The Beatles' twelve albums were released over a period of seven years and two months.

Imagine a band that had done what they did for pop music from January 2019 until today.

I often don't even take note of a good band before they have disbanded.

@mrundkvist you probably need to count the period before they released Please, Please Me, so that it would be 8 years for 12 Albums. Extraordinary.
Think of an artist as influential and what is their <cough> record? Dylan, Cohen, Elton John, ... I think you would need some graphs.
@mrundkvist my wife and I just did some comparison with productivity of Elvis, Buddy Holly, Beach Boys, Dylan. There is obviously a project there. There are several other challenges. One is to name 10 good songs that everyone knows. I suspect the Beatles win (except with audience who say they never produced a good song). The real challenge, as ever, would be the Stones. I suspect it really comes down to Dylan or the Beatles.
