How is a little less then 4 years between albums considered a comeback (Green Day)? In that case, Thriller should be here. PRINCE: Always and Forever
MICHAEL JACKSON: Always and Forever ----- Live Your Life How U Wanna Live It | |

they had a huge commercial success after a decade of humble to poor perfoming projects. | |

The only one I'd completely disagree with is Meat Loaf...replace that with Off The Wall by Michael Jackson. That album shot him back into the stratosphere of pop when he had been spending the last several years coasting towards has-been territory. | |

they had a huge commercial success after a decade of humble to poor perfoming projects. I would agree it was an amazing comeback and sort of reinvention. Before that they were just trying to follow 1994's Dookie which has a certain novelty to it you don't associate with actual artists. | |

Songs like Minority, and especially Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) were huge hits!!! It's not like they fell-off and noone was buying their records. They may not have been as successful as Dookie was, but they did alright. JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!! | |

Not sure if I agree with that.In the years leading up to 'Off The Wall',Michael had numerous hits with his brothers ("Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)" in 78,for example) and he appeared in 'The Wiz'.True,'Off The Wall' took his career to another level but I think it's a stretch to say that he was coasting towards has-been territory,lol. | |

I have to agree here. If one was talking about his last years at Motown and the first couple of years at Epic, then yes, I would argue that he was heading towards has-been territory. But like you pointed out, Destiny did very well. | |

While with the Jackson 5, MJ was having several hits each year...by the time Off The Wall came out, the only relevance MJ had on the charts and on the radio over the past several year was "Shake Your Body". "Off The Wall", however, established MJ as an adult performer. "Destiny" was more of a nice moment of decent success, but it didn't signal a comeback. | |

That's absurd. The Jackson Five (or Jacksons or whatever) weren't excatly bombing before. "Off the Wall" was hardly a comeback album. Meatloaf came out of nowhere (well, out of Europe) to have another blockbuster album at a time when that kind of music was not big. Green Day is absurd in it's placement if not being listed at all.. It's Rolling Stone kissing the ass of the one the decent rock bands still left. | |

I never thought of any of those Motown releases, even the number one singles, as a proper solo career. They're not unlike Janet's first two albums with the difference being that they sold well. | |

I'd replace Meat Loaf because Back Into Hell didn't propel Meat Loaf's singing career and chart success for the next decade. Off The Wall did for MJ. | |

Well, if you consider the Jackson 5 and MJ as two separate entities, and if you consider that Off The Wall wasn't a comeback for the Jackson 5, then I guess you'd be right to leave that album off the list  ...
But then again, you'd have to take Paul Simon's Graceland off the list, too, since Garfunkle wasn't part of it's creation lol  ...[Edited 1/14/08 8:15am] | |

[Edited 1/14/08 8:15am] No this is about Simon's solo career. He had major bombs in between STILL CRAZY... ('75) and GRACELAND ('86). Personally, I liked the jazzy flavor of  and  , but Simon's succes is measured in GRAMMY awardstest | |

These were albums that were put out that the public really took notice to. Musicology on the otherhand, was an album Prince wanted you to notice. Besides Prince has never really left the public eye. I am not even sure if you can ever call a Prince album a comeback album...maybe if it was hearlded and was on everyone's "to get" list as opposed to a "look another free album by Prince" Christian Zombie Vampires | |
