^yeah, can't argue that.
Failure's comeback record this year was absolutely incredible too. I didn't even like their 90s stuff that much to begin with, but then they re-formed as middle-aged men and absolutely knock one out of the park.

er, can't argue with that.
I can't believe no one's mentioned it here or on the Facebook post I made - Kate Bush! Aerial!

Best Comeback of all time was James Brown on the T.A.M.I. Show. Dude was done. Down for the count! Nothing left to give. Cape was on, show was over. And he just kept coming back! That's some straight up Lazarus shit.

Did he also hop off a stretcher as he was being taken off stage or was that another show?

I don't remember a stretcher at the T.A.M.I. Show, but it seems logical that it would be worked into the act at some point!

this year the greatest comeback was definitely the apartments "no song, no spell, no madrigal". after 18 years!

cibo mattoavalanchesslowdive(mind if there is a general best comeback albums thread that would be cool)

Jerry Lee Lewis went on to become a big country star in the late '60s after the Myra Gale marriage scandal got him blacklisted 10 years earlier.

Avalanches is a good one, not only in that it was a "true" comeback but it also managed to live up to expectations and perhaps even surpass them
Magma dropping perhaps their two best studio albums in 2004 and 2009 feels like it counts here even if those albums are primarily made up of 30+ year old material
