Steve Hackett - Spectral Mornings
Tony Banks - A Curious Feeling
Mike Rutherford - Smallcreep's Day (I've been trying out the solo albums by Genesis members, and Hackett is definitely the one who worked best away from the band. Banks' debut seems to be highly regarded by fans, but I found it rather nondescript compared to the melodic invention he brought to the band. Rutherford's debut sounds more like Genesis, but still suffers from a deficit of charisma, despite being on the label of that name).
Heaven 17 - How Men Are
The Dukes of Stratosphear - 25 O'Clock
The Dukes of Stratosphear - Psonic Psunspot
Al Jardine - A Postcard From California (I recommend this to any Beach Boys fan - Al is the member who still retains most of the old spirit, and this is a very warm and enjoyable concept album which he seems to have been working on a while, seeing as it features Carl Wilson on a couple of songs, plus Brian, Mike & Bruce, Crosby Stills & Young and Glen Campbell).
Brian Wilson - No Pier Pressure (Sticking with my truncated version of this - and without the ill-advised 'duets' with contemporary artists it stands up well as a very strong solo album).
The Apples In Stereo - Travellers In Space And Time
Amon Düül II - Made In Germany
Fleetwood Mac - Bare Trees
Flo & Eddie - Illegal, Immoral & Fattening
