Not sure if Springsteen counts as solo as he's pretty much worked with most of the same band for years.

I’m not really one for solo artists. I just went through my Spotify library and the only ones on there are Ben Kweller, Charlotte Hatherley, Jenny Lewis, PJ Harvey & Ryan Adams. I also think Bully (no, not that Bully) is a solo artist rather than a band.

 

[sycophantia]

Yeah I missed Kate Bush and Neil Young.

 

[jd1981]

Could digress to top female Solo artist

Billy Joel.
A lad at work burnt me a CD of 'The Best of Billy Joel' years ago.
I was working in Northern Ireland at the time but living in the south. I had it in in the car driving home and suddenly came to my senses.
I thought 'what the fuck am I listening to this shit for?'
Ejected the CD, wound the window down and deposited onto the central reservation at 70mph.
'The first 'white man' signed to Motown'.
Apologies for littering.

Noel Gallagher
Kylie

I'd have Morrissey in there but he and I have a very complicated relationship these days.
