Fairport Convention (prog-related) actually released 3 studio albums in 1969. 1. What We Did On Our Holidays (released January 1969) 2. Unhalfbricking (released July 1969) 3. Liege and Lief (released December 1969) An amazing feat. All brilliant albums (IMHO) and#3 is a masterpiece (IMHO). |

nice.. saved everyone a Mickdiatribe for overlooking that. For all the forum wreckage that duality caused. Act 1 of the Micky-Ivan forum wars was the fight over the release date of Fragle. After pages and pages of dueling red and blue font I won... and got the release date changed from what it had been (1972 when it was released in the States) to 1971 when it was released in Englamd. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Van der Graaf Generator-The least we can do is wave to each other and H to He who am the only one. Both from 1970. Also from that year two King Crimson albums: In the wake of Poseidon and Lizard. Of course Frank Zappa released two albums(if not more)in a single year. Off the top of my head he had Joe's Garage and Sheik Yerbouti(both from1979). I know that's kind of cheating since the latter was recorded mostly live with much of the crowd sound edited out. If not a big deal then we can also count King Crimson's Red and Starless and Bible Black(both from 1974 and another album where the applause was filtered out on the live tracks). |

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. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

| 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. |

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.

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. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

True, although bands these days seem to take longer and longer gaps between releasing albums.

| 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" |
