What's the Best 3-Album Run in History?

[quote name='Richlough']Dude , no way , Ill Communication is like Check Your Head part 2 .[/QUOTE]And that's a bad thing how? :lol:

I just can't get into Licensed to Ill. There's a few good tracks, but I don't like the feel of it. "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" and "Paul Revere" are great though.

Plus if you include Ill Communication you can add Hello Nasty on the the end there, and make it 4 in a row. Or 5, if you must. Hell, throw in To The 5 Boroughs and make it 6. :lol:

Certainly respect your opinion, as I love Bikini Kill, but I think the combination of punk energy that predicated and exceeded Nirvana, combined with musicial proficiency above fellow Seattle native Jimi Hendrix (don't get me wrong, I love Hendrix and Cobain as well) makes Greg Sage and the Wipers simply unparalled. God, I've got to listen to some Bikini Kill now, though. Great, great stuff.

I'm just gonna agree to disagree , I see your point .
I just like Licensed to Ill because it has that old school Run Dmc / Rick Rubin sound , that's all .
Oh , and I hated Hello Nasty , But I love To The Five Boroughs .
 
Quillion, are you from Columbus, OH? I did not realize that anyone knew who watershed was outside of Columbus. Amazing band, met them couple times now, seen them several as well, one of my favorite bands (and they are obviously from Columbus as well)
 
Not the greatest of all time, but a few runs that I really enjoyed in my youth:

Blur - Parklife, The Great Escape, S/t
Our Lady Peace - Clumsy, Happiness is..., Spiritual Machines
The first 3 STP albums
 
System of a Down:

Toxicity

Mesmorize

Hypnotize

(Steal This Album came out after Toxicity but since it was a "rejects" album, I'm not counting it. Though if you want to count it, it's still a great album and still fits the best three albums criteria.)
 
Queens of the Stone Age, bitches. Hell; they had a four album run:

Queens of the Stone Age (Self-titled)
Rated R
Songs for the Deaf
Lullabies to Paralyze

The Cardigans, as well:

Gran Turismo
Long Gone Before Daylight
Super Extra Gravity
 
No outkast love, come on!!

Outkast- Aquemini, Stankonia, Speakerboxxx & The Love Below
Ghostface- Iron Man, Supreme Clientele, Bulletproof Wallets
Michael Jackson- Off the wall, Thriller and Bad

Metallica- Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppetz, ...And Justice For All [but to be perfectly 100% honest i LOVE all of their albums no exceptions]

Alice In Chains- Facelift,EP-SAP, Dirt, EP-Jar of Flies, and Self Titled Alice in Chains or as some fans call it Tripod.

TOOL- Undertow, Aenema, Lateralus
 
Metallica: RtL, MoP, AJFA, Black, Load, ReLoad (the rest are good too...)
The Strokes: Is This It?, Room On Fire, First Impressions of Earth
SoaD: all of them (- Steal This Album, which breaks it up in a very unfortunate place; STA wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as the rest of them IMO)
NIN: TDS, The Fragile, With Teeth
R+: Sehnsucht, Mutter, Reise, Reise, and Rosenrot
I agree with Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, DotU)...DotU is actually my favorite of the three...
 
Rage Against the Machine -> Evil Empire -> Battle of Los Angeles
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. -> Make Yourself -> Morning View
One hot Minute -> Californication -> By the Way
 
[quote name='striker199'] One hot Minute -> Californication -> By the Way[/quote]
This one should be growing very soon (hopefully...Dani California is awesome!)
 
Great topic OP but I would change your Pearl jam to 10-VS-vitalogy. I can't stand Yield and 10 although radio friendly had not a single weak song.
ANyways I add

RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magik-One hot minute-Californication. People hate on one hot minute because Navarro replaced one of the members but I think it was a brilliant album and my second favorite behind californication
AerosmithPermanent vacation-Pump-Get a grip This was before they sold out all the way just some greats ongs on those three albums
Disturbed Thesickness-Believe-10,000 fists. I love these guys metal with an underlying melody. Albums are solid all the way through

Also I think you could take any three Tupac albums and they would qualify. As long as you made the cut off at all the posthumous crap that got released
 
here's three that i thought of, in addition to some of the other ones mentioned:

leonard cohen:
songs, songs from a room, songs of love and hate

neko case:
furnace room lullaby, blacklisted, fox confessor brings the flood

neurosis:
souls at zero, enemy of the sun, through silver in blood
 
311 - Transistor - Sound System

Dillinger Escape Plan - Under the Running Board - Calculating Infinity (one is an EP, but it's far better than their latest full length)

I think the Rage trilogy is also pretty integral.

Vision of Disorder - Imprint - For the Bleeders
 
Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales, To Mega Therion, and Into the Pandemonium

Queensryche - Rage for Order, Operation:Mindcrime, and Empire

King Diamond - Fatal Portrait, Abigail, and Them

Tallica - Kill'em All, Lightning, and Puppets
 
I'm going to try as hard as possible to stay to the 3-record limit. fuck cheating.

