I actually traditionally have not liked too many solo careers after artists leave their prime bands, and it always feels like people go a little easier on these albums to me (particularly The Beatles solo albums which I find to be pretty slim pickings), so I'm going to kind of cheat and pack my list with Brian Eno, since he technically counts (Synth player for Roxy Music).
1. Here Come the Warm Jets by Brian Eno
2. Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy by Brian Eno
3. Another Green World by Brian Eno
4. Ambient 4: On Land by Brian Eno
5. E2-E4 by Manuel Gottsching
6. Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
7. Ambient 1: Music For Airports by Brian Eno
8. Plastic Ono Band by John Lennon
9. Band of Gypsys by Jimi Hendrix
10. Paris 1919 by John Cale
Beyond that, most of the famous ones, I tend to only find moderately enjoyable.

Assuming 1) being in a successful band and 2) not releasing solo albums until after that band is successful (ie: Neil Young would not be eligible).
