Oh yeah, another is The Residents.  They have some great albums, but seem to have gone through an extended period when their music was sub par.  I know part of that has to do with their humor, but a lot of their output during the 80s and 90s was unnecessary and they also seem to release everything they record, including incidental music and even background music played during intermission of their shows.  I love the Residents most of the time, but they do tend to wear out some of their jokes.

For a while, Yanni held the crown, hahaha!

Sounds like a Monty Python Skit

There's a compelling theory that 'Close to the Edge' is about being on the toilet with stomach flu:  "rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace.  I get up, I get down..."

I love this topic. I'm so disappointed in myself that I didn't get the metaphor until you explained it

Of the bands/artists I know, I would also pick these two. 

I'm sure many of the old prog guys in their 70s are incontinent.

Yep, the Bucketed One is who I would have said...

As much as I am a fan of his seventies work (and I also like the Retro albums and The New Age trilogy) I would put Rick Wakeman somewhere up there . He has released over a 100 albums and too many boring live albums imo.

Names like Buckethead and Senmuth burp up in my mind when it comes to a diagnosis of artistic dysenteria. 

Tangerine Dream and Frank Zappa also qualify for imodium.

Not mentioned already, Phrozenlight. A man who keeps the percentage of albums without reviews on PA very high. Senmuth is not currently releasing albums. I think he's currently involved in some archeological researches in Egypt.

As creative and different as TD and FZ were, to consider them incontinent, I wold suggest that the presenter has not heard a whole lot, and neither has he/she been aware of the history of the instrumentation to have a better idea of what it was like, not only to put together what they did, but to actually present it on stage.

As for the other two, I have not listened enough even though I saw Buckethead in 1999 in the SF Progressive Music Show, however, I thought then, that he really need some help with his presentation lest half his audience would fall asleep ... and not very good music for some of the monsters in the movie stuff behind him.

Some incontinent ... I suppose that Bob Dylan and Peter Hammill fit ... but we love their words to give a damn about the music!

Well, having remembered Phrozenlight I've seen that his discography wasn't up to date. Since when I stopped updating it in 2016. I have now added about 45 albums and now only 2018 and 2019 (36 albums up to now) are left. Then there are all the singles and the EPs... currently he has 302 full length and exagerately full length albums on Progarchives. 

 

Yes.

 

302!!! That's got to be the winner surely.

Yeah and out of the 218 albums, how many do you think are even worth hearing if any. I've never listened to even 1. 

If Silly Puppy hasn't listened to any of their albums, I ain't getting anywhere near Phrozenlight.

His "concerts" certainly fall under "what cannot be unseen..." 

Not so much frequency of albums, but in producing 2hr CD's with about 40 minutes of actual music.

I have also reviewed a bunch of them. Sometimes he makes something worth, but usually he looks like somebody playing with his equipment and recording everything he does. 

Currently the albums are over 300 and I still have 36 to add. Then there would be some hundreds of singles and EPs, but I'm not sure to be wishing to add all them.

This!

Hawkwind is the most incontinent band of all.

I did a check of their releases on Discogs, and this is what I found:

261 unique releases (albums, singles, compilations, videos, misc) -- not counting re-releases of the same album

1060 different compositions (i.e. named songs)

So, by my calculations, any one release contains only, on average, 1060/261 = 4 new tracks -- the rest being repeats!

It's actually even worse considering that many of the named compositions are actually repeats, but are counted as different because of spelling variations, or errors in Discogs bookkeeping. So there are actually fewer than 1060 unique compositions spread out over the 261 releases.

I mean, consider "Master of the Universe". It appears as 125 different recordings (a total of 351 different tracks) on their 261 releases. Almost one out of two releases will contain this song.

I like Hawkwind's music. I just don't like how they keep recycling the same music over and over.

Sorry but Phrozemlight has more than 300 full length albums (excluding Lives, EPs and compilatioms. It's almost the same track repeated for ages, but this is what the Berlin school sometimes looks like.

There are certainly myriad compilations/collections and live releases, but they do have many wholly unique studio albums, all the way up to the present.

all the ex wives need supporting

no, I definitely meant "incontinent". you should read my initial post; it is all explained there

Perhaps prolific may be more appropriate?

Incontinent has other implications.

I chose the word on purpose. as I said earlier in this thread: I thought this word best described an artist that can't hold back his musical excretions, like an incontinent person can't hold back his/her body excretions

 

Yeah I was noticing Phrozenlight's crazy discography just the other day.  What has he got like 30 new albums so far this year?  It's like a magazine subscription or something.
