I'll start with some obvious ones.
Will Oldham:
Palace
Palace Songs
Palace Brothers
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Prince Paul

De La Soul
Gravediggaz

Prince:
Prince & the Revolution (Purple Rain, Around The World In A Day and Parade)
Prince & the N.P.G. (Diamonds and Pearls)
Prince & the New Power Generation (o+>)
N.P.G. (Gold *****)
New Power Generation (New Power Soul)
and Prince himself released several albums under his name alone or the symbol: o+>
his side projects:
The Time
Sheila E.
The Family
Madhouse
Ingrid Chavez
Jill Jones
Vanity 6
Apollonia 6
Mayte
Carmen Electra
Eric Leeds
and depending on your definition of "side projects", he's written/produced a ton of songs for other artists, if not the entire albums, like Candy Dulfer, Martika, Rosie Gaines, Taja Sevelle, Dale Bozzio, The Bangles, etc.

Dinosaur Jr, fluff? Are you fucking kidding me? "You're Living All Over Me" and "Bug" are late-80's classics!

Never listened to them in the SST days. I got a SST demo tape and it had a couple of Dinosaur (pre-Jr lawsuit) and I was not knowcked out by them, so I never listened to their stuff. Then of course is the fluff 90s', Feel the Pain exempolifies their stuff to me. Maybe I need to check out their SST collection.