IV - Houses of the Holy - Physical Graffiti
Queens of the Stone Age - R - Songs for the Deaf
Calculating Infinity - Irony Is A Dead Scene - Miss Machine
Sailing the Seas of Cheese - Pork Soda - Tales From the Punchbowl
Fashion Nugget - Prolonging the Magic - Comfort Eagle
Clutch - Elephant Riders - Pure Rock Fury
GodWeenSatan - Pure Guava - Chocolate and Cheese
Remission - Leviathan - New one coming out this year (Call of the Mastodon doesn't count)
 
[quote name='Demolition Man']The Final Cut > The Wall[/QUOTE]
Nothing really wrong with that album, but it doesn't even touch The Wall. Plus, it's basically a Roger Waters album, with Mason and Gilmour in background roles.
 
[quote name='WeaponX2099']No outkast love, come on!!

Outkast- Aquemini, Stankonia, Speakerboxxx & The Love Below

[quote name='thatstoobad']neurosis:
souls at zero, enemy of the sun, through silver in blood[/QUOTE]

:applause: though I'm more a fan of their "less experimental" music, and I'd have to shift back a few albums to include Word as Law and Pain of Mind on there. EotS is by far their best though.

Blitz, thanks to you, I will never say "MEHtallica" again. It will always be "Tallica" or "Talliker". You are a hero. :rofl: :rofl:

Whomever gave the entire Bad Religion discography the nod is giving way too much credit to their body of work on Recipe for Hate on. Hell, I dunno what order what came out in, but "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?," "No Control," and "Suffer" should satisfy anyone's desire for BR at any point in time. If you're an absolute masochist, then download a copy of "Into the Unknown." You won't know WHAT to think once you live in a world where you can no longer deny that it IS Greg Graffin singing those songs.

Good show on the first three Bosstones' albums. I don't agree on Pennywise at all (s/t notwithstanding), but I also don't think that you listed all of their consecutive albums, instead skipping a few.
 
Rush: Permanent Waves('80) - Moving Pictures('81) - Signals('82)

Thrice: The Illusion of Safety - The Artist In The Ambulance - Vheissu

Coheed and Cambria: The Second Stage Turbine Blade - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3 - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV
 
[quote name='Brak']
The Cardigans, as well:

Gran Turismo
Long Gone Before Daylight
Super Extra Gravity[/QUOTE]


Nice, they also have a good 5 album run with life and FBOTM

Built to Spill:
There is Nothin Wrong With Love
Perfect from now ON
Keep it like a Secret
 
I'll agree with Recipe was the start of the downfall but I will admit to liking Stranger Than Fiction and Gray Race. I honestly started to get lazy at the end and just said all of them. Completly forgot about How Could Hell be any Worse.

Yeah, I dropped the ball on listing the Pennywise cds. I was going off the top of my head and I still forgot my second favorite cd from them, Land of the Free.

And before anyone says anything about Moka Only. The guy released 13 cds in a span of 6 years and I really don't know what came out when so I stuck with the Battle Axe releases.

For some reason I was thinking another album existed between Houses and Physical, probably because javeryh left Physical off of his list in the OP. :oops: Bastard. ;)

Good call on Cake. :cool:[quote name='jrhawk42'](White Stripes) White Blood Cells, De Stili, self titled[/QUOTE]That's De Stijl, but I'm more upset that I didn't put them on my list. Every one of their albums have been excellent. :cool:
 
I definitely agree with The Bends - OK Computer - Kid A as well as Black Celebration - Music For The Masses - Violator

and I'll add:

Power, Corruption & Lies - Low-Life - Brotherhood - Technique (yeah, I know it's four)

Diamonds & Pearls - 0(+> - The Gold Experience

Peter Gabriel 3 - Security - So

Money - Angst - Nihil

It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back - Fear Of a Black Planet - Apocolypse 91
 
I can't believe this four album run hasn't been mentioned yet:
Rolling Stones: Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street
 
Music From the Big Pink - The Band - Stage Fright

Parsley Sage Rosemary & Thyme, Bookends, Bridge Over Troubled Water

Agreed with Led Zep. Throw in Graffitti and give them a 6 album run.

Also agree with Richlough's Beasties list. You have to include their debut album in the run, not debateable.

Doh, overlooked RS myself :lol:

And good pull on PE. That is a great run.
 
Here's a great run for you - one of the best:

born to run
darkness on the edge of town
the river
nebraska
born in the u.s.a.

Now that's a run!
 
Great topic

I've got two runs I like

Green - Out of Time - Automatic for the People (R.E.M)
Under the Table and Dreaming - Crash - Before These Croweded Streets (Dave Matthews Band)

and to a lesser extent because I'd surprised if 10 people know this band...

Math and Other Problems - Hey! Album - ReadySexGo (Marvelous 3)

[quote name='Ledhed']
Calculating Infinity - Irony Is A Dead Scene - Miss Machine

How could you leave out Under the Running Board, yet include Irony is a Dead Scene?
 
[quote name='strummerbs']The Clash/ Give 'em Enough Rope/ London Calling

All Mod Cons/Setting Sons/Sound Affects (The Jam)[/quote]

I agree on both counts, but with one caveat:

You're right the fuck on with the Jam!
