    Tina Turner Let’s Stay Together. 

    I think she’d had a solo career that had ticked along for a few years but then boof an international hit with a modern sounding production. 

    I remember my cousin playing this constantly  over Christmas 82  
     I definitely think it paved the way for the Private dancer album  it sounded so big and like you say production was spot on

    The OP nailed it for me with Patience, the only Take That song I would allow in my house or car without an argument.

    Echo & the Bunnymen - Nothing Lasts Forever is a good shout too. I think that was rockandrolldave

    I thought nothing last for ever was the complete opposite of this thread.

  • Soundgarden - Been away for too long.
    I was elated when this came out. Back with a bang after 15 years away. Shame it wasn't for longer :(

    I was going to say 'What's Love Got to Do with It', but I think your choice was released a little earlier.  +1 for Tina, anyway.

  • "I'd Do Anything for Love" by Meat Loaf. Up to the release of BooH II he was considered washed up and a bit of a joke. This was his biggest-selling single ever.

    The 'albums after we cleaned up' - and the singles released from them - deserve a mention I reckon. Steve Ray Vaughan's 'In Step', Motley Crue's 'Dr. Feelgood', Aerosmith's 'Pump', Clapton's 'Journeyman'.

    Debateable as to whether or not they were the artists' best, but all pretty big sellers on the back of new-found sobriety - artists who were, to a greater or lesser extent, pretty much washed up beforehand.

    Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love.

    Came out in the midst of the grunge explosion - couldn't be any more different!

    Cliff Richard's Devil Woman deserves a mention.

    Manfred Mann's Blinded by the Light came along 9 years after they had disappeared from sight. That's worth mentioning too.

    It's a Springsteen track though isn't it?

    My head said brake, but my heart cried never.

    Of which there's a cheeky reference by Tony Iommi in Black Sabbath's Lady Evil.

    Yeah, but don't hold that against it.

    Prior to MM's brilliant cover, it was just another pile of ugly moaning buried in a turgid mix, same as every other Springsteen song.

    Is it not also a different band (Manfred Mann’s Earth Band) a complete different entity to the band who sang  doo Wah diddy

    I wouldn’t describe  Pump , Feelgood and Journeyman as comeback albums , just albums that sold exceptionally well  each of these albums had at least 2 or 3 great albums before it that were greatly thought of

    Well, it still had Manfred Mann in it !  :3

    Fair point though, it's like another Fleetwood Mac.

    Wire

    Still feels weird that there was a 12-13 year gap between their Manscape and Send albums.  In The Art Of Stopping was the opener on Send, and sounded like they'd (1) never been away, and (2)  rediscovered their spikey Pink Flag essence.  Great track.
