May I say it for you? YIKES!!
A technical call on 9: Before he joined the Eagles, Joe Walsh was solo and led the James Gang!
PS Listen to Funk #49 and don't tell me Kenny Loggins DIDN'T steal the guitar solo for Footloose! EXACTLY THE SAME!
Yes, #9 is a bit misleading but the question after reading it again says “Eagle” member, as a part of the Eagles. Then again if any one of the former Eagles made a solo album prior to Walsh’s There Goes the Neighborhood from 1981, the answer Joe Walsh would be incorrect.
Have to admit I love the one about Tito Jackson being a 'holdout' on releasing an album. I didn't even know there WAS a Tito Jackson.
Yes, there's a Tito!
The Jacksons should have done what Kiss did: All of them releasing solo albums the same day.

4 out of 10.
2/10. All absolute guesses.
7/10. The first three grilled me. I thought pretty sure McCartney released the first solo album called McCartney in 1970 signifying the official breakup.
Harrison put out 'Wonderwall' (?) like in 1968.
That is great trivia! I never knew that... always thought McCartney was 1st.
Forget it. I don't know albums.
