Brian:
Good Kind Of Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP3SQVlu-dE)
Guess You Had To Be There (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgSU2rnMR_k)
On Christmas Day (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP8tE3kxA2k)

Dennis:
Holy Man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA-v7hRYTk0) (the recent one with Brian May, Roger Taylor, and Taylor Hawkins)
Moonshine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydAI4tIG-q4)

Carl:
Heaven (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBCtRge1Vyg)

Bruce:
Down Under  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XNiAd8aOt8) - catchy as heck. Reminds me of the The Monkey's Uncle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2js-XnLZro) by The Beach Boys and Annette Funicello

Al:
San Simeon  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5j1YEDa9MA)

Mike:
Daybreak Over The Ocean (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUjZbD0Gcjc) - this version is from TWGMTR, but I still consider it a solo song on there for some reason. But I really like the song a lot.

David:
I really want to sit down and listen to The Moon albums in full (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggpqs_bpSE8&list=PLFAE25F834B99A2E4) (heard some of them a long time ago and liked what I heard). But I don't know enough of his solo stuff to make a choice

Blondie/Ricky:
Don't Worry Bill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYY9RC1gZ9E) (as this is the Flame, not sure if this counts as solo work, but I love the studio version of this song)
