Going Solo: Band Members Who Have Proven They Can Go It Alone

Most often, when a band member decides to record a solo album, it means the band is on the verge of breaking up or the member's days in the band are numbered. However, occasionally someone in a band will decide to do a solo gig, but keep the ties to their old band strong. This quiz deals with both sides of that issue.
