Honestly, I can’t think of _any_ “projects” other than the “Alan Parsons Project.” (And I have a vague familiarity with the Octopus Project). Are there really that many out there? ---

The OP hasn’t drifted back around to say which ones do totally suck. Alan Parsons Project is the biggest name on the list, so I assume that’s one he had in mind. Here are some others, not yet mentioned. Ananda Project, [“Breaking Down” (Louie’s Revival Mix)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyqVTdDOE8Q) Kaya Project featuring Omar Farouk, [“Elixir”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xxmWtL9cyY&feature=related) Planet P Project, [“Why Me?”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svl1t4b1RD4&feature=related) “He won’t be back this way until 2010…” ---
