How about Steven Wilson if you count all his projects: Porcupine Tree, No-Man, Bass Communion, IEM, Blackfield, am I missing any?

I forgot about John Wetton. If you add up all the stuff he did, there's quite alot. More than alot of other artists.
As for the band with the most members, Uriah Heep has gone through more than 25 members in the band's history. |
I never counted how many members Hawkwind had throughout their 40 years career, but I am pretty sure the number will about equal the number of years they exist

Including Studio, Live and compilations Zappa has well over a 100 albums. In fact he could probably make 100 excluding compilations.

Perhaps it would be useful to define the criteria. Original studio albums only, or include live albums, compilations, singles, re-releases, repackagings (with new titles) etc.? |

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

By what I know, Pete Namlook, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, John Zorn, Rick Wakeman have humongous discographies.

Prog: Gotta be Tangerine Dream most likely.
Non-Prog: Maybe Merzbow or Wolf Eyes. There are a lot of composers who do music for films which rack up loads of recordings.

John Zorn's deserves mention. Probably not the largest, but he is adding to it often.

not prog, but DJ Screw released near 500 discs/tapes before dying at the tender age of 29.
