Ah, the death-knell of greatness. I cant think of the last album that has been truly great where all the instruments were played by one artist.

Not one of the superior recorded one-man outings, but...

Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters

... With the exception of a Greg Dulli guitar solo on "Alone + Easy Target" (?). I think that's the song in question.

I think the first 2 are pretty much all-Prince, and I'm sure there are one man band tracks on most of his albums.

Howard Jones, back in the day, would set up all his keyboards, MIDI-synced to each other, and then walk away while they were still playing. Live, dude.

I've posted this before, but this guy is a one-man band:

And I think he's pretty damn good.

I have been sadly remiss in not mentioning my pal R. Stevie Moore, who's only put out 300 or so one-man-band albums.

Bill Nelson and Adrian Belew have both done several albums where they played every note.

Whether you think they suck or not is irrelevant.
