Editing Cold Chisel (section)

===1984-1996: Aftermath and ARIA Hall of Fame===
Barnes launched his solo career in January 1984, which has provided nine Australian number-one studio albums and an array of hit singles, including "[[Too Much Ain't Enough Love]]", which peaked at No.&nbsp;1. He has recorded with [[INXS]], [[Tina Turner]], [[Joe Cocker]] and John Farnham to become one of the country's most popular male rock singers. Prestwich joined [[Little River Band]] in 1984 and appeared on the albums ''[[Playing to Win (Little River Band album)|Playing to Win]]'' and ''[[No Reins]]'', before departing in 1986 to join Farnham's touring band. Moss, Small and Walker took extended breaks from music.

Small maintained a low profile as a member in a variety of minor groups Pound, the Earls of Duke and the Outsiders.<ref name="McFarlane"/><ref name="Holmgren"/><ref name="Nimmervoll"/> Walker formed Catfish in 1988, ostensibly a solo band with a variable membership, which included Moss, [[Charlie Owen (musician)|Charlie Owen]] and Dave Blight at times.<ref name="McFarlane"/><ref name="Holmgren"/><ref name="Nimmervoll"/> Catfish's recordings during this phase attracted little commercial success. During 1988 and 1989 Walker wrote several tracks for Moss including the singles "[[Tucker's Daughter]]" (November 1988) and "[[Telephone Booth (song)|Telephone Booth]]" (June 1989), which appeared on Moss' debut solo album, ''[[Matchbook (Ian Moss album)|Matchbook]]'' (August 1989).<ref name="McFarlane"/><ref name="Holmgren"/><ref name="McFarlane IM"/> Both the album and "Tucker's Daughter" peaked at No.&nbsp;1.<ref name="McFarlane IM"/><ref name="AUS Charts IM"/> Moss won five trophies at the [[ARIA Music Awards of 1990]].<ref name="McFarlane IM"/><ref name="ARIA1990"/> His other solo albums met with less chart or award success.<ref name="McFarlane IM"/>

Throughout the 1980s and most of the 1990s, Cold Chisel were courted to re-form but refused, at one point reportedly turning down a $5&nbsp;million offer to play a sole show in each of the major Australian state capitals. Moss and Walker often collaborated on projects; neither worked with Barnes until Walker wrote "Stone Cold" for the singer's sixth studio album, ''[[Heat (Jimmy Barnes album)|Heat]]'' (October 1993). The pair recorded an acoustic version for ''Flesh and Wood'' (December). Thanks primarily to continued radio airplay and Barnes' solo success, Cold Chisel's legacy remained solidly intact.<ref name="McFarlane"/><ref name="Holmgren"/><ref name="McFarlane JB"/> By the early 1990s the group had surpassed 3 million album sales, most sold since 1983.<ref name="McFarlane"/> The 1991 compilation album, ''[[Chisel (album)|Chisel]]'', was re-issued and re-packaged several times, once with the long-deleted 1978 EP as a bonus disc and a second time in 2001 as a double album. The ''Last Stand'' soundtrack album was finally released in 1992. In 1994 a complete album of previously unreleased demo and rare live recordings, ''[[Teenage Love (album)|Teenage Love]]'', was released, which provided three singles.
