Bands who's chances came, went and then came back again
As a sequel to my previous thread:

There clearly are exceptions to this. Obviously both Suede and Ash got massive with their first albums, seemed to be on a downward spiral with the second albums (commercially I mean - Dog Man Star is my favourite album of all time whilst Ash's "Numbskull" is probably the best 'career commerical low point single' anyone's released ever) and then got possibly bigger than ever on album #3.
In smaller terms, and going back to my original thread, I can't think of any at the moment but I'm sure there are bands who had the "buzz" about them, lost that buzz and then somehow did manage to get it back and make the breakthrough.
Examples, anyone?
