NOTE: Only works where the artist has made a noteworthy contribution is noted. I won't, for instance, name David Gilmour and Graham Bonnet in the Jon Lord section, even though he does play on one of each of their records. (Flowerpot Men is mentioned because of the link to Nicky Simper. Jon Lord actually only played live with them.)
