1948 to 1975 non-stop, took a five year break,
then released stuff up until he died. He MUST have at least 70 albums...and
every few months Sony brings out a new boxed set. So far there's the Complete
Plugged Nickel (8 CD's I think?), The Complete Gil Evans sessions (4 CD's? 5
CD's?) The Complete 60's sextet box (6 CD's,) the complete Bitches Brew (out
yeasterday), 4 CD's...
I donno.

yep, the warner bros thing took up about 1 or 2 years of not being
able to release stuff. once that was over though he flooded the market
with several albums. the same goes for the stage assault thing. It
kept him from performing in the second half of 1971 and the first of
1972. he was writing music though. for a few years after that stuff
from that period was still being released.

all true!
there are still two unreleased albums in the vault. and there's the
incredible amount of live material that will hopefully see the light.
but the biggest thing is all those unreleased synclavier songs. I've
heard there's about 500 of them in various states of completion.

amazing. And there's a few tracks on the Mothers of Prevention album that
use it, if memory serves correctly

The album of which JJ speaks is called 'Frank Zappa Meets The Mothers Of
Prevention', in reference to the PRMC hearings at which FZ was a speake/

So there you have it.

Zappa's music was an influence on PFunk too.

great book, even if you're not a fan).

why would he speak out on it? a stickered album at the height of the
record-stickering craze assured you more sales. you get the same album, but
the added mystique and "dirtiness" of a sticker. besides, stickering was
done on a totally volunatary basis by record companies. who's he going to
complain to?
Snow2iger
stickered.
Personally I don't either if it's done with consistent standards. Unfortunately
it's not.
