2011 "comeback" records

It seems like a lot of bands "resurrected" this year after a +/- ten year absence. The Cars and The Jayhawks were high profile rock bands that came back with a new release in 2011 and Connie Smith, who was a queen of country music in the '60s, also returned. Less prominently, cult bands like Kid Creole and The Coconuts and The Feelies had new records for the first time in this millenium.

Any others out there? Which do you think were the best of the lot?

Donjr...You could compare it to Scratch My Back but nothing at all like his older music...sorta. It does have the intensity and passion but it is all orchestra, no guitar or drums, reworking old songs. I was skeptical but it is a really good record. There is a deluxe version that has an instrumental disc and there is also a 24/48 version called Half Blood available to Society Of Sound members (B&W).

I'm a long time fan so maybe biased some but I think it's pretty amazing.
