Thanks to Jay Gabler for sharing a great article from Stereogum featuring 64 acts that took 20 or more years between albums.

The article points out that the bands took such long breaks between recording for reasons ranging from poverty to drug addiction to hearing loss. But for whatever reason, they all came back together to make something new after two decades.
