What bands/singers second albums can you think of that were better than their debut?

One I can think of just now is Blur's Modern Life Is Rubbish which is better than Leisure.

I will need to think about others.

Most obvious tae me...Led Zep 2....forerunner for 'Classic' British Rock!

The only Led Zep album I have is Mothership.

Give em enough rope was better than The Clash .Especially side one . Safe European home is one of The Clash's best songs . Julie's been working for the drug squad is another cracker . This album was more refined than the first .Is that a good thing though . Probably not , it hasn't got quite as much raw energy as the first .

It was followed up by London Calling . Are we going to have a 3rd album better than everything ? Because London Calling would win it hands down .

This is the modern world was The Jams 2nd album and was a bit of a let down after their great debut In The City . However once again it was followed up with a classic .All Mod Cons . Another 3rd album that was brilliant.

What's the Story made them massive but I prefer the rawness of their debut.
