Line 44:
* [[Elton John]]'s 1980's comeback can be attributed to Elton collaborating full time with lyricist Bernie Taupin for the first time since 1976's ''Blue Moves'', and to Elton reuniting with guitarist Davey Johnstone, bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson, his classic 1970's backing band, for the first time since 1975's ''Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy''. It helped that Elton's album, ''Too Low For Zero'' was a solid effort, with tracks like "I'm Still Standing" and "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" and entertaining music videos.
* [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s latest album, ''Alpocalypse''. Whoa, finally a new Weird Al album! It took a while, but finally we have a new polka medley - [[Captain Obvious|and not a crappily-recorded live version]], to boot! But then there was yet another ATFR moment, namely when, for the first time, there was ''a music video'' for a Polka Medley. As in, you know, not a fan-made one - no, an ''actual'', honest-to-God [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRJILK3NxSM&ob=av2n music video!] To quote the Wikipedia article for the album:
{{quote| ''"Yankovic intends to create music videos for every song on the album. At the time of the album's release, videos for all but two of the songs were included with the physical DVD and deluxe downloadable version of the album. A live-action video for "Perform This Way" was released a day prior to the release of the album, while a video for the polka medley, "Polka Face", was slated to be released in late July. It was finally released in late September 2011 on Comedy Central's Jokes.com.[5] The polka medley video, primarily animated but featuring some live-action takes, is the first time that Yankovic has created a video for his traditional polka medleys."''}}
** Not to mention he ''finally'' made a [[Lady Gaga]] spoof that reached over a million views within a week.
* [[Within Temptation]]'s new album? Great! Hopefully we don't have to wait another three... they already have another album idea?! That's supposed to be released next year?!?! AND THEY'RE MAKING AN UNFORGIVING MOVIE?!??!!?! Cue fandom squeals.
