I didn't buy any of the solo projects or offshoots, not even Gorillaz, but I might get Gorillaz, as they seem to be the most successful offshoot band.

I have both Jarvis Cocker solo albums, and I think they're excellent. Neither reached the peaks of my favorite Pulp album, This Is Hardcore, but they're equally as good as We Love Life (which I really enjoy).

I have the two Bernard Butler solo albums, and I think I like them more than any of the Suede albums because I like his voice more than Brett Anderson's. Although the first couple of Suede albums are pretty amazing, so I guess I would classify the Bernard Butler albums as amazing as well. I also have "The Sound Of McAlmont/Butler" album, which is pretty good but never blew me away. The Tears album, with Butler & Anderson, is also pretty good, but not the return to Suede I had hoped for.

Although I have every Blur album except for Think Tank, I never cared enough to get any of their solo/side projects.

I've got all the Blur from Park Life to 13, but I didn't care for Think Tank. The Tears album might be good. I'll try Bernard Butler as well, on your recommendation, Rich.

I like Gorillaz, but for me it really has nothing to do with Albarn's work in Blur...

Hasn't Gorillaz actually outsold Blur? I'm sure they have in the US.
