Those are all the artists I own albums by who have released followups either equal to or stronger than their debuts in my opinion. Some of these artists debut albums were decidedly weak enough to where I don't even own them (Radiohead, for example). Color me not worried about Arcade Fire though since that's not the case with them.

The best example I can come up with is The Strokes. They were apparently going to be the saviours of rock but followed up with an album that couldn't match Is This It?. I guess another example might be Alanis Morrisette.
