Lou Reed and John Cale both produced excellent solo material after The Velvet Underground dismembered.

I think Ian Gillan's solo career has been largely overlooked in the U.S. From the fusion leanings of The Ian Gillan Band to the straight rock/metal of Gillan I dare to say his solo stuff is as good as Blackmore's Rainbow or Whitesnake.

LOL @ the person who said David Lee Roth. His solo stuff blows even harder than Van Halen, something which I thought was impossible to achieve.

Paul McCartney.....without a doubt the most successful as a solo artist.

next would have to be George Harrison then Eric Clapton.

Honorable mention to Peter Gabriel and Robert Plant.

I've gotta go with Eric Clapton on this one. He was amazing.

Clapton is amazing! They don't call him "slow hand" for nothing

Neil Young would have to be on the short list.
