I mean, really now.
-
Example?
-
The Ian Carey Project, or more notably The Alan Parsons Project. It seems to be a way of declaring that your band is not just another band, but a bold musical experiment. Or something. Seems a little pretentious.
-
As opposed to, say, The Alan Parsons "run what ya brung uncoordinated amateur jam"?
=D
-
Huh, until I read this post I could not name a "Project" band. Does that give me bragging rights?
-
Chuck, the Alan Parsons Project is also a "LASER." ;)
-
Huh, I only know of the Alan Parsons Project.
-
Given the results of a search, I do have bragging rights. I will now depart, lest I lose them.
-
What about "The Keith Richards Project"? It's an experiment to see if a human being can literally be pickled.
-
Given his history if Mr Parsons wants to call something he does a "project" I think we oughta just let him. [tinfoil]

Some of the inspiration for my CD is loosely based on the ideas surrounding "The Alan Parsons Project(s)".

It's been a loooooong time since I listened to any of this stuff. Thanks for the memories!

You know, it'd be interesting to get Alan, Jim Steinman, Brian Eno, Brian Wilson, George Clinton, and Todd all in the same room, with a whole buncha talented musicians in the next room over, and see what they could crank together...
-
I'll get to work on it... :lol:
One more;

Except "The Alan Parsons Project" was never a "band", it was a massive collection of artists who collaborated under the guidance (or whatever) of Alan Parsons. Apparently the only track Alan himself did was the voice on "The Raven". Which is how I was influenced by it. I said if Parsons can do it, so can I. Take a concept and hire the best musicians you can find to realize it, that's presactly what I did. ;)
BTW, I think Parsons went crapola once MTV took over the world and the 80's took hold. The first two, Tales and I Robot were the best IMHO. Those were done late 70's pre MTV. I can still remember my favorite record shop guy playing Tales for me the first time. "You gotta hear this" he said. =D

Re: Topic: Important notice regarding Usernames.( http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=24256.0 (http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=24256.0) ), does this mean that fistful will now forever remain "The fistful Projeck?" =D

I think the mods did it to him, actually.
Also, you seem to imply it's some type of ongoing widespread thing then list one band I've never heard of and one collaborative thingy from 30 years ago. Hardly an epidemic. :P

Guilty.

I agree. Two examples isn't even a trend. It's statistically irrelevant. Do you have more examples?
-
TfP says: I can't help it if you squares ain't hip to all the latest music, man. :cool: Besides, don't you cats know how to Google "project" and band"?

'Tis a shame. I was hoping it might stick... >:D

I've never heard of any of these bands you guys speak of.
Only the Alan Parsons Project, which I like.
You guys remind me of the old lady next door who peeks at her neighbors house 24/7. You're just dying to find something to complain about.
Frankly, it disgusts me.
