Come backs you say? Going to have a bash with two;

Alice Cooper - Poison
Pet Shop Boys ft. Dusty Springfield - What Have I Done To Deserve This

@DJDarren okay, let’s go with the official Shepshed panel #thePlaylistSuggestion submission:

- The Equals - Come Back

- Trad. - The Cat Came Back (The Muppets’ version is a good one)

- Marillion - Easter

- Mark Lanegan - Resurection Song

- Halestorm - Back From The Dead

@DJDarren

I’ve not done one yet so I’m going for this, tied closely to the big JC’s comeback but also itself a minor comeback for XTC/Andy Partridge:

XTC - Easter Theatre

@DJDarren @labr I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention UB40 and 'Baby Come Back' - it earwormed me as soon as I heard this week's theme.

But that is not my suggestion. No.

My suggestion - in the spirit of Jurassic Park and 'no, those aren't dire wolves' is: Walk The Dinosaur by Was Not Was. Because, let's face it, despite the widespread terror and destruction in the Jurassic Park movies, we *do* want dinosaurs to come back. Don't we?

@DJDarren

Several hours later, my brain has come up with this additional suggestion.

Right Back Where We Started From - Maxine Nightingale

@DJDarren @labr 'Battle Stations' - Panacea feat. Rant

'Come The Revolution' - Julian Cope

@DJDarren @labr #ThePlaylistSuggestion

Elton John - The Bitch is Back
Thin Lizzy - The Boys are Back in Town
Moby - Honey

@DJDarren
My suggestions:
Zombie - The Cranberries
Back in the World - David Gray

My lovely wife @u2katrina.bsky.social has "suggestions" this week too, but they were tongue firmly in cheek:
It's All Coming Back To Me Now - Celine Dion
I'm Bringing Sexy Back - Justin Timberlake
#ThePlaylistSuggestion

@DJDarren @labr #thePlaylistSuggestion

Aretha Franklin - Until You Come Back To Me
Jimi Hendrix - Up from the Skies
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child Slight Return
Elvis Presley - Return to Sender

@DJDarren @labr

#ThePlaylistSuggestion

...So maybe it's one of these hip-hop tracks to which Darren was referring?

Crooklyn Dodgers - Return Of The Crooklyn Dodgers
Run D.M.C. - Back From Hell
Digital Underground - Return Of The Crazy One
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Return Of The Mecca
Hiroshi & K.U.D.O - Return Of The Original Artform
DJ Format & Abdominal - We're Back
Rakim - Guess Who's Back
Mystikal - Bouncin' Back

I am, of course, NOTHING if not predictable.

@DJDarren @labr Going literal here
- Come Back by The Mighty Wah
- Comeback Kid by Sharon Van Etten

IMO the former is far superior to the latter.

@DJDarren

I got an instant earworm of The Millionaire Waltz by Queen when I read the word Comeback. Due to the lyrics that includes come back a lot. Including in the Bridge:

"Come back, come back to me!
Come back, come back to me!
Oh come back to me, oh my love
How I long for your love
Won't you come back to me?”

@DJDarren @labr Good one

My choice is “Dracula Has Risen From The Grave” by Straw. A bit of obscure and largely forgotten Brit Pop.

@DJDarren

Come Back - Garageland
Viva Dead Ponies - Fatima Mansions (what could be more seasonally appropriate than a song about Jesus' post-resurrection career as a north London shopkeeper?)
Walking Back To My Heart - Nick Kelly
Cross the Tracks (We Better Go Back) - Maceo & The Macks

@DJDarren @labr Instantly, as soon as I read this it's Come Back and Stay by Paul Young.

I absolutely adored the No Parlez album as a young teenager and I still listen to it now. The 12" mix is ace, but you won't have time for that so the regular version will do

@DJDarren @labr #ThePlaylistSuggestion
Overnight thoughts were of a couple of comeback albums by musicians who spent a long time having a quiet life in the countryside, thoroughly disillusioned with the music business, before eventually being persuaded to give it another go.

And in true Playlist style, they have a slightly different kind of sound to one another:

Scott Walker - Farmer in the City (from 1995's Tilt, his first release for eleven years)

Vashti Bunyan - Wayward (from 2005's Lookaftering, her first release for all of 35 years)



Also, I have a handful of much more straightforwardly literal suggestions:

Lord Kitchener - Come Back in the Morning

The Magnetic Fields - Come Back from San Francisco

Aretha Franklin - Come Back Baby (there are many, many versions of this song, but Aretha's upbeat dance-oriented take is unsurprisingly my favourite)

Elvis - That's Alright (specifically, the live version from the '68 Comeback Special, because if it's not from the Comeback Special then it doesn't fit the theme and I've just suggested a random song for no reason)

@DJDarren @labr

- Slight Return by the Bluetones
- Guess who’s back…Without me by Eminem.
- Get Back by The Beatles
- The Green, Green Grass of Home by Tom Jones
- Back for Good by Take That
- Homeward Bound by Simon & Garfunkel
- Shake it off by TayTay. Cos it’s all about getting back out there, y’know?

@DJDarren @labr

Finally. Leicester’s finest. Return of the Mac by Mark Morrison. Yes it is!

More to follow, but this one just could not wait.
