I'm not in a good place to answer this one because I haven't gotten to many solo careers by even my heroes because I have so much damned music to buy, so expect to see this question again in a few years.
But, from what I do know, I think the best moments of Iggy Pop's solo career (first two albums mainly) are high points for anyone's career. I mean if the Stooges never existed (the world would suck) then I'd still love Iggy Pop based on these. Hell, if the only thing he ever did was release the song "The Passenger" b-side "Some Weird Sin" he'd still be a favorite!
Other greats: Johnny Thunders, Roky Erickson (what an awesome guy), Lou Reed, Joe Strummer (love the Mescaleros and Joe's new voice), John Cale (what I've heard), Van Morrison (everyone seems to forget he came from the excellent Irish garage rock band Them), Lemmy if you count him forming Motorhead after leaving Hawkwind, and Alice Cooper (after leaving the band Alice Cooper).
