Not sure Pink Floyd should be on this list. The last Floyd album with Waters - The Final Cut - sold about 3.5 million copies. Division Bell was around 10 million and A Momentary Lapse of Reason was close to 6 million. Plus they had one of the highest grossing tours of 1987 and then again in 1994. Seems like a pretty solid comeback to me.

I love Geri Halliwell and the Spice Girls, it’s unfortunate Geri’s solo career didn’t take off but Melanie C’s solo work is criminally underrated in my opinion

What about INXS, after Michael Hutchence died the remaining members try to replace him with a new singer in a contest they produced and released an album with him but it flopped with the critics and fans alike

The Doors just wasn't the Doors without Jim Morrison.

Someone told me Pink Floyd's "Momentary Lapse" album wasn't that good, I said Floyd's worst is better than most bands best... I stand by that

Number 1, MOZART
He never stopped making amazing music until he died

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Back in 1990, 'Ice Ice Baby' was huge. A lot of my friends had 'Vanilla Ice on sports bike' posters in their rooms back then. I think that poster was from a movie called 'Cool as ice'.

When you have hits that are still relevant today as they were when released theres no need for a "comeback" because you never left.

Led Zep reformed in London in 2007 and it was a huge success.

[anthonykrause]

I mean The Smashing Pumpkins are on a comeback right now and it’s going pretty well if you ask me.

[hippomancy]

pink Floyd's "failure" still charted and sold better than any of these other "comebacks"- combined. yes, a misstep, but still a success

A Momentary Lapse of Reason is a top 5 Pink Floyd album

[samandcarlie]

The Pink Floyd albums without Waters were amazing. Gilmour is and always will be King of the Bends. He can do more with one note than 90% of artist out there. And Limp Bizkit is having a great tour right now. Watchmojo is so stupid.

[AlricRavensinger]

Floyd without Roger was different but David still held it together with Momentary Lapse of Reason and the Division Bell. Granted the Endless River was the album no one needed despite it being a sentimental "swan song" for Rick Wright (of which I respect him for). However, David's solo work is still amazing and he sold out when he did Live at the Royal Albert Hall, Live in Gdansk, and Live in Pompeii.

[ShanaKendle]

Momentary Lapse is a cult favorite Floyd album, , , Im not alone on this and have to say I disagree with it being on this chart, , based on sales or not.

[kevinlewis]

I couldn't disagree more about PinkFloyd.

[ChrisM-fzxx]

I agree that Pink Floyd certainly weren't the same after Roger Waters left but Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell were Masterpieces . High Hopes is the best Song David Gilmour ever wrote and his steel Guitar work is the best guitar you will ever hear . The Live Album Pulse is the best Live Album and DVD you will ever see and hear .2 hours of Musical Utopia .Failure? Not even cllose .

[Daeduluus]

Momentary Lapse of Reason was an awesome album
