Another set of albums by solo endeavourers this is! Interesting how most of these artists had managed to carve respective starry niches of their own despite the stellar status of the bands they were members of.
Trivia: Before forming their fairly successful bands, Cope, McCulloch, and Wylie were members of a very short-lived band called The Crucial Three. Falco, on the other hand, was a member of a couple of local club bands, but his career practically started the moment he was launched as a solo artist. And Billy Idol? Who dares to hate Billy other than Glenn Gulia?
