Reformation


2008 has not been that great for new acts to emerge, but it has been quite a year for old bands getting back together again.

The Tindersticks overcame their creative differences, wrapped up the solo side projects, and put out their best album in years. Portishead got around to their Third after a long gap. Mark Stewart, Wire and Tricky all managed to get new albums out.  Eno and Byrne will release their first collaboration since Bush of Ghosts. The new My Bloody Valentine album is rumoured to escape in the near future.

What band or artist would you like to see have a reformation? By reformation, I mean put out new relevant material, not just a bunch of has-beens touring their greatest hits because they want the cash (see The Police).  By way of rules: enough of the original line-up needs to be available (i.e. not dead) to make a true reformation viable. 

Please show your working.
