All of these solo albums are with his lyrics, they are "band"albums and not experimental. Or maybe they are as well still to you but not primarily. All of these were recorded post-SY (the links go to wikipedia):
As for his own favourites, I don't know but there's only a couple that he has played live occasionally during post-SY solo or band gigs:
- Genetic (in 2012)
- Karen Revisited (in 2013)
- Mote (in 2017)
Instead he prefers playing covers by e.g. Neil Young, The Byrds, David Crosby, Velvet Underground to add to his current songs.
