[Dubversion]

I see your Bob Mould and raise you Grant Hart - Husker Du and Nova Mob and solo.

 

[Chorlton]

I have to say that the majority of people on this thread should have stuck to one band rather than inflict themselves on us in various forms.

Kim Deal made GREAT music with more than one band - as did a few of the boston 4ad crowd IIRC (tanya and kristin certainly)

edited to add:
Bruce foxton never made great music with SLF, SLF were a cover band of themselves by the time he joined.


Michael Franti should never have formed spearhead

josh homme and nick oliveri were both in kyuss and qotsa... i could describe either of those bands as pretty great

edited to add: these have all been mentioned on page 2... oops.

The Only Ones didn't actually record anything during the brief period Tilbrook was in them, so hard to claim greatness.
