John Lennon, clearly. The rest of the Beatles managed some decent stuff, but John? Tedious whiny 6th form crap.

And my new hero is Andrew Ridgely ๐Ÿ™‚

He was responsible for "Imagine". No pass available.

I have to say: hats off to Mr Ridgely

He must have spent the last 20 odd years sat watching George Michael make a tit of himself, while laughing his arse off

Not exactly "Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is it.

[music pedant] That was credited solely to Waters (writing) - not sure how much Gilmour had to do with it as it was recorded in the brief priod after he joined and before Syd left - it's the only Floyd track that features both of them on guitar[/music pedant]

EDIT: Although I wouldn't argue with the thrust of your point.

William Reid's solo project was awful, 1 listen then used as an expensive coaster. Clearly needs Jim to kick him into shape.

I haven't read this entire thread, but the best example of the inverse of this has to be David Bowie and Tin Machine.
