Wishbone Ash released one of their worst albums, Locked In, in 1976. Later that same year they redeemed themselves with New England.

True, although bands these days seem to take longer and longer gaps between releasing albums. Quite opposite from the tour-record-tour-record cycle that bands used to follow almost every year (and somehow yielded some excellent albums!)

Yeah, I'm definitely referring to bands that released two or more independent vinyl recordings from the 60's-80's(ish).

This thread took off.

Strawbs Ghosts was arguably their best album (1975), and later that year came Nomadness, arguably their worst. They never recovered from this, well, not in the prog era anyway. One could argue that their releases in the last decade have redeemed their unique prog/folk mix, particularly their latest "The Ferryman's Curse"
