Man, I haven't heard them since 1985!

I can't believe they're still making music! A lot of times when I am looking through the new releases, I'll see that someone has a new album coming out, first one in ten years, and I say, "Wow, whatever happened to them?" And here they are, still rockin'. Hopefully the new stuff is as good as the old stuff. So here are a few bands that have come out with new CDs this year that I hadn't heard much from in years (now I feel old).

• The Black Crowes
  - Before the Frost
• Cheap Trick
  - The Latest
• Depeche Mode
  - Sounds of the Universe
• Lita Ford
  - Wicked Wonderland
• Foreigner
  - Can't Slow Down
• Ace Frehley (of Kiss)
  - Anomaly
• Gwar
  - Lust in Space
• Living Colour
  - The Chair in the Doorway
• New York Dolls
  - Cause I sez so
• Sonic Youth
  - The Eternal
• Spinal Tap
  - Back from the Dead
• George Thorogood & the Destroyers
  - The Dirty Dozen

ps, if you've been following one of the above band's every move for the past 20 years, please don't flame me. Instead let the rest of us know of which missed CDs are worth revisiting. And if there is anyone I am forgetting, please leave a comment.
