A thread about the best 3 albums in a row from a band (personal taste - not a competiton)

For me

Biffy Clyro - Blackened Sky, Vertigo of Bliss, Infinity Land

Devo - Are We Not Men We Are Devo, Duty Now For the Future, Freedom of Choice

Smashing Pumpkins - Gish, Siamese Dream, Mellom Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Idlewild - Hope is Important, 100 Broken Windows, The Remote Part

Pearl Jam - Ten, Vs, Vitalogy

Pixies - Doolittle, Bossanova, Trompe Le Monde

Elbow - Cast of Thousands, Leaders of the Free World, The Seldom Seen Kid

Radiohead - Choose any 3 albums in a row

I'm sure there are many others - personal choice though!!

Seconded.

Radiohead - The Bends, Ok Computer & Kid A is pretty hard to top too.

Also The Church - Heyday, Starfish & Gold Afternoon Fix or Starfish, Gold Afternoon Fix & Priest = Aura

With a name like that.. a comment like that is hardly unexpected ;) But imo they aren't overall great albums. Some good songs but I'm not a fan of atleast half on each.

haha yeah i suppose my colours are bit too easy to see, ah you sound like my brother, he likes 4-5 songs each radiohead album but hasnt grasped the feel of the albums in thier entirity...(yet, everyone comes around;))
 
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals
Tool - Undertow, Aenima, Lateralus
Alice In Chains - Facelift, Dirt, Self Titled

I dont know about best 3 albums in a row but if you add 'The Wall' they definately have the best 4 albums in a row

Agree with these 3 for The Beatles.

Metallica - Master of Puppets/ ...And Justice For All/ Metallica
or Ride The Lightning/ Master Of Puppets/ ...And Justice For All
Agree with the RTL/MOP/Justice but I'd prefer Kill 'Em All over the Black Album in the other trio (but only just).


Others personal favourites that haven't been mentioned yet:

A Tribe Called Quest - Peoples Instinctive Travels..., Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders.
Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express, The Man-Machine, Computer World.

OK Computer isn't a great album? You obviously haven't listened to it enough, it's as close to musical genius as I have come across. Only Tool's Aenima can rival it imo. Both those albums are mindblowing and are on another level to anything else I've heard.

The Bends and Kid A are both great albums too but suffer in comparison to OK Computer.
