Actually, I've read that Brian Eno's only involvement with 'The Lamb...' is
that Peter Gabriel borrowed his synth for some processing; no actual Eno
contribution whatsoever.

'Tiger Mountain' is the only one of Eno's four "rock" albums that Paul
Rudolph isn't on.  There are some tracks on 'Another Green World' & 'Before
and After Science' that use Rudolph & Collins together as the rhythm
section, however (see my earlier post at: http://listserv.spc.edu/cgi-
bin/wa?A2=ind9912A&L=BOC-L&P=R4078 for a complete list of the Rudolph/Eno
links in which I wrote: "Interesting selection of bands - King Crimson,
Chris Spedding/Sharks, Ian Dury, Velvet Underground, Brand X, Can, Free,
Fairport Convention (and Henry Cow?).").

Another Zappa link would be that Jimmy Carl Black (of the Mothers of
Invention) recorded an album ('Brown and Black' - how's that for
originality?) with Arthur Brown in the 80's, when both were living in Texas.

Not sure about Metallica, but 90% of the grunge bands that had late-
80s/early-90s releases on Sub Pop ...
