Worst "going solo" decisions in rock history?

[manifold]

OK, question. Genesis. Are you Team Peter or Team Phil?

I think they both suck equally.

 

[strollingbones]

some of the new stuff is kick ass...but who goes to concerts anymore?

But then again, you do like the Butthole Surfers, so I guess I should pity you rather than condemn you.

 

[tigerbob]

Oh, my bad. That was Bones wasn't it?

Oh well anyway.

There is good music from every generation if you bother to look.

In some you have to look harder than others. The 1980s was mostly tundra.

"Nanook, the only way you can get it fixed up is to go. Trudging across the tundra. Mile after mile. Trudging across the tundra ...:

Love is blind.

And deaf.

Rob Zombie is one I'd add to the list. I know he's done well commercially, but IMO White Zombie = Kick Ass, Rob Zombie solo = Horrible techno rip-off of White Zombie.

 

[Modbert]

Since when have we considered Yoko Ono a musician? Did I miss that memo?

the worst "going solo" example of all time has gotta be "and the pips"

Those pips are nothing without Gladys.

Seriously, after they broke up, "And the pips" came on some late night show and sang Heard it on the Grapevine without the soloist.

It was one of the funniest things I ever saw.

They sang their parts and danced as always, but whenever Gladys' part came on, it was silent.

Try to imagine what it sounded like with only And the Pips and no Gladys.
