Longest time between albums
It took Guns N Roses 17 years to complete/release Chinese Democracy.
That's quite a while to wait ![]() Is that a record or are there other contenders? |

^ Aerial was worth the wait, in my opinion, it's splendid.
Kirsty MacColl took about 10 years after her debut album "Desperate Character" to complete "Kite", which again, was worth the wait. |

Another oddity used to be the B52s who used to have years between hit records and Carly Simon who seemed to score a hit every 5 years.

Vashti Bunyan holds the record I believe - 35 years
1970 - Just Another Diamond Day 2005 - Lookaftering |

There's someone else - a male folk singer who did one album in 1968 or so and then another one last year...I'm damned if I can remember the name though.

My Bloody Valentine's Loveless came out in 1991. Seems wildly optimistic to expect a follow up though.

Sade left 10 years between Lovers rock and solider of love.
![]() The Eagles left 28 years between the long run and long way out of Eden. ![]() The Yarbirds left 35 years between little games (1968) and Birdland (2003)! ![]()

Kate Bush can take as long as she wants and do what she wants in my book, the lady is a genius, someone who a lot of the young female artist of today can learn a lot from, arise Dame Kate Bush.
The Klaxons have been taking the piss with their latest album although I'm probably just being impatient considering it's only been 3 years since Myth's

Quite short compared with some of the gaps mentioned here, but prog supergroup Transatlantic had an 8-year gap between Bridge Across Forever (2001) and The Whirlwind (2009)

There may be loads where one or other weren't hits.
