Warren Zevon's second album, the self titled "Warren Zevon" is, to me, his best album. His third album, "Excitable Boy" isn't bad either.
the difficult second Lp
Well worn story...band has years to hone their craft and make an amazing debut LP...then falters miserably..due to pressure, success, expectations. etc. There are always exceptions. Zep II, etc. Any train wreck sophomore efforts come to mind? Stone Roses, U2, VH all stumbled a bit on a follow up to a promising debut. On the flip side , any second LPs that really stand out?
