Long hill down after debut album

   Mike Oldfiend managed to release several good albums, but IMO his peak was "Tubular Bells" and his latest works are much weaker.

I'm sure there are many other cases, but I can't remember now.

	Which band peaked at its debut album, but thereafter went down? It is not right to say they went far down, but Marillion's peak was with Script. Script was the Mount Everest. There have been some Mont Blancs.... Steven Hackett. He had a great debut, a very nice second album, a good third, an ok fourth..... etc. etc. There must be more bands who lost the creativity after their debut album. It would have been Pink Floyd's Debut album with Syd Barret (didn't he die recently?) if it wasn't for the fact that the others could even write better songs.
