-AC/DC reached their pinnacle when they released T.N.T.
-Bruce Willis reached his pinnacle with Die Hard.
-Many people think Chevy Chase reached his pinnacle with Caddyshack, but it was really National Lampoon’s European Vacation.
-Every actor on Cheers reached their pinnacle while on the show.
-Stephen King reached his pinnacle with The Stand, but the Dark Tower series may outdo it depending on how it wraps up.

Chevy Chase reached it with Saturday Night Live.
Michael J. Fox - Back To The Future movies.
Robin Williams reached his pinnacle with Aladdin. Or maybe Hook.
Rod Stewart reached his pinnacle with Maggie May. He’s done really good stuff since then, but none quite up to that.
Disagree about Stephen King. Loved, loved, loved The Stand, but think The Green Mile is as good in its own way.
Metallica- The Black album. Everything released after this has not measured up to what they had put out beforehand.

Kevin Spacey appears to have peaked with American Beauty, though I am holding out hope for the upcoming The Life of David Gale.

Oh I don’t think that’s true for Cheers- Woody Harrelson has gotten a lot of good movie roles, and Kelsey Grammer still has the equally popular “Frasier.”
Personally I think the Simpsons reached its pinnacle with “Natural Born Kissers.” From then on, it was hit and miss- some good, some bad. But never great.
I disagree about Star Trek reaching its pinnace with The Next Generation. I personally believe Deep Space Nine to be the superior show in terms of dynamic characters and storylines.
TNG was just too utopian and perfect. You need some conflict.
And I think R.E. reached their pinnacle with “Fables of the Reconstruction.”
That should say R.E.M., dammit.

The Old 97s peaked with Too Far to Care sniff
