Didn't like either, hence the comment.
Also I have to agree with Frogger on Wayne Coyne.

Ringo Starr.. I dont even know what he was thinking when he went solo.. still dont know what is he thinking now.
John Fogerty, he has some decent stuff solo, but nothing compared to Creedence Clearwater Revival success, those were truly golden years.
Chris Martin... although he makes must of the work for colplay, Will Champion is pretty good himself.

Jim Morrison solo would probably have been a complete fail. The Doors' music relied way too much on every member's compositional and musical skills to enable him to make music of the same quality alone. There would have been the voice, but The Doors were just that, they wouldn't be near as great as they are.

Steven Stills
He was a major frontman in Buffalo Springfield (wrote and sang "For What It's Worth") and was the biggest creative mind behind Crosby, Stills, and Nash's first album.
He's got good songwriting and is an amazing guitar player, but his solo work was never extraordinary.

Chris Cornell based off of Scream. I couldn't last through 10 minutes of that bullshit.
Mike Patton somewhat fit before Mondo Cane. (I say somewhat because Fantomas and Peeping Tom technically aren't "solo" but they are basically his projects).

I would've loved to see the reviews for a Jim Morrison spoken word album with no backing music.

At this stage in his career, Bono. Maybe when he was younger, but at this point he's just a caricature of his former self.
Also, Michael Stipe. I don't know why, but I can't picture a solo record by him being anything to get excited about.

I can't picture Bono without The Edge by his side, now less than ever. And Liam Gallagher on his own... Yeah, that would be a disaster. But I do think that Kurt Cobain could have had a good solo career.
As for solo artists that wouldn't do well in a band... Well, Bowie is the best example I can think of. If we talk about 21st century performers, I don't think M.I.A. could work as a member of a band either.
