Well, his solo career is successful from a musical point of view, I think more successful in that regard than the other band members. I wasn't aware that commercial success was the only arbiter of artistic value, but that's a typical attitude on this board. I don't care how many sales an album has if it sounds like crap, like most of Stevie's later solo output. She chased commercial success often at the expense of the music, and now chart success is long past for her.

And Tusk wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Lindsey, and that album gives the band a lot of credibility nowadays, maybe more than the others. The rest of the band would have opted for Rumours II without him, and failed to even come close no doubt.

ETA: And does your argument mean that Neil Finn is untalented? I don't think his solo career is any more successful than Lindsey's, outside of New Zealand and Australia. Unless I missed him ever having a Top 10 single in the US or UK? At least Lindsey managed that.
