The Comebacks which everyone seems to have missed

Everyone went over the moon with the news of Blink 182’s reunion…  I understand the excitement for Blink fans, but it’s hardly worth the fuss people seem to be giving it.  Same could be said for Greenday’s new album.  Sorry guys, but what’s the big deal?  Have you shopped around?  There have been MAJOR comebacks by many amazing artists who in my opinion left a bolder mark on the history of music.

Well let’s start with Bruce Springsteen.  Associated with the US musical scene, he sang  what could be said to be the second national anthem for Americans, Born in the USA.  And this year he’s back.  His album Working on a Dream debuted at number 1 on Billboard 200, with Rolling Stone giving it 5 stars.  I am not of the opinion that it’s his best album ever, however tracks such as This Life and Good Eye are reminiscent of Springsteen’s musical genre.   In my opinion it is a very good album which is worth coverage.

Then there’s Robert Plant who in collaboration with Alison Krauss released Raising Sand winner of the Album of the Year at this year’s Grammies.  Again, it is a remarkable album which together with Alison Krauss’ fresh voice made the album one not to miss. The most successful single from this album is Please Read the Letter which you can find on youtube.com.

Let’s not forget Long Road out of Eden by Eagles – their seventh album released in 2007.  Although there had been changes in the line-up since Hotel California, this album took me by surprise.  I wouldn’t have said it would be as good.  Unfortunately it didn’t do as well as the above albums in terms of charts and billboard, however I do recommend it– after all it is a 7x platinum in the US and 2x in the UK.

It’s impossible to include all bands and artists in a single blog – I had to leave out Metallica, AC/DC, Annie Lennox, Tina Turner and many more.

So yes, although Blink 182, Greenday and Limp Bizkit’s comeback might be good news for many, just try to keep up with the comeback of these legendary figures of music which have entertained the world for decades now.
