Jim's played on other bands' albums, e.g. he's credited with keyboards (not producer) on No Sweat's eponymous 1990 debut. Michael Sadler also did some backup vocals on it.

Jim also did some synth programming on Magnum's Goodnight L.A. (released the same year, in 1990).

This is a tough assignment! 

I immediately thought of Daevid Allen of Gong, but he did have Soft Machine and a few other collaborations in his background. 

RIP Daevid, you were amazing! Cry

Alex Lifeson - Rush


Edit: No, sorry. Jon Field played flute on Tubular Bells.

Unlike Rothery, I don't think he did anything else other than Marillion


He played on at least 3 albums of John Wesley.
Then he played with DeeExpus, Edison's Children, Nektar and Ayreon. Wink

Yes, on the Magnum, I did. LOL!

But Jim's still way back in line compared to other prog guys (and Saga is ending, while Eloy, Kraftwerk and Hawkwind are still truckin').

yeah. But Saga only recently called it quits. Who knows, they will return.
On the other hand, 40 years in the same band, touring and recording is quite something!

Alex has guested on a few albums by other artists (I Mother Earth, Platinum Blonde, Gowan, Tom Cochrane, Porcupine Tree, and more recently on new albums by Marco Minnemann and Fu Manchu), and he's recorded some one-off tunes as a member of the Big Dirty Band and Bubbles & The Sh*t Rockers.

He also released a side/solo album under the name Victor about 20 years back with the singer from I Mother Earth.
