Looking forward to "Ostinato", the first solo-album from Stephen W Tayler, who has so many credits on so many albums.

I would love to hear a solo-album by Christoph Noppeney. When I still had some contact with Christian von Grumbkow he told me Christoph Noppeney was working on some music, but that was quite some time ago and it seems never to have materialised.
Although I'm not 100% sure and "Opinions aside"- Brian May's solo output seems pretty mediocre and uninspired. I would have expected a serious album (with his unique guitar arrangements) in more of an orchestral setting. I would love to hear a "dark" Brian May coax misery a tone at a time.

saro cosentino ? He released that in 2014
Kerry Minnear and Dave Stewart. Obviously Dave's would be instrumental, and Kerry's probably largely instrumental.

I remember Allan saying in at least one interview the only reason Warners singed was to "keep Eddie happy". I think he said he had to "smuggle" Paul Williams onto...what was it? Road Games? Anyway, apparently Templeman didn't think much of Williams, and once it was realized that Williams made it onto the record, Allan said that there was "Well, you've been a naughty boy, then, haven't you?" attitude from Templeman.
I wish Terry Kath was still with us and had made a solo album somewhere along the line...
You say Mega Ultra Deluxe Special Limited Edition Extended Autographed 5-LP, 3-CD, 4-DVD, 2-BlueRay, 4-Cassette, five 8-Track, MP4 Download plus Demos, Outtakes, Booklet, T-Shirt and Guitar Pick Gold-Leafed Box Set Version like it's a bad thing...
I think we'd end up with a longer list of people that shouldn't have done a solo album....
'I would advise stilts for the quagmires"
There's a very real reason musicians don't make solo albums. The collaboration with fellow band mates is an iterative process. A bass player focuses on his bass and the foundation of the song and possibly some interesting or harmonic devices strategically placed. The drummer is a master at rhythm and interesting fills and drama creation. The guitarist at rhythm and lead lines. The singer on melody and drama. The keys on atmosphere. Of course they all have input to the final product and can suggest something they hear to the other band members, but for one person to just say "I want it this way" and be correct all the time is unlikely, or takes a huge amount of time listening or trying out alternatives. It's also why many solo artists bring in experienced studio guys to flesh things out and bring another set of ears to the party.
Sure, any band member can write a tune, but it takes the group to turn it into something worth publishing. Special talents like Sting or Bowie or Peter Gabriel usually take forever to finish a song. They have the money and time and reputation and experience to do that, but for a regular Joe musician, as talented as they may be on their instrument, usually fall kind of flat and put out songs that are less than what their band does collaboratively.

I'd love solo discs from either Phillip Bussonnet or Isabelle Feuillebois.
I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
Almost 10 years after my original post Jamie West-Oram released his first solo-album, called Skeleton Key.
Here's the track Collusion Blues:
