With the legendary Soundgarden being back, what are other artists and band’s that have either retired or have taken a hiatus that you want to come back? I can easily think of 5 artists/bands in the major label industry that deserves a comeback.

Here is the list:

1. David Bowie
(Bowie is my no 1. pick. He hasn’t released a new studio album with new material since, “Reality” in 2003. After that, he haven’t been doing any new music, no touring, no nothing. He just keeps releasing live albums, b-sides and re-issues of older albums, nothing new. Come on back, David, we miss you!)

2. The White Stripes
(Jack and Meg haven’t released a new album since 2007’s “Icky Thump”, they are a talented duo and I would like them to come back. I love their music but never gotten around to buying their records, will start getting their albums soon. They only released six albums in their career. It is rumored they’ll be coming back soon, but I’ll believe it when there is a new album on the shelves of record stores.)

3. Garbage
(Another band who haven’t released a new album since 1995, they have vanished and gone. They were a talented group, I liked Shirley Manson’s singing and the band wrote good songs. A comeback for them would be appropriate.)

4. Jimmy Page
(Ever since the iconic Led Zeppelin reunion at the O2 in 2007, all the guys in Led Zep kept working on projects but Jimmy Page. Robert Plant went to work with Alison Krauss. Jason Bonham went back to work on other projects. John Paul Jones went to work for Them Crooked Vultures, but since the 02 reunion Jimmy hasn’t announced a new project for himself yet at all. Jimmy needs to do something musical again soon. Hope Jimmy has plans in doing a solo album ’cause that would be pretty cool.)

5. Billy Joel
(I’m a huge fan of Billy, admired his music for years. He hasn’t done a new album since 2001’s “Fantasies & Delusions” which was a classical instrumental album. After that, he still constantly tours around the world performing hits from his past, touring with Elton John and all that. If he is able to tour still and perform all his hits on stage, I’m sure he is capable of writing new material for new songs. Come on, Billy, get your shit together and get back to writing new songs again!)
