    What I noticed is that only two of the groups had four or more members who had solo hits. One is The Beatles.
    And only one group had 5 members with solo top-40 hits

    Thanks for the link UtW. It is very impressive that each member of the Beatles had a #1 hit.

    And Don Felder barely missed it--his "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)" peaked at #43 in 1981.

    Thanks for the article, UTW; it confirms what I suspected--that the Eagles had more members with solo success than most of their contemporaries. It definitely reflects the depth of talent within the band (although I realize chart success is only one indicator of talent).

    A ver special group indeed. Too bad Heavy Metal didn't bump up two slots. Then we'd have six Top 40 guys! I don't recall Timothy's Top 40 hi. I need to go take a listen on YouTube. That was an interesting article. Thank you for posting.

    Very well deserved! It's an absolute classic for sure. From a personal point of view I'm pretty pleased with the top three, which covers my three favourite bands. It's not a very original list, mind you. Almost as soon as I saw the headline I thought 'I wonder which two songs they went for by those guitarists? I can probably guess...' The results were every bit as (un)surprising as I expected!

    Yep - that is quite impressive! Let's hear it for the boys!

    I didn't mean to overlook this, but CONGRATULATIONS TO DON AND JOE!!!

    Well-deserved, they're in good company and they definitely have earned their place in musical history!
