Strawbs Ghosts was arguably their best album (1975), and later that year came Nomadness, arguably their worst.  They never recovered from this, well, not in the prog era anyway.  One could argue that their releases in the last decade have redeemed their unique prog/folk mix, particularly their latest "The Ferryman's Curse"

True, although bands these days seem to take longer and longer gaps between releasing albums. Quite opposite from the tour-record-tour-record cycle that bands used to follow almost every year (and somehow yielded some excellent albums!)

Yeah, I'm definitely referring to bands that released two or more independent vinyl recordings from the 60's-80's(ish).

This thread took off.

Wishbone Ash released one of their worst albums, Locked In, in 1976. Later that same year they redeemed themselves with New England.

There were many years Tangerine Dream had 2-3 releases (usually a studio/live and a soundtrack), and sometimes they moved up to four:
In 1987, TD had a studio album, Tyger, and no fewer than three soundtracks: Shy People, Three O'clock High, and (the best of the lot that year) Near Dark.

In the late '90s, TD started stacking 'em up. Here's what they released in 1997 alone: Oasis (soundtrack); TimeSquare (the second volume of remixes in the DM series); Ambient Monkeys (newly composed music for play before their shows!), and another live offering, amusingly titled Tournado.

2005 saw TD issue an archival release called Kyoto; the double-live album Rocking Mars; the first revisit of a classic album, Phaedra 2005; and the all-new studio album Jeanne D'Arc.

Embryo were especially productive in 1973 (and great albums too!) - "Steig Aus", "Rocksession" and "We Keep On".

I don't know specific titles off the top of my head but Frank Zappa, Tangerine Dream and Rick Wakeman have all released more than one album in a year. I don't think Mike Oldfield or Vangelis have though(but I could be wrong).

As for Buckethead, I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned earlier also.

At a quick count he released 32 albums in 2013 and about 65 in 2014, so the contest ends here I feel.
 
And for 2015 I lost count somewhere after 100.

Most of the cd:s today that are longer than 50 minutes haven´t got them full of as great music as two sixties-seventies albums...also the lenght of every album mostly was about 45 minutes in the middle of sixties, not 30 minutes as it was in the fifties and the begin of sixties.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard just released FIVE albums last year alone.  I know they're not listed on PA, but their music is pretty progressive and eclectic.  

Flying Microtonal Banana (February)
Murder of the Universe (June)
Sketches of Brunswick East (August) Thumbs Up
Polygondwanaland (November)
Gumboot Soup (December 31st LOL) Thumbs Up
