Greatest "mother tree" band?

Mother Tree.... *giggles* I'm not sure if that's a real term...

What I mean is what is the band that you thing had the largest amount of bands and solo careers branch off of it?

Like when a member leaves a band and forms another band or has a solo career, that becomes a branch.

And I confusing anyone?

Hi Sarsar!

Thanks for asking this. You know what I'm gonna say don't You

To me it's two bands, inextricably twined..
Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, joined by a common Producer/Manager (Martin Birch) and a whole lotta personnel intermixture

From them came...
Rainbow
Whitesnake
Ozzy Osbourne
Dio
Alcatrazz
Yngwie Malmsteen
Blue Murder
And many more.

Pink Floyd. Rick Wright put out 2 solo albums and is working on a third. Syd Barrett put out 5. Gilmour did 3 and is working on another. Waters has 6 and even Nick Mason has 2 and wrote a book. While they all didn't leave, they did go on to have separate solo careers.

edit: hey sarah

I'm going with Rodan on this one, a small indie band that released only album, albeit a phenomenal one, around 1993.

The spawn: June of '44, Rachel's, Retsin, The Sonora Pine, The Shipping News, Tara Jane O'Neil, and I'm sure there's a few more I'm missing
