I'm going to avoid the obvious Moby joke.
But yes, Mr. James Brown has like some sort of longevity voodoo going on. I think his internals may have been replaced by a cybernetic skeleton and mobility system or something.

How about frank zappa? he appeared on over 70 albums in his career from 1966 to 1993. looking at www.allmusic.com, he had 7 albums out in 1981 alone. Ok there's quite a lot of live stuff, but he did tour relentlessly and still have time to produce other people's albums.. Surely zappa belongs at least in the top 5 busiest musicians of all time?

Only they aren't working anymore, not that it matters but I intended this discussion to be for working musicians, we'd be here for a long time discussing the busiest musicians of all time.

can't believe no one mentioned papa bear... simultaneously had the Grateful Dead and JGB plus all of the other side projects (old and in the way, new riders, saunders, etc) plus guesting on so many influential albums of the psychedelic era...

I would submit B.B. King for the hardest working musician tag. He has been doing about 250 shows a year for DECADES, due to health reasons he usually can't even stand during a show but plays sitting down the entire time, and the shows are still great.

Nirvana spent their younger days working their way round bars etc, really roughing it to be heard. They surely deserve a mention. This is IMO, I don't need anyone telling me that 'Nirvana are shit' etc.
