Musician with more releases than Prince? Hey, can anyone think of a musician who has recorded / released more material than Prince. I don't know how many albums Frank Zappa released, could he have done more. Although maybe Prince has recorded a lot more, just like at the Work. | |

zappa's done a whole lot, yeah. they're still piecing together "new" zappa albums and such, over a decade after his death. johnny cash recorded/released tons of material as well, and they're always digging up new unreleased recordings from his vaults. | |

zappa's album "buffalo" from 2007 counts as "official release number:80" | |

Maybe the question should be more releases than Prince that is worth listening 2. | |

Almost anyone that worked at Motown in the 60s and 70s. They recorded LOTS of material. They are still releasing Marvin Gaye's unreleased stuff. It is said that the Jackson 5 recorded like 500 songs (Corey let me know if I'm correct). [Edited 10/30/07 12:16pm] **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

The Isley Brothers have released a whole bunch of albums. It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

If Prince were to release live CD's you could add at least another 20 to his list. | |

A more interesting question might be , has any musician who is younger than Prince released more new music than him , any ideas ? Check out Chocadelica , updated with Lotusflow3r and MPLSound album lyrics April 2nd 2009 :

Off the top of my head....
James Brown maybe Elvis...though since he's dead, he can't have made any in the poast 20 years. Oh and Nirvana comes real close. That man been dead for over a decade and they're still coming up with albums. j/k  Christian Zombie Vampires | |
