ETERNAL SLAP-FIGHT of the PREPOSTEROUSLY PROLIFIC

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Unscientific and inexact accounting of albums/songs (based in large part on my iTunes library)...an "album" counting as a collection of four or more songs recorded live or in the studio, the majority of which were previously unavailable, incl. Buffalo Springfield, CSNY, Traveling Wilburys, soundtracks, etc. (Pollard's # includes 20 EP's and recordings by Nightwalker, Lexo & The Leapers & Boston Spaceships.) This sorta requires accepting the artist on his own merits, in which case come to think of it Jandek wins in a landslide or maybe doesn't really belong here....

SO, which of these sleepwalking idiots savant has the HIGHEST "HIT"-TO-MISS RATIO?

Neil. Admittedly I've never heard Jandek.

No Mark E. Smith?

No Conrad Schnitzler, no credibility

Was expecting this to be an Acid Mothers Temple poll TBH. A billion different albums in the past dozen years, four albums already in 2009.

OMG, that is a truly BIZARRE omission, in light of the fact MES is my favorite among all these...shld include 2 solo recordings + Von Sudenfed.

Mods, can you please add Mark E. Smith (32 years: 34 albums/380 songs)?

― Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 14:54 (seventeen years ago)

Jandek and Pollard are prolific, I wouldn't say the other two were

Prolific ~ more than one album a year?

Boooooo

I think I need to re-do this then?

as a pollard dickrider i think it's pretty safe to say that he isn't the right answer here

Well, Bob Dylan has the biggest hits. I don't know if his worst (excl Dylan/Dead, live albums) are exactly terrible, but I'm not qualified to comment on the rest.

Pls blow this clambake for NEW IMPROVED poll...
