Yeah, I would have bet (and lost) money that post-Smiths guitar/music genius Johnny Marr would have been the one with the really successful solo career. That Moz was successful is a bit of a shock, as I can easily see him fatally shooting himself in the foot quite early on, but just HOW successful his solo career has been is stunning.
I have found all of Marr's solo stuff to be fine but never more than that. And his voice was surprisingly okay, once he finally started singing, and it's only gotten better from there. I wonder what kind of solo career he could have had if he'd started singing decades earlier.
