Bands/Artists Who Struck Gold Twice (Or More)

    This is the thread for bands and singer/songwriters who released not just one, but TWO albums you would consider to be classics. More specifically, this is somebody who has released their definitive "magnum opus" and somehow manages to release another album with just as much impact.

    I find this to be extremely rare, even among my very favorite bands/artists. But here is my (very) short list.

    Andrew Peterson:
    Light for the Lost Boy (2012)
    The Burning Edge of Dawn (2015)

    Bon Iver:
    For Emma, Forever Ago (2007)
    Bon Iver, Bon Iver (2011)

    Mew:
    And the Glass Handed Kites (2005)
    No More Stories Are Told Today, I'm Sorry They Washed Away // No More Stories, The World Is Grey, I'm Tired, Let's Wash Away (2009)

    Sufjan Stevens:
    Illinois (2005)
    Carrie & Lowell (2015)

    Note: Considering how much Thrice's new album is continuing to blow me away, I may add To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere to this list with Vheissu pretty soon.
