Singers/Bands that should just not bother with new material

......Anymore.

Music/songs are written for all different reasons, I believe that some of the best are written when the writer is going through some strongly emotional times, some just have one or two albums in them and then give up/vanish, 'quit while they are ahead'.

Some just don't know when to stop and keep trying to come back (and failing) I would say OMD, please stop, others would say the same about U2.
What say you?

Simple Minds, Depeche Mode are another two who keep on trying, but failing.

I think as we (humans) get older we just lack that certain whatever it was that drove us to make such great stuff back then, probably the listener isn't going through what they were back then either....

Deacon Blue as mentioned is a very good example, Holly Johnson too and Maccas is back with more rubbish as well atm!
