Lots of people in bands start new projects either while their current band is still together or after they break-up. Who's your favorite? I tried to list as many as I could think of. Obviously choose the "Other" option if I forgot one that you wanna vote for.

postal service, for sure. only one album even, probably, but it's a damn near perfect album.

Some of these bands are definitely not side projects.

In any case, I also voted for the Postal Service.

yeah. I realized after the fact that Mars Volta and Sparta are stretching the term "side project" a bit. As were a few others on the list. I guess I should have put "Favorite Related Band". haha!

AVA(I know I'm a dick like that) followed very closely by The Postal Service. If Cinematic Sunrise was on this list they would be in the top 3 and even possibly # 1.

A lot of those aren't really side projects.

I opened this assuming I would vote the Almost (cause A G is my freakin hero) until I saw the Mars Volta. They're just too good. Had to go with them.

First of all,

The Mars Volta arent an "other" project.

"Other" in the sense that they only got initial attention as the Mars Volta because they were in ATDI first.

People are forgetting about Jack's Mannequin.

I was really close to picking The Postal Service. But I had to choose Angels & Airwaves.

People are forgetting about Jack's Mannequin.
Oh yeah! Wow. No wonder I felt someone was missing on here.

Anyway, none of Green Day's side projects can come close to +44.

postal service

The Mars Volta hands down, postal service is a good second, but not a close second

recall reality

The Mars Volta... but for an "other" project, they sure have a lot of side projects.

As for actual side projects: The Good Life

Ahh!!! Really tough call between The Mars Volta and Postal Service..... I wouldn't really call TMV a side project, but I went with them anyway...
