Entries Beginning with M

Band		Name		Comments & Submittor Name
Mamas and the Papas		Cass Elliot		The Mammas and the Papas were a great group, but after they broke up, it opened up many new opportunities for Mama Cass. - Barry Disbrow
Matchbox 20		Rob Thomas		Rob Thomas continues to produce hits and show why Matchbox 20 had become so popular. - Rob
The McCoys		Rick Derringer		It's a toss-up here. The McCoys had a huge hit in 1965 with "Hang On Sloopy," which is now the official Ohio state rock song. After this, he found success with Johnny and Edgar Winter, and with his solo hit "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo." He is also noted for being "Weird Al" Yankovic's producer in the 80's. - Martha Hankins
Metallica		Dave Mustaine		Dave has been the frontman and guitarist for Megadeth for the last 30 years or so. - GlamRockNinjaLord
Moist		David Usher		Although David hasn't released any new material in quite some time I think he's as good a solo artist as he was when he was fronting Moist. - Celeste
The Monkees		Mike Nesmith		After The Monkees broke-up, Nesmith's song "Different Drum" performed by Linda Ronstadt went into the Top-40. Then Nesmith had another Top-40 hit which he performed himself named "Joanne". And in the 80's he formed a show which would eventually become MTV. - Paul Warren
Montrose		Sammy Hagar		Hagar was the lead singer of the early 70s rock band formed by ex-Edgar Winter Group guitarist Ronnie Montrose. - Rocky Roccoco-Cola
The Moody Blues		Denny Laine		Between The Moody Blues and Wings, Denny Laine went solo as well as being in a few failed bands such as 'Balls', 'BLG', and 'Airforce'. - Paul Warren
The Moody Blues		Justin Hayward		Between 1972 and 1978, The Moody Blues were doormant. In 1978, Justin Hayward made a song called 'Forever Autumn'. It's a very nice song. - Paul Warren
Morning Musume		Sayumi Michishige		Sayumi was a good member during her run with her fellow bandmates at Morning Musume. Hopefully, she's a great soloist now. - Ant Ko
Motley Crue		Nikki Sixx		Nikki plays bass in the band Sixx AM, who have released three studio albums and embarked on their first headlining tour in 2015. - GlamRockNinjaLord

Mott The Hoople		Ian Hunter		Had a moderately successful solo career in the 80s and 90s. - Rocky
Mr. Big		Edwin McCain		Had another huge hit with "I'll Be", although I don't know what he's done since then. Maybe leaving the band wasn't a good idea. - Panda
My Chemical Romance		Gerard Way		Gerard is doing pretty good on his own, and is still in contact with a few of his ex-bandmates. - Lilliane
