What artist or band do you feel has done the best at returning to relevance after jumping the shark?

Celtic Frost.

Great thread. I'll have to ponder :hmm:

I can bet that most of the responses would be of the metal variety.

Excellent choice :hi5:

Jerry Garcia.

Oh wait, he died.

Was just thinking them. From Souls of Black to Low I assume?

I don't know if "relevant" really describes them now, but GnR went through breakup, Axl in cornrows rapping and becoming a whale, and now are back to kicking ass live.

Ya the album he did with Allison Krauss was pretty good. Clapton made an attempt but whether you think it worked or not is open for debate. In the 2000's he put out on an album with BB King, JJ Cale, tribute to Robert Johnson, and toured with Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall II.

That said once a band loses it they rarely get it back IMO. Plus you get old and don't have the same fire you did when you were young.

I thought about him as far as being relevant and doing new things late in his career, but I'm not sure he ever really cheesed out real bad. In fact he refused to do any Zep stuff pretty integriously, no?

Chris Cornell did that shitty pop album, and then came back with TOD and Soundgarden.

Eddie Vedders ukulele album

Metallica Load and that Lou Reed shit

Skid Row

Kiss? I mean, they jumped the shark with the clown makeup before they were even big. Plus, I think they had like 15 "final" tours. :lol:

Ringo Starr.

He was in that shitty band but then did childrens TV while shitfaced.

I'm often a fan of unpopular opinion as well :shake:

Testament didn't really cheese out, but Low is so much better than the previous three albums.

I forgot The Ritual :freak:

I dig PWYP quite a bit for a more commercial offering from them but I am in agreement on the other 2.

Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. The pioneers of mediocore.

I love the Plant solo stuff. No cheese ever, imo. Telephant mentioned Clapton up a ways back and I pretty much like his cheesy era (well; maybe I just like Forever Man :hmm:

) only

I'm not even a Metallica fan, and their new stuff is so much better than the last few albums. Same with Megadeth.

Eminem: Recovery (aptly named) also comes to mind. It's pretty great, and the few before it were just drug-addled garbage with way less fire and wit than he began with.

Agreed. Some cheesy vids around 1990 but musically pretty solid throughout imo.

My first thought was Neil Young after the mediocre-at-best shit he put out 80's but then capping off the decade with Freedom, which is one of my favorite Neil Young records and Ragged Glory after that.
