I'm a Metallica fan, but Kirk Hammett's Portals EP is head and shoulders above anything in the Metallica catalogue. I'm hoping he'll do more solo work.
Meaning I like his solo stuff better than Buffalo Springfield or CSNY. Though both of those are also great.
Agree about Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno. Roxy Music is great, but...
I think Steve Hackett's first 4 albums are vastly superior to Genesis' last 4 albums.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
Sol Niger Within by Fredrik Thordendahl's Special Defects. Albeit I -do- consider myself something of a Meshuggah fan.
Mark Hollis' all-acoustic album from '97 almost transcends those last two Talk Talks.
Fabio Zuffanti's La Quarta Vittima from 2014 is in my honest opinion a finer work than anything that ol' dog has done in any other capacity.
Also, I liked David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name more than any CSN(Y), and preferred Dean Martin without Sinatra and for Donny Osmond to not join Motörhead.

How about Steve's last four albums to Genesis' last four albums?I think Steve Hackett's first 4 albums are vastly superior to Genesis' last 4 albums.
Speak for yourself!
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

I don't want to be Mr. Know-it-all who corrects people on minor points, but it was Marie Osmond who joined Motörhead.

I'll take any four -- hell, I'll settle for three -- Steve Hackett albums over Genesis' last four.
Impera littera designata delenda est.
That's one I defenitly agree on.
Yeah.I think Steve Hackett's first 4 albums are vastly superior to Genesis' last 4 albums.
I like Steve Hillage's wonderful solo album Fish Rising more than any Allen-era Gong.
I understood you and agree.
I've got most of Peter Murphy's solo work and I've seen him live several times. However, I don't like any Bauhaus music and I've passed on PM live releases where he just plays Bauhaus material.
I have all of Kevin Moore's solo work - Chroma Key is especially good - but the only Dream Theater album I like (and own) is Train Of Thought.

I prefer the Howland/Imboden Project over Chicago's albums.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
Don't know if this counts, but I think there's a good argument that Ben Folds solo output is better than Ben Folds Five.
The vocalist from Tin Machine has a number of solo albums that are better than the albums that particular band released.
I like Colin Newman's Not To better than anything I've heard by Wire.

I've grown to really love Bruce Soord's Luminesence album but have but have yet to hear any Pineapple Thief album that I like - apart from one song here and there.
Hasse Bruniusson's Flying Food Circus... like it more than any Flower Kings I've heard.
Toto Blanke Spider's Dance over the Association P.C. albums, (could be wrong about this on a re-listen)
Michael Bundt Just Landed Cosmic Kid over Nine Days Wonder, (do like some Nine Days Wonder tho')
Ron Thal Adventures of Bumblefoot over what he did with Guns and Roses
JJ Burnel Euroman Cometh over most, (but maybe not all) Stranglers albums
Richie Kotzen Electric Joy or his first album over Poison or Winery Dogs
First Tolonen album over Tasavallan Presidentii (but haven't heard all the TP stuff)

I agree with:
David Sylvian
Eno
Hackett's 1st 4 solo albums better than anything the band did after he left.
Pekka Pohjola solo being better than Wigwam.
Steve Wilson solo better than P-Tree
This is borderline:
Paolo 'Ske" Botta's - 1000 Autunni is better than any Yugen album
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
I would say the same thing about his L.
Impera littera designata delenda est.
I have been racking my brain trying to think of one, and I finally did. I like Steve Lukather’s “Candyman” album start to finish better than any Toto album start to finish.
