For example;

Here are all the bands associated with Mike Patton. Of course there are more albums than these, but that would take up to much space.


Angel Dust by Faith No More


California by Mr. Bungle


Nevermen by Nevermen


Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By by Lovage


Peeping Tom by Peeping Tom


The Director's Cut by Fantômas


Mondo Cane by Mike Patton


Bacteria Cult by Kaada/Patton


Anonymous by Tomahawk


Moonchild: Songs Without Words by John Zorn

and two other zorn collaborations, the album "Elegy", and another band called "Hemophiliac".

Oh and a new metal band with Dave Lombardo.

I suppose define prolific.

First that came to mind were Bach and Mozart.

See complete list of works here: (sorry afterhours, I beat you to it)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_c...stian_Bach


But then I started thinking modern day and I thought:
Bob Dylan
Paul Simon
Paul McCartney

Artists that have (or did) create a ridiculous amount of music in their lifetime, or in a concentrated period.

Hard to top Omar Rodríguez-López, of At The Drive-In and Mars Volta fame.

In addition to the above, Bosnian Rainbows, & Antemasque, his solo project has churned out over 40 albums since the mid-2000s, over 20 of which have been in the last two years.

The only one I wouldn't consider a prolific of this list is Paul Simon considering he's had a 50-year career he's only made a handful of albums. I mean Studio albums, only about eight or nine I think

Im not sure, but it might be a jazz or country artist that have had one of those long careers and worked in the days when artists were under contract to make more than one album per year.I know back in the 60s and 70s most country artists put out two or three albums per year, For example, Loretta Lynn has made 54 studio albums. And Conway Twitty has made 67 Studio albums

Didn't Buckethead make like 60 albums in one year and then 50 in the next one?
