Re: The best 'solo' album...?
Members of the Replacements have all put out decent solo albums.
Paul Westerberg, obviously.
Chris Mars - Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is great and he's put out a couple others.
Tommy Stinson - Village Gorilla Head and is lead singer and guitarist in Bash & Pop
Slim Dunlap - The Old New Me and Times Like This. Unfortunately, he had a bad stroke in 2012.

Agreed, but I think those three going solo was a foregone conclusion.

Danielle Dax - Pop-Eyes, and Jesus Egg That Wept.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Well it was his first without the E Street band wasn’t it? I’m no Brooce expert so is the story about him recording these songs solo as demos without the band a load of hogwash then?
Or do you just hate Nebraska/BS?
