...who would it be?
Jon Hopkins for me.
His music covers so many bases, from soothing ambience to his mellow, folky collaborations with King Creosote, to uplifting electronica and deep beats. The only thing missing from his repertoire is sing-along pop songs, but if I can stretch this hypothetical question to his production I get to throw a bit of Coldplay in the mix for the sing songs 🙂
Prince 😀
Nina Simone or the London Symphony Orchestra (that's cheating isn't it)
Elvis Costello - huge repotire spanning 40 years and still producing new material.
London Symphony Orchestra (that's cheating isn't it)
It is a bit 😆
Vangelis
Edit : But surely this is some sort of hell, even of you like the artist you sure as **** won't within a week or two.
Mumford and Sons
Joe Longthorne
Freddy Fresh, best DJ ever and prolific producer of stuff I like.
Me, I'm crap but I enjoy making crap noises.
Good call for Jon Hopkins, I'm trying to think of anyone else with such an extensive oeuvre, possibly Nils Frahm or Andrew Weatherall.
Steve Earle or Springsteen
TomWaits been listening to him since early 70s and he still keep pushing the envelope

Can I get a reeeewind? but only for 7 days.
Maynard James Keenan
oeuvre
He may not be human but I doubt he lays eggs.
Otis Redding
Kate Bush.
Nightmares on Wax just now.
Hawkwind
often thought this
think it would need to be someone I like (of course) and an artist that has done a range of tempo songs to suit different moods
so id say
Billy Joel - have every album he has done
Springsteen - a huge amount to choose from
Queen - rockier stuff through to slow stuff would suit me
I would even go so far as to choose Bon Jovi - from ballads to rock and everywhere in between
Maynard James Keenan
Good shout, but i'd argue you're cheating if you include all his projects
Coldplay.
Keep coming back to The Beatles
How is "the Beatles" an artist? It's three (and a drummer).

...might get you from Monday to chilling on Sunday, depending on what else you were up to. But I mean, I quite like Bobby Dylan and he's done a lot of stuff but would you only want to hear his voice?
Bob Marley
Prince, Elvis Costello and Otis good calls too.
Maynard James Keenan

I disagree. He is one musical artist. My answer satisfies the question, guv.
It's a bit of a tricky question to answer if you aren't aloud to ignore changing bands and band mates. And the OP references collaborations of his chosen artist so I'm well in the clear 😉
Maynard James Keenan
I could listen to Lateralus for ever and not get bored.
Off topic but have you read his biography? I can't decide if it's some kind of eloborate joke.

Not yet. I'm waiting to see what Santa leaves me. But yes, I can well imagine it isn't your usual biography and perhaps shouldn't be taken literally!
Mike Peters, done it for the last 30 years so think I can manage another 30 🙂
Quirell +1

It's very readable. I'm pretty sure there's an element of humour and lack of seriousness involved.
Depends.
If I had 38 minutes and 26 seconds to live then it would be David Bowie's Low album.
Robert Plant (by which I mean Led Zeppelin really with a dash of Band of Joy)
[i]Mike Peters[/i]!! Mile Peters?! Jeeeezzuzz!
I don't think Binners has taken this as seriously as it deserves!
I think I'd rather die than only listen to one artist ever again, but it'd probably be Underworld if I did.
Joy Division.... not New Order just saying
