There aren't many solo artists out there that AREN'T of the poppy heart-throb/pin-up type nor the 'alt-serious songwriter' type, the latter usually fail to become that big without being hott or marketed as such...i think? hmm...

there's clearly a larger fascination with the (male dominated natch) group dynamic tho. i find this annoying as i tend to prefer duos or acts which function with a key leading figure that ISN'T the vocalist.

the top solo artists:
Avril Lavigne
David Bowie
Nelly Furtado
Justin Timberlake
Marilyn Manson
Beck
Björk
Bob Dylan
Johnny Cash
Rihanna

curiously not one artist among these debuted in the 80s unless you include Bjork as part of a group.
