The leader so far seems to be Ralf Hutter of Kraftwerk, currently at 47 years and counting (their last album was "3-D The Catalogue" in 2017). The next two (verified) are Jean-Michael Jarre and Edgar Froese, each at 45 years. Jarre's streak stopped because he recorded with another band, and Edgar passed away. Some folks suggested other names, but many of those have collaborated outside their band. If you think you have a candidate, please give the exact number of years from their first album to their last album without recording with anyone else.

^ yeah, I forgot about him.
Also worth mentioning is Tony Iommi who kept Sabbath alive for so many years. His collaboration with Glenn Hughes is great, three albums. Seventh star was supposed to be a Iommi solo album, but the powers that be at the record company decided to call that "Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi". One of the dumbest thing ever... Oh well...

Mick Box of Uriah Heep. He only guested on David Byron's solo-albums. He's been with since 1969, and Heep only once almost broke up. Phil Ehart and Rich Williams of Kansas (Phil Ehart only guested once on a Steve Hacket-album, as far as I know, Rich never guested anywhere).
Frank Bornemann of Eloy. Although he is a well-known producer and produced a lot of records, he never guested anywhere and only played in Eloy.

I know, but these albums are extremely Hawkwind-related, so I mentioned him.

John Deacon of Queen, played from 1971 upto 1997 with the band.
He did very few collaborations. Just playing bass on other's albums/singles, but not really part of a group/band.
He did however release a single in 1986 as The Immortals. So that could be considered his mere solo-effort.

John Lees with Barclay James Harvest (and his own version of BJH). He played with the band since 1968, and did only one solo album and played with Mandalaband only once.
Same goes for Les Holroyd (with the other version of the band).

Latimer - did he ever do anything else other than Camel?
Steve Rothery - he's been in Marillion before anyone else, even Kelly. But I guess he doesn't count because he started having some side projects at some point.
Prog artists have side projects at some point, they don't just stick to one band.

How about Pye Hastings?
Did he ever do anything else, then play in Caravan?
Although the band was disbanded 3 three times, but still, he played with them since 1968.

I would say Jim Crichton from Saga. Been there since 1977.
The only collabs he did were producing (he has his own studios) and programming keyboards for other bands (Magnum, Yes, etc.)

If we're sticking with prog, then probably Graeme Edge of the Moody Blues (formed in 1964), Gary Brooker of Procol Harum (1967), or Ian Anderson, if you consider what he still does as being Jethro Tull (1967, although most of the members were playing together under different band names as early as 1964).

Ian Anderson played flute with Honeymoon Suite and Uriah Heep. He did a lot more, but this is out of my head.
Graeme Edge had his own Graeme Edge Band with wich he recorded two albums with Adrian Gurvitz.
Pete Townshend did numerous (great) solo-albums.
Gary Brooker had a lot of solo albums.

I was never very good at reading instructions!
I suppose the above 3 can be discounted because all 3 have collaborated; you'd have to be a real loner if you didn't collaborate with anyone!
Of the 3 above, Andy Powell would probably be the one with least collaborations. He did one guitar solo on Renaissance's Ashes Are Burning album; and he was a guest on an album by a band called Blue Law in the 90s. That's about all I can recall he has done but I am sure there are more.

Robert Fripp, KC 1969-....49 years and still doing it. So to speak! I suppose there were large periods of no KC in those 49 years
Andy Powell Wishbone Ash 1969- cannot think of a year where WA didn't play a concert. Just looked at Wikipedia....no break ever in those 49 years so far.
As far as Ian Anderson with Tull ..... really he doesn't count, seeing he said they were not a band any more in 2012 and suddenly they are again in 2018...just because it's JT's 50 year anniversary!

Came here to say this! I'm sure there are others who have been in bands longer, but he's up there!

Hate to rule him out as he's one of my all time faves, but Gary Brooker played and is credited on George Harrison's, "All Things Must Pass" and the Kate Bush album, "Aerial"
