3. Ian Brown (The Stone Roses)
The Stone Roses may be back together and currently out "taking over the world" but before this famous reunion the controversial lead singer did get involved in a solo career. Brown has released a fair number of albums, all of which managed to breach the top 20 of the UK charts. Perhaps the two most popular solo songs the musician has released are "Stelify" and "F.E.A.R". These songs take on a very different style than his previous work with the Stone Roses. They make use of instruments such as the piano and an array of brass instruments which works very well. Song to listen to: F.E.A.R
