Even though the lineup is their classic linup from 1982-1984 they discussed not using the name "Europe" for the band going forward because they wanted to do something comepletely different and knew "TFC" was a double edged sword in the new millenium. Their new music is still melodic but with a MUCH sharper edge. They headlined the final day of the Bloodstock Open Air Festival in 2009 (and were voted best act center stage), something they could never have pulled off with Countdown era material."Don't want 'em to get you goat, don't show 'em where it's hid." - David Lee RothComment

My definition of "doing a lot with a little" is a band like Poison. (Apologies if they've already been mentioned, but I'm too lazy to read all the posts...)
Poison really sucked in terms of musicianship (personal opinion), but they managed to craft an image and garner a following with music that was ultimately forgettable and subpar.
And they're still able to do it today, even though they've become more of an 80's nostalgia act than anything else...
Had anyone told me twenty five years ago that Poison would still be releasing music and touring in 2012, I would've laughed at them.

The last three albums haven't been promoted in the States (but have won Grammys and topped the charts in their home market) but they have a new one (Bag of Bones) coming in April, produced by Kevin Shirley. Using a big name producer like that I think means they are going to try generate some interest in America again.
