Gotta be the solo career, although everything he's been involved with has been excellent. A national treasure, were he French he'd have been awarded the Legion D'Honneur years ago.

Got to admit that I'm not as familiar with Soft MAchine as I'd like to be, but I love "Rock Bottom" - one of my top 10 albums I think - so for that, I'd have to vote for his solo career.

I love all of Wyatt's career (have some solo albums, every SM album, and the two MM studio albums, but can safely say that his best work was done with The Soft Machine.

Robert Wyatt has been a major contributor to prog through creating two different bands as well as a solo career. With this in mind. Robert Wyatt Created first The Soft Machine and then later assembled Matching Mole where after that he decided to pursue a solo career releasing his last album in 1997. What path was better?
