Unless Bowie doesn't count? David Bowie's mostly known for being solo. He's a rare case that had a reverse of that with Tin Machine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a phenomenal effort. Great call! Another wanker that just puts out great solo album after great solo album. This debut, the follow-up Nothing Like the Sun, Mercury Falling and Brand New Day all get regular play from me to this day. I especially like those last two late career efforts. I guess that rounds out my top ten! Listened to NLtS yesterday oddly enough and it's one of the first albums I owned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took "solo" to mean folks that are known for being part of a band and then broke off on side projects or quit altogether. 🤔 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Bowie doesn't count? I kinda ignored Bowie as he has pretty much always been solo. (I know I included Neil Young but he started out as a member of Buffalo Springfield so I considered him valid). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 This is a great thread - giving me some thought about solo work I have forgotten or never knew about in the first place. I can't think of a top 10... but one I really like is Joe Walsh's Analog Man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_Man_(album) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Bowie doesn't count? I quite agree. If Bowie was considered a solo artist (from another band, etc.), my top 10 would be all Bowie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Bowie doesn't count? Hi EP , 🤔 nope sorry I don’t think on this occasion you can have Bowie ! 🙃😮 it’s really more solo artists who are more famous/well known ( at least intially ) for being part of a group. 🤔 What are you favourite Freddie , Brian , Roger solo albums ? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep , I’ve got both of them 👍😎 ( I was just keeping to only 1 album per solo artist who is normally more well known as being just part of a successful group ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
