Greatest second album in rock history?

Some bands just need more time to get their own best songs in there...

Led Zeppelin II

In my expert opinion, this comes down to Zep II and Nevermind. Hard for me to say which was more influential...Zep II basically was the blueprint for an entire genre of music and Nevermind is the most important rock record of the past 30 years. I went with personal taste for the tie breaker.

Some notable honorary mentions...

The Band - The Band
Countdown to Ecstasy - Steely Dan
Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (not really a rock record though)
Rolling Stones - 12 x 5
Rumors - Fleetwood Mac (they basically were a whole new band in 1975 just with the same name)
Imagine - John Lennon
Odelay - Beck

I've got an 8-track, and I'm not afraid to use it.

That's a great album


The queen of diamonds let you down,
She was just an empty fable
The queen of hearts you say you never met
Your twisted fate has found you out
And it's fin'lly turned the tables
Stole your dreams and paid you with regret

Breaks my heart you didn't vote for NY. Cowgirl in the Sand, Cinnamon Girl and Down by the River all one one record? The Eagles couldn't hold Neil's jock strap for 10 seconds.
