Maybe Steve Perry if you just look at the Street Talk album, but it's a stretch.

Brain May sold out Wembely for 3 nights recently ?

Well, if we are using the same or similar level of success as the original band, then Dennis DeYoung would not count.

But some of the names added here later on .... well, Dennis had a top 10 song and a gold album in Desert Moon, so I herewith add him to this list!

What about Ruben Kinkade?

I think LordofTheRing has a Partridge Family fetish - LOL I guess seriously, you could add David Cassidy. I had a "teen" crush on him way back in the 1970's - LOL After meeting him 2 years ago, he was nothing as I expected to be. Very Sad :cry:

Wasn't there another member of the Eagles that was successful?

I would have to say Paul McCartney would be the #1 most successful from everyone's list.

Damn Froy I forgot about ol Ruben, he has done pretty well doing those Denny Restaurant voice overs. Suite you are right, Don Henley and Glen Frey had success after the break up of the Eagles. Glen had one good album, don Henley's end of the innocence stacks up to any eagles album, including (a moment of silence) Hotel California. I was lucky enough during the 80s and 90s to see both guys solo live and see the hell freezes over tour.
