Had one of those nights where I just couldn't sleep. So I got up at 2 and did some reviews and for some reason started thinking about the best comeback single ever.

Rules: The band have to have either broken up (for longer than five minutes like some bands) and reformed, or have publicly gone on "hiatus" for a long time. So some like, for example, Love Spreads by The Stone Roses doesn't count. It was 5 years or whatever, but during that time the band didn't split, so it doesn't qualify. Any suggestions?

I'd like to nominate a famous one.

Blondie - Maria (1999)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt_FthFbSwU


Released War Child in 1982. Broke up. Starting getting back on terms in 1997, release in 99 - so 17 year gap really.

Clarification on solo artists:

Reasonable amount of time out with illness, prison, national service etc. all accepted.

37 years after leading The Jesters on the last ever Sun records 45, Cadillac Man, having spent time touring Europe as a medieval troubadour (yes, really!) and been widely reported as having died in the Jim Jones cult mass suicide (again, really!), Teddy Paige returned with these two gems:


Moon Over Mankora

London Cherry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGR4NGpbnm0

Sadly, Teddy is currently incarcerated for attacking his neighbour with a three-foot sword.

I have a feeling it was Loosing Sleep. Good call.

Love Teddy Paige's story. I'll have to think on this.

Arguably Girl Like You by Edwyn was something of a comeback to form. Huge worldwide hit after most people had written him off post Orange Juice and 9 years after Rip it up
