Maybe you want to edit the title so that it's clear what the thread is about?

Anyway, as some know around here I'm a big fan of much of the Can members solo works. Holger Czukay has some absolutely outstanding albums (with Canaxis 5 and Movies groundbreaking when it comes to non-digital sampling), Irmin Schmidt has a great discography, Jaki Liebezeit has his hand in a lot of good music, some with his name on it (if not totally solo), Damo Suzuki has done nice improvised stuff, and even the Michael Karoli solo album is interesting.

Of course there are more bands that qualify, but let's see what others come up with.
I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine.

Tangerine Dream — I own numerous solo albums by Edgar Froese, Johannes Schmoelling, Peter Baumann and Michael Hoenig (though he was only a touring member, briefly) that I classify as indispensable. Then there are solo albums by Ulrich Schnauss, Christopher Franke, Ralf Wadeful, Steve Jolliffe, Conrad Schnitzler, and even Jerome Froese that are quite good.

Best solo albums from two of my favourite bands:

The Beatles
Paul McCartney - Band on the Run
John Lennon: Plastic Ono Band, Imagine
George Harrison: All Things Must Pass
Ringo Starr: Ringo

Pink Floyd
Syd Barrett, The Madcap Laughs, Barrett
Roger Waters: Radio KAOS, Amused to Death
Dave Gilmour: David Gilmour, About Face
Nick Mason: Fictitious Sports (worth checking out for the presence of Carla Bley & Robert Wyatt)

Not that hard to argue, all those musicians mentioned did some poor albums as well.

I know you're not a fan of Open Your Eyes, so I'm guessing you're primarily thinking of Billy Sherwood, who came last in a recent Billy Sherwood poll - which I couldn't resist mentioning again.

Usually, I'm not so fond of works of solo artists, but Rick Wakeman is definitely an exception, with at least a couple of albums. Mike Oldfield too if he can be considered as a proper solo artist.
