her big comeback hit & the biggest (non-holiday) hit of her career on the Hot 100! play a record considered a comeback or return to form for the artist

When Lou Barlow quit/was fired from Dinosaur Jr. after Bug, J would go on to release some excellent albums (as would Lou with Sebadoh) no one ever thought these two would get back together and that their reunion would be so damn good!
 
Day 27: Don’t Forget About Us
the Mariah hit I’d once considered the most forgettable until about a few months ago when it finally clicked for me. play a record you consider ‘unforgettable’ (for better or worse, or both!)

A beautifully ambitious record I come back to over and over and over again...











The Clash - Sandinista!

Day 26: Shake It Off
the Calgon commercial reference is the lyric that stands out the most to me on this song. play a record you heard in a commercial or something that sounds like it could be in a commercial

The Outkast "Speakerboxxx / The Love below" (2003 Arista ; 2010 reissue)
Has "Hey Ya!" been in a commercial? Probably.

Also, I’ve never felt older than when I saw an Arthritic Cream commercial featuring “The Way You Move”.

I’ve been listening to this album since the day it was released on CD. Seems like an album I’ll never shake.

Seeing as I referenced this album in a previous post, it's clear it's unforgettable for me. Even (or especially?) the cover art.

While this album isn't "unforgettable" in a classic or really bad sort of way, right now it's unforgettable because I can't stop thinking of a few of the song lyrics in my head since I played it last week....damn earworms.

Led Zeppelin- Houses of the Holy

Not my favorite Zeppelin record, not even close. I think it’s very uneven and spotty in some places. But it’ll always hold a special place in my heart. I was quiet young when I first heard it, and it opened me up to the entire world of classic rock at large. An era of music that I’m very fond of. Even if I was born decades later.

Day 28: Touch My Body
Play a great late-career record.

The released Apple Venus and Wasp Star (Apple Venus Vol. 2) in 1999/2000 and then were done. I much prefer Volume 1 over 2, but don't dislike Volume 2 as much as most people do.

That being said, I think I like the demo albums they released of both volumes better than the finished products.
