Artists Who Recorded One-Man-Band Albums

It’s not unusual to hear about a member of a band leaving the group to pursue their own musical journey. For some, it pays off, and for others maybe not so much.

Here are some artists who left their groups and recorded a solo album including playing all instruments heard on their albums, literally becoming “one-man-bands“.

  • Paul McCartney – the Beatles
  • John Fogerty – Creedence Clearwater Revival
  • Phil Collins – Genesis
  • Dave Grohl – Foo Fighters
  • Trent Reznor – Nine Inch Nails
  • Prince – The Revolution

Who is an artist that you think would do well on their own if they left their band?
