Some of the most iconic stars in music history didn't start out as solo acts. They emerged from already-successful bands, and in some cases went on to solo careers that dwarfed the careers of the bands that spawned them. Now, as part of Season 8, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to look back at those supernova stars who exploded out of bands, as we determine the Best Solo Musician to Come out of a Band/Group!

Listen as Host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Curtis Creekmore, Jake Lewis, and Jake Pitochelli discuss and debate 16 of the most notable solo musicians of all time, ultimately naming their favorite of the bunch.
