Bands with great second albums

@bdp24 

Agreed, the second is much better. Better sound, better songs, better singing, and I say that as a fan of the debut. Yes, I do like the Continental Drifters cover as well. Excellent. Have you heard Return of the Grievous Angel, an entire album of Parsons covers? There is some cool stuff on that, and perhaps a few head scratchers. Overall, a fun record, and one I probably play as much or more than GP, but not Grievous Angel.

Jefferson Airplane -- After Bathing at Baxter's (best SF acid rock album EVUH!)
Buffalo Springfield Again

Van Moprrison -- Veedon Fleece

Good ones tseliot, though After Bathing is The Airplane's 3rd album (the 2nd with Grace; they had a different singer and drummer---Skip Spence, later in Moby Grape---on the 1st album, Takes Off). And Veedon Fleece, from 1974, is Van's 8th album!

Butthole Surfers "Rembrandt Pussyhorse."

waltersalas, vg list, altho i though "leave home" was decidedly weaker than the debut.
