"Layla" - Eric Clapton
"Tears In Heaven" - Eric Clapton

I like your list wisdom, they're all artist that would be listed as one my favorites also. (Ive noticed Eric Clapton's name getting mentioned a lot).

I just love a lot of Robert Plants solo material, well..maybe a few songs 'here and there' from a couple of his solo albums, anyway.

Don Henley is running very close, as my 2nd personal favorite.

With Ozzy at #1..and "Sting" still holding 3rd.. for the meantime.

John Cougar over Bruce Springsteen always.

Prince has already been recognized/#1 enough, and shown recognition, or at least, consideration as being a multi-talented artist through the years. (we've had enough of Prince already).

"At this point and time", I'm going to change my #1 favorite solo artist, as being Robert Johnson (Very Underrated).

Can't say these are like the end all be all greatest, just some on my mind right now:

Susumu Hirasawa - Lotus
Britta Person - You Are Not My Boyfriend
Andrew W.K. - Don't Stop Living in the Red
Jonsi - Around Us
Connor Oberst - Cape Canaveral

Thanks.

I considered Sting for the list and probably would rate him above Clapton (kind of blah without a great backing band), but I figured he doesn't get played on hard rock radio (or didn't, when that was a popular genre).
