American Songwriter highlights three 1960s rock acts whose members went on to build notable solo careers after splitting up. The piece is part of a recurring "list" feature the outlet runs celebrating classic rock history, offering a light retrospective rather than breaking news.

The three acts featured are Crosby, Stills & Nash (who briefly expanded to include Neil Young before disbanding), The Beatles (whose four members each pursued solo work after their 1970 split), and Led Zeppelin (whose surviving members, including Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, went solo following drummer John Bonham's death in 1980). Each entry notes the band's formation, a signature 1960s release, and how their eventual breakup led individual members to solo success.
