Best Last Record

What artists created a hallmark recording but then never released another studio album?
First thing I think of is Roxy Music- "Avalon".
Of course, Brian Ferry went on to release solo records and the band still toured.
Maybe Roxy Music couldn't have surpassed "Avalon" but that record showed so much promise, I can't help feeling they left something on the table.

Hawks - 30 Seconds over Otho, although technically a third album was put out 20 years later from leftover masters.

'Strangeways' better than 'Queen Is Dead'?

'Avalon' better than 'Country Life'?
'Closer' better than 'Unknown Pleasures'?
'Tin Drum' better than GTP?
I thought we were talking about just great last albums, not necessarily that band's 'Best'.
