Artists who go solo and have GREAT bands! (albums, quote)

Ok so this thread is about any artist who is used to be associated with a group but then went his/her separate way but now perform with a band that are either amazing or at least perfectly capture the sound.

A bit hard to follow? Sorry. Well this vid may make it more clear.

Brian Wilson no longer performs with the Beach Boys. I used to think that nobody could imitate the perfect sound they used to produce until I saw Brian play with his new band (who used to be a Beach Boys tribute act).

Brian Wilson, not as strong as he used to be (though it's a miracle he's alive) but the band are absolutely great and make this next song a dream:

How about Bob Mould? Husker Du were great, but Sugar were pretty amazing too. And his solo stuff also kicks ass.

I guess I'll relegate myself to mentioning the most obvious choice...Elliott Smith.

Serj Tankian's solo was pretty good, imo.

I liked Bjork better solo rather than with the Sugarcubes.
