The Beatles released 6 studio albums in the US in 1964:

Introducing The Beatles - 10 January 1964 - through Vee Jay
Meet the Beatles! - 20 January 1964 - Capitol
The Beatles' Second Album - 10 April 1964 - Capitol
A Hard Day's Night - 26 June 1964 - United Artists
Something New - 20 July 1964 - Capitol
Beatles '65 - 15 December 1964 - Capitol

crazy times!

They really released only 3 albums in (almost) that year of 1964 in the UK
With The Beatles - 22 Nov 1963
A Hard Day's Night - 10 July 1964
Beatles For Sale - 4 December 1964

any further proof of the greateness of that group should IMMEDIATELY be dispelled if you look closely at that post.

yeah.. 6 albums in a year.. yeah yeah yeah...

What band gets away with calling their 3rd.. their 2nd.. only because they had the balls to release TWO albums introducing themselves..

not to mention releasing Beatles 65'... in 1964... they weren't merely the greatest group ever.. the distance between them and whoever might be 2nd (and I'd say The Who) is measured in lightyears man.

Nobody mentioned Buckethead yet? Now, I don't know any music from him, but have seen floods of reviews from time to time and they happened to be all from the same year. I got to counting the ones from the last year a few years ago and he had over a hundred. I have not been paying that much attention at how his rate of releasing albums has been after that.

If you are just counting minutes of released music most CDs released today

would be equal to 2 LPs (or more) back then...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
