A pretty great 8th album has lesser competition from other 8th albums than just about any earlier album in most discographies. 'Stranded' is pretty great too, but it didn't get the most votes as it was up against 'Another Green World'.

I can't think of any bands who had a lead singer who had such a successful band/solo career as Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry, and some great albums by its other members/associates.

The only one I can think of is The Beatles, although their solo careers didn't properly start until the band split up, and I don't think Ringo Starr's albums would get many votes in a poll. I love some of Wings albums. 

I hope somebody else can come up with some decent/appropriate suggestions though. Smile
How about YES or Genesis? The individual members of those two bands had some pretty impressive solo debuts. Smile

On the subject of The Beatles, I prefer George Harrison's All Things Must Pass over all of The Beatles albums, although he had two really bizarre albums that came before that classic album. Confused

Thanks. It's been really interesting (in a Steve Davis kind of way) seeing the results of these polls when Roxy Music haven't always been the obvious winner, and having completed this series of Proxy Music polls, are there any more of these kind of polls you'd like to see with albums by bands up against solo albums by the individual members of the same band?

My pleasure! I'll have to leave any future Swans and The Residents polls in Logan's capable hands as I'm not a fan of either band - To Be Kind - and besides, I don't think I could bear listening to all of the Swans and The Residents many albums. Life is too short for that. Sorry to extinguish The Ghost of Hope. Wink

I much prefer The Plateaux of Mirror to Music for Airports, but Avalon is great to. Maybe the latter for nostalgic reasons.
