7. Fleetwood Mac (1997)

A human resources manager's nightmare, the Rumours era lineup of Fleetwood Mac flagrantly flaunted the absence of a non-fraternization policy amongst rock bands. With Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks progressing through the death throes of their relationship and John and Christine McVie's marriage dissolving, the band channeled their angst into the music and produced one of the defining albums of the seventies. By the time Buckingham left the band in 1987, relationships had mended but without the sexual tension and Fleetwood Mac's magic had long expired. However, it didn't stop them from recording well into the 90s. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Rumours (and to make gobs and gobs of cash), Buckingham and Nick rejoined the McVies and steadfast drummer Mick Fleetwood for an MTV reunion that paved the way for a successful US tour. The 1997 comeback didn't yield much new music, however, it did solidify Fleetwood Mac's position as one of the most successful bands of the baby boomer generation.

Fleetwood Mac's comeback typifies the "Return From Obscurity" comeback which could be best summed up by L.L. Cool J's quip "don't call it a comeback, I been here for years." L.L.'s quote bears much truth
