Name some artists that were in a known band, went solo and make better records as a solo artist. A matter of taste of course.
I sure there are people who prefer say Robert Plant's solo stuff to Led Zep or Frank Black solo to the Pixies or Paul McCartney solo to the Beatles, Mick Jagger to the Stones, David Byrne to talking heads, Sting's smug solo career to the police ect...Actually it's strange when you have a very dominant member of a band, who maybe write most of the songs. Everyone says they are "the band". They go solo..... and it's lame as shit.
Neil Young would be one. Definitley better solo.... Damien Rice, Justin Timberlake....
