While one may be the loneliest number, when it comes to music it is often one of the most successful. Singer-songwriters and other types of solo artists are often some of the most respected members of the music industry for their ability to create something on their own that sometimes takes as many as five or six people to create. Maybe it’s because there is less delegation and deliberation with one member, maybe these esteemed fellows and ladies are just too damn genius to be held down by lesser beings. Whatever the reason why they choose to go unaccompanied, let’s give it up for those who choose to brave the music world alone and often do it better than anyone else. Also, if you bad-mouth Phil Collins you are letting the terrorists win.
