I voted Queen, just because your list made me realise how long it's been since I listened to them.

Saga, there is a lot to like in their discography.

I have nothing from John Zorn, and I have taken a pass on actually listening to anything from him, so I will have to pass on that suggestion.

John Zorn.
His discography is huge, so it would make you busy for a while.

I am always lugging a case of CDs around with me wherever I go, but I find myself listening to the iPod, or now just the computer more and more.  Since I am at work much of the time, I lose out on the dynamics of playing at at home on the stereo as loud as I like, but it is still an enjoyable experience to be able to work while I am listening to music that I enjoy.

I'm not familiar with the band Marathon, but reading their bio, they sound like a band that I would enjoy.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

If you listen to the while working it has to be 'light' enough, so I suggest Marillion.
Queen are light but a marathon would include too many rubbish stuff.

Primus. Caught them at a festival just the other day and they were as good as ever. Even prompted me to take my bass of it's stand for the first time in ages.

I voted for Primus. Also, if you have Les' solo stuff and FFFB add it to the marathon. It's all good.


And Holy Mackerel, and Sausage, and CCBBoBB,

CCBBoBB?  I believe it's commonly abbreviated as C2B3, you got an extra B somewhere.

A Who marathon would be nice, I haven't listened to them in a long while. One of my first musical loves.
 
It's very interesting and entertaining to listen full discographies of many of 70s bands because you see how they evolved in so many ways and mature. You really don't see much of that in the 90s and 00s bands.

I mistakenly thought there was a "big."  Been a while since I pulled that one out
