Best Of 2017 The DIY List 2017: don’t call it a comeback
All this week, we’re travelling through our favourite moments of the year that’s been 2017 - to start, we revisit some of the year’s best comebacks.
It’s bloody Christmas time again. A time, we agree, for unholy amounts of mince pies and wine, and more repeats of Love Actually than you can shake a red and white sugary stick at, but it’s also a time to reflect on the musical year that has been 2017.
From Oh My God debut albums making new British bands massive, to the year’s most anticipated returns being everything we wanted and more, to incredible acts of defiance against hatred, and, as always, healthy servings of bands doing things that simply made us say: ‘Errr, Say That Again Mate?’.
There’s been some pretty amazing moments this year. So many, in fact, that we’ve collated a hundred of them. We’re going to be sharing them across this week, highlighting some of our favourite festival moments, absolute bangers of singles, political moments that gave us hope, legends of the year and more, before ending up with our ten Big Ones of 2017: the bands and acts that made us laugh, cry, smile and dance the most this year.
Follow everything in The DIY List 2017 here.
To start, then, we’ve collated some of our favourite comebacks of the year. Be it a group of heavyweights returning from a (dreaded) ‘indefinite hiatus’, young British whippersnappers coming back with an absolute stormer of a second album, or old heads feeling revitalised and proving themselves more relevant than ever as they return with new albums, these are the comebacks that have shocked and satisfied us the most in 2017.
