Kid Charlemagne would not be the same without Larry Carlton, but the couple of his records I have heard did not do much for me either.
"whereas coryell has tons of great solo albums that are well worth listening to."
Larry Coryell just missed out not being on Colombia records or recording with Miles Davis. I think some of his fusion work is pretty close to John McLaughlin and a bit better than Al DiMeola. Coryell was definitely was in the fusion reactor at about the first bang, he just was working with Chico Hamilton and Gary Burton instead of Miles Davis and Chick Corea. The music was about as good, but with much less of a public profile. Coryell was also doing the high powered acoustic guitar jazz with John McLaughlin a few years before the success of those "Grace, Passion and Fire" records which were really popular.
The sad thing is about Coryell is that I have heard quite a bit of his music, but not much that was made in the last 25 years. I know Coryell has gone back and made a bunch of more standard Jazz guitar music, but I don't know much about it at all.
I'm sure both of these dudes have been mistaken for each other more times than about anyone this side of Dr. Lonnie Smith and Lonnie Liston Smith.

Coryell S: Spaces w/McLaughlin and Billy Cobham, and this one high-powered organ trio thing I have from the 90s
Coryell D: some interview I read where he was whining that he should have been Jimi Hendrix by rights

No? He plays on five Joni Mitchell albums (starting with Court and Spark) and four Steely Dan albums (starting with Katy Lied). I've never heard a solo recording, though.

funny this thread exists. I feel bad admitting that I've seen Larry Coryell's name pop up in guitar magazines and elsewhere over the years, but I don't think I've ever listened to him. More often than not, I have indeed confused him with Larry "Fat Time" Carlton.
