I want to say Duke Ellington, but I think he did one record where he sings.
Funny enough their are purist that will even say Robert Johnson was just repeating others earlier work. I think he's great but he also only record a few songs and died young. Billie is a good one. Just her voice makes a song.
/No doubt RJ lifted freely. Doesn't diminish his small catalog.

I agree. I'm just saying it's easier to say everything is great when you only have 20 songs. Not that being black in his time and dying young was easy.
At lot of band like Kool have stood the test of time and have had to change with the times even if it wasn't to my liking. So I'm willing to forgive the "Forever" LP. Leave it to Batmon to shit on Kool and the Gang!
ps
burzum and carol kaye in the same post is the meaning of diverse volumeean-respect!
Thanks. I just love music! Of course most people think I'm nuts when my iTunes is on shuffle and their favorite song gets followed by Silver Apples or the Frogs or Mayhem.
Fun Fact: Brought the Trap Door mix to a Dead Head/Rocker beer pong party just to mess with them......and they loved it!

Da Drum was the album that stopped me in my Herbie tracks....another toe-curling record by a musical great and their less great adult offspring.. What's worth checking after that?
Not so much a case of celebrating the entire catalog as happily forgiving their worst trangressions:

George Benson (he's got a lot to forgive)

Esther Phillips is pretty solid. I was going to do some gospel groups, but decided not to. I wanted to do more jazz people, but the ones I was thinking of have huge catalogs. Ellen McIlwaine has that unlistenable lp on UA and also more recent stuff I have never heard.
Personally, Sonic Youth. I know they get tedious for a lot of people but I always find interesting stuff in the way they fuck with guitar tunings and sounds. Now the side projects, LMSYRT...

im saying though...kng kept churning out classics well past the disco era, but EVERYTHING certainly wasnt dope.
its real real hard imo for artists with over 4-5 records. super strong early ends of the catalog usually take a dive as new eras force changes. the great ones can transition, but rarely with not a clunker
i hated to be boring with jimi, bob, beatles, but they seem to be the solidest over a span.

Nah, they ruined it with a couple of volumes of that 1-7 or whatever it was.
Bands that run for that long inevitably run out of steam.

I know exactly what you're saying about Ellen McIlwaine but she still holds a certain fascination for me. Even the unlistenable stuff ... I guess it's that force of nature thing she has going for her.

sonic youth falls in the opposite category for me. along with frank zappa and the moi, i love most of sonic youth's stuff, but there is alot of crap in between
for me, tribe, galt macdermot and thelonious get pretty much unconditional love

Yeah, I like BH's recordings with strings after her voice was shot. She can do no wrong.

Entire has a new meaning?
Thats what I was going for. His catalog is larger than Willis Alan Ramsey and the RCO All Stars and about the size of BP'sBD.
Gives me a chance to post
The Frogs! Yes!
Should be on my list.
Three fantastic albums. Such a shame he died so young.

Who has heard the entire catalog?
I think I like all the lps I know. Maybe a few eh songs, but can't think of a complete loser.
Come is questionable as a full LP.
evrything i heard up to and including the More Time LP were solid
