Maybe Clapton, Stevie Nicks, or who? Perry had one successful album, Don't Henley has had some, but neither as much as with Journey or the Eagles. Who am I not thinking about?

Michael Jackson. Donny Osmond. Peter Cetera for a bit.

Yeah, he's that reality TV star who started headlining shows way back in the '80s, and has an entire fest named after him. What does that have to do with anything?

Donny Osmond as a solo artists equaled what Donny and Marie did? I seriously don't know.
Peter Cetera had one really good solo album...I do not believe he comes close to what Chicago did. He is essentially where Steve Perry is.

To create a new band. "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" was not a solo venture. That didn't happen until later...and again, he did not have nearly the success as he did with with the Heartbreakers.Joan Jett left The Runaways

I’d never diss the work with the Heartbreakers but Full Moon Fever and Wildflowers, Toms 2 best selling albums, were solo efforts, albeit aided by some of the Heartbreakers.

David Lee Roth
Roger Daltrey

I had it on cassette and it broke. I looked for it again a few years ago and couldn't find it. Not even to download.
