by any reasonable measure, from 1965 to 1995, the members of the grateful dead together and solo were the hardest working band in rock and roll history


I thought about the Dead when I made the OP - obviously the range and volume of their lives shows are way up there. But I was submitting Rush as an across the board - studio albums, live albums, compilation albums - their catalogue is beyond massive for a rock band - it defies description. When you combine that with their frequent tours, the relatively high production values of their live shows - their philanthropy - about the only thing they can't claim is significant work with other artists - Lee, Lifeson and Peart - they had very little time for music with other artists, although their are execeptions.

you can say the same thing about the dead

here is a curated discography...massive is an understatement

you got me on live production values, that was never the GD's thing.

philanthropy however WAS the GD's thing
