Artists and how many years its been...

since their last album.

This is not the 2018-2019 anticipation entry that is coming, although it's related and certainly many artists on these lists will be in there.

This, if it works as it should, can be a number of lists of artists who have gone a long time without an EP or full-length album that could record and release one still per they are either

a) Active
b) Doing or did a recent reunion. Or in some cases, they release some singles (I Mother Earth for example).

I only scanned lists through 2007 at this point, but will try and go further back, at least to the beginning of the decade (the year 2000). And if I manage to bump+edit this, than add new names every year (or post a copied+pasted entry every year? and add artists who've gone 4 or 5 years from that point since their last new studio recordings ...i.e. 2015 or 2016 going into 2020, etc).

And obviously remove the artists who put out new albums in the coming weeks/months, etc.
