Which musician, who was part of a great band, has produced the worst solo stuff?

STING

Liam Gallagher

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 🙂

John Lennon

But does he not get a pass for Working Class hero?

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

Living in a country house with Keren from Bananarama. He’s done better than most 🙂

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.
