Billy Sherwood has been involved in a whole mountain of bands thru the years, most of them average 2 or 3 studio albums apiece - so many bands, so little time. Jay Schellen often appears in some of these. We're not counting Yes or solo albums, just bands. Some were one-offs, others on-going. Rank the Sherwood bands/projects - or if not up for that, say which ones you enjoyed. Here's mine:
1) Conspiracy - because, well, it's got Chris! studio albums: 2
2) Circa - first and most recent offerings the best. Waiting for more, Tony Kaye is an animal on Hammond. studio albums: 5
3) World Trade - good aor with some 80's Rush elements in places, sporadic releases though. studio albums: 3
4) Arc Of Life - w/ Jon D. Love to hear more from them, with more development. studio albums: 1 so far
5) Citizen - ok, I cheated a little, this is technically solo Billy, but it has a time travel theme and concept angle with some guests. studio albums: 2
6) Prog Collective - first one and a half are really good, if not prog-made-to-order. Tons o' guests. studio albums: 3
7) Yoso - basically Circa with Bobby Kimbal(toto), more Aor, it's a one off. studio albums: 1
8) Fusion Syndicate - like Prog Collective, just instrumental and more in the fusion/funk mode than jazz, actually. studio albums: 1
9) Lodgic - Toto-like 80's Billy. studio albums: 1
10) The Key - 90's rock Billy. studio albums: 1
I'd love to include Exo-X-Xeno (or whatever that's called), his project with Patrick Moraz on 'boards, but so far only a couple of digital singles. So I'll have to wait to rank something like that, but it looks like something that might be slotted above or below Arc Of Life. Which of these Sherwood bands and projects do you enjoy?
