Point being, Nurse was a fantastic comeback album for a band who spent ten plus years in "sonic who?" limbo with the average music fan and I'll fight all of you.

I can't think of any. Once you go bad, it's over.

I pretty much figured that he was joking around and being a dick, but maybe I'm the one who's retarded.

RHCP: Californication - Love em or hate em, it's hard to deny how much this album breathed life back into RHCP's career. Even with JF leaving a 2nd time, it didn't stop them.
Metallica: Death Magnetic - The return of old school Metallica, which many fans had been clamoring for for years. Then, LuLu happened and people gave up, only to get another comeback with Hardwired...To Self Destruct, which captures all of Metallica's styles perfectly. James vocals are amazing on this record, too.
I did also quite enjoy King Animal and Black Gives Way To Blue.
DMB: Big Whisky & The Groogrux King. Finally, a great DMB record that stood up alongside the first 3 and The Lillywhite Sessions.
STP: S/T. This record should've gotten more attention.
Aerosmith: Permanent Vacation. The record that helped them shape their next decade, when it all crashed & burned with I Don't Want To Miss A Thing in 1998, even though Nine Lives was really when it came off the rails.

Pro tip: I actually was laughing.

Personally, Schmilco made me care about Wilco again.

Wait, so, are we fighting or are we in agreement?
You're right. Murray Street was the comeback.

This is probably more common with solo artists. Neil Young comes to mind.

Oh yeah, that's a good one.[/quote]
Have you heard the Unmastered version? I prefer it to the official release, as does Flea, according to rumors..
