Mr. Not Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 What are some side projects / solo projects you find to be good as the musician's most renowned band? often times i find i don't really look into these sorts of projects by the musicians i enjoy unless i'm really obsessed, but in consequence i'm obviously missing out on a lot. I don't listen to david sylvian, and i still don't even know who he really is, but ghostworks introduced me to this album he did with robert fripp. i see it as a calmer, sort of sister album to King Crimson's "discipline/beat/three" 80's trilogy. the first several times i listened to this album i didn't even realize it was entirely live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Ian Thornley of Big Wreck has several solo albums under various 'Thornley' monikers. He's done grunge and folk as a solo artist, so it's certainly adventurous but always within the "rock music" context. Just some random examples. The guy doesn't release B side caliber material, pretty much no stinkers between his solo and Big Wreck output.

stoopid Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I like some of Sting's early solo music, but his output with the Police has held up better for me. Same with Phil Collins, some good early albums then drifted too far into mainstream or adult contemporary for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangy Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Jerry Garcia Band. Or was it the Grateful Dead that was his ace side project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 The Tom Tom Club is a side project of members of the talking heads. Genius of love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Just about anything members of Rush, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, Marillion and King Crimson and John Zorn are involved in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 David Gilmour has made some very worthy albums. Rattle That Lock came out in 2015, I think. Good stuff. Also, On An Island, and the first solo album are great. Monster Magnet did an excellent cover of There's No Way Out Of Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
