The Bends by Radiohead

Sap by Alice in Chains

GnR lies or Illusions by Guns n Roses

Peace Sells

With the Beatles

Axis Bold as Love

Vulgar Display of Power, Thriller and the MMLP if they count.

Meantime by Helmet

Led Zeppelin II

Purple by STP

Paranoid

Nevermind

Thriller isn't a sophomore unless you ignore his pre-Epic work.

I agree. Thriller isn't REALLY MJ's 2nd album. Even if you ignore his J5 stuff, he had at least one, perhaps 2 OFFICIAL Motown albums.

Well yeah hence why I suffixed those three albums with "if they count" considering most folks couldn't give a shit about Metal Magic, Got to be There and Infinite, respectively.

10. Nevermind - Nirvana ( is this really they second album)

yes, Bleach was their first album released by Sub Pop, Nevermind was their second album and was released by Geffen

I guess I was sort of going for major label sophomore. In Utero maybe better fit. But Bleach was rereleased on Geffen?

It was rereleased by Geffen yes. But I don't think it is correct to consider only "major" label releases, in that case 'Ixnay on the Ombre' is The Offspring's debut album cos it was the first one to be released exclusively by Columbia?

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 - Coheed and Cambria

Oh yes.

Totally forgot to put Coheed on my list - In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 is a great album.

It is still my favourite album from them, although I know most people rate Good Apollo 1 higher

Sothern Harmony is a great record best of the 90s good. Slave to the Grind as well. Monkey Business best video of all times. I see you rolling I'm drunk

Posted

ohhhh shit i forgot slave to the grind was the sophomore album! Fuck, knock of This Is Gonna Hurt and put that on. If Thriller is being counted as MJ's second (even though it's not!) knock off cheap trick and replace it with MJ on my list

Posted (edited)

You do not pick or choose what is considered an artist's second album. Thriller is de jure et de facto, MJ's sixth album.

Ones I haven't seen:

High N Dry - Def Leppard. Arguably their best record and just Leppard in all their glory. Bravo guys.

Tangled In Reins - Steelheart. Phenomenal album from a great unknown band. They made a masterpiece here then the band sadly fell apart.

Journey - Look Into The Future. Just recently discovered this, but a phenomenal sophomore album that is just classic 70s.

The Man Who Sold the World was Bowie's third album.

The Man Who Sold the World was Bowie's third album.

Oh, technicality! But yes, you are correct. I forgot cause everyone considers the Space Oddity album his real first album that I forgot Man Who Sold The World is technically his third record.
