here's a fun game if you're a music dork: what is the best album released by a music act at least 15 years after its debut album?

it's harder than you think. Beatles and Zeppelin didn't reach 15 years. Floyd's only contender is The Final Cut. the last great Radiohead album (In Rainbows) was 14 years from the debut.

This is fun, mostly because so few bands stay together for that long and still produce great music. Here are a few of my favorites:

The Rolling Stones - Tattoo You
Metallica - 72 Seasons
Def Leppard - Euphoria
KISS - Revenge
Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls
Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers
The Who - Face Dances or It's Hard
