Bands with great second albums

Starcastle - Fountains Of Light
Marshall Tucker Band - A New Life
The Stooges - Fun House 

Many good suggestions. Best I've heard is 'Volume 2: Release', Afro Celt Sound System's second. One of my three desert island discs.

Actually their third, but Supertramp "Crime of the century" I think needs to be mentioned. Still remember the record shop decorating the whole store with the album cover. Sensational music.

+1 for The Wild, the Innocent, the E street shuffle. A peak for Bruce. Can he do it again?

Great selections here. There are many but I will add Queen II

Santana "Abraxas"
Steely Dan "Countdown To Ecstasy"
Lyle Lovett "Pontiac"
