That's some bad info there.

List of musicians changed career with better success...
Hi I followed musicians from certain bands that were much higher class and caliber than the band they used to play and here’s my nominees:
1. Mike Stern -- Blood Sweat and Tears reached his prime as virtuoso fusion guitarist and set up quite a few interesting projects
2. John Paul Jones -- Led Zeppelin. He can play various instruments and created great projects especially one with Diamanda Galas which is far more creative than his carreer in Led Zeppelin.
3. Andy Summers -- Police became jazz guitarist and created great albums in 90’s
4. Gary Brooker -- Procol Harum -- pianist and vocal of Procol Harum. His solo albums are more interesting than ones with Procol Harum
5. Colin James Hay -- Men At Work -- multi-instrumentalist, bassist and vocal released very few albums that are definitely beyond the class of Man At Work
6. Steve Stevens -- guitarist who performed with Billy Idol created great solo albums...
7. Finally among the Beatles, I believe the most successful solo career that goes beyond the Beatles I believe belongs to George Harrison.
Welcome to chip-in...

@czarivey Really? He never got radio airplay, not even on college radio. Hell, most people never even heard of the band Japan. When Sylvian played live, he rarely could get any venue >500 seats. Most record stores wouldn't even give him his own plastic divider card. IMHO, that is UNDER-appreciated considering his great talent, both musically and as a singer. Sometimes I think you just enjoy disagreeing. Cheers, Spencer |

The venues he booked were always full EVERY time I purchased ticket for his live performance. Similar to David Sylvian, I went to Nina Hagen who performed at substantially smaller venue Joe's pub and another time Coney Island High in NYC. Both of these standing venues were full of people... I remember her lipstick smooch on my cheek after flowers and signature on my records :-) This under-appreciation than is I guess typical for all obscure bands. I might not disagree, but perhaps lost in definition. Now I know that bands or artists that never got into radio play are all UNDER-appreciated right? |
