Arcadia, Down, Tones on Tail, Mad Season, Tom Tom Club, any other side project bands with one classic album? points if that band made only one album. Mike Patton bands don't count.

I really liked these:


The Glove - Blue Sunshine (The Cure's Robert Smith and The Banshees' Steven Severin)


Max Q - Max Q (INXS' Michael Hutchence and Whirlybird's Ollie Olsen)


Demonix - Never Felt So Alive (Christian Death's Gitane Demone and A Split Second's Marc Ickx)


Murderdolls - Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls (Slipknot's Joey Jordison, Static X's Tripp Eisen among others)

All one album only.

There are of course others that have recorded multiple albums that I like: The Creatures (Siouxsie And The Banshees), A Perfect Circle (Tool), Transplants (Rancid)...I'll try and think of some more.

Sweet76 (i THINK that was the name of Krist Novaselic's band) and of course dave grohl's side project, probot.

Classic, if you think about it, Mother Love Bone only had one album, but it was Stone's Gossards next band after Green River, until wood, enter Pearl Jam.

Al Jourgensen had quite a cottage industry of side projects going for a while...Revolting Cocks, Acid Horse, 1000 Homo DJs and so on.

The same statement could apply to what's-his-name from Magnetic Fields - He's also recorded as The Gothic Archies, Future Bible Heroes and The Sixths.

Tom Tom Club.

I'm still waiting for that Buck Satan & The 666 Shooters record.

lilgish said:

Which Down album is the classic one?

lilgish said:

I really like it, probably moreso because it sounds more like Pearl Jam than Soundgarden.

Definitely an album that deserved a larger audience.

Nola.

Down II isn't good?

the raconteurs

Does Shakespeare's Sisters count?

Gorillaz

Asia



Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions (great album!)

by that time everything Pantera had lost it's coolness.

sosgemini said:

I see a side project as an album released by an artist or artists while their more popular bands are on haitus. I think Siobhan Fahey had already left Bananarama by then so Shakespeare's Sister isn't a real side project.

cool beans.

S.O.D

Funny, as I saw this thread I was listening to The Anvil by Visage. That and their self titled debut are both classic albums.

Better than pretty much anything by 'main band' Ultravox, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, the only song I like is Fade to Grey. But that song is better than anything I've heard from Ultravox. Incidentally is your name nightporter, taken from the Charlotte Rampling movie?

lilgish said:

Actually, it's a song from the Japan album Gentlemen Take Polaroids. The song may be named after the movie, though. That's David Sylvian in my avatar, by the way.
