Given that New Order could never be accused of being prolific or hard-working, I was just idly wondering if there are any bands that have put out more material, in total or per-diem, than, say, the Fall?

The Fall have to be up there, "always the same, always different" according to Peelie, but I'd go for the Sun City Girls as having the most releases.......don't think even their most hardcore fans have all of 'em.....
bands like the cure, u2, rolling stones seem to be popping out an album every couple of years, which is far too frequent for my liking.
