I am glad that I am not the only perso...Good list! I am glad that I am not the only person who ponders these things... also, Sting from the Police! definitely had a pretty good run after they disbanded, especially in the late 80s and 90s. I had a "bootleg" from a show on the "dream of the blue turtle" tour with Branford Marsalis and his jazz ensemble that was pretty spectacular. He wrote some cool songs since the Police and they sounded great when they did Police covers as well. Definitely David Groehl with the Foo Fighters after Nirvana if that qualifies as "solo". I would say it does. Also, Mark Knopfler stuff is pretty good long after his Dire Straits success. Then there is George Harrison, John Lennon, and McCartney with Wings. Especially George Harrison, I read somewhere that he was kind of frustrated that he could not contribute very many songs to the Beatles like he wanted with Lennon/McCartney assuming the role, so when he had the chance it was pretty liberating for him to record All Things Must Pass. ... of course if you are talking about country music, or talking to my mom, you have to include Hootie from the Blowfish in this category now. which is crazy!!!Dave Sonkanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137749129736325161.post-11374158349856853742009-12-17T15:25:30.247-08:002009-12-17T15:25:30.247-08:00Does Alex Chilton count?Does Alex Chilton count?Paul Pirnerhttp://www.contentfarmcreative.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137749129736325161.post-58966868332318289842009-12-16T23:17:09.798-08:002009-12-16T23:17:09.798-08:00I thinks this is a GREAT list!I thinks this is a GREAT list!John Mardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099796542186085672noreply@blogger.com
