To each his own I suppose.
EDIT: I should ask, have you listened to Calculating Infinity?

[quote name='Ugamer_X']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]
Sorry, but as much as I like The Wall it is far overrated (but not as much as that tripe Gilmour tried to hawk off as "Momentary Lapse Of Reason"). I do agree that its a Roger Waters solo album but I prefer The Fnal Cut over The Wall in general.
And to contribute to the best 3-Album run in History...
Roger Waters: Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking - Radio K.A.O.S. - Amused To Death
Ace Of Base: The Bridge - Flowers - Da Capo

[quote name='Ledhed']Yup. I'm not the type to hype something I don't know about, so don't worry about that.[/quote]
Yeah, I was going to argue that most of the ideas that came to fruition on CI originated on URB, but then I thought about the fact that I like tomato sauce even though I detest tomatoes.
So I guess I can understand, but Irony was pretty weak unless you're a huge Patton fan.

I don't really count the live compilation since it's not really an album.
Edit: I like all of their albums, but my favorite tunes are on 311 and Transistor. From Chaos is really good too.

I don't see how they ever will touch Soundsystem. That is there most brilliant album to me.
Anyways, I think the best 3 album runs have been metioned: Tool, RATM, Led Zeppelin (they never had a bad album!)
I'm going to throw this one out:
Portihead: Dummy - (self-titled) - PNYC (Live album, but I think it counts)

Nah, that can't work like that. Mind you they are cold cds, but BlackStar is Mos & Tweli and since Mos and Kweli wasn't made another album together that can't count.

my personal favorite is failure's 3 studio discs:
comfort
magnified
fantastic planet (best rock album of the 90's IMO)
i think the best run ever was david bowie during the 70's. hard to pick 3, but if they have to be back to back releases i'd go with:
hunky dory
the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars (probably my favorite album of all time, complete masterpiece from start to finish)
aladdin sane

Yeah I know. I needed 3 albums and I won't let those 2 classics stay off this list. Technically, his other 2 albums are also compilations. There are more guys on those albums than a No Limit album from the late 90's.

[quote name='raregamergirl']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)[/quote]
Not originally from Columbus, but lived there for a bit. I'm in Dayton, OH now.
Yeah, I love watershed, been to many of their shows. I'll be going to the Cinco de Mayo show at Flannagans with a buddy who still lives in Cols.

I used to be, about 6 years ago on a first name basis with Colin, but he didn't recognize me last time I saw him.

yeah, bought it about a year and a half ago when i first heard about it on the local college radio station. i love the track 'wake up.' dvd is really cool too, along with the commentaries. it's amazing greg didn't end up among the rock and roll tragedies of the 90's.
i never knew about the replicants until watching the dvd, and about a month later stumbled upon a copy of that cd at a used cd store. great collection of cover songs.

Okay, this is going to sound biased, given my public adoration, but I vote Pearl Jam. Ten, Vs., and Vitalogy. Of course, I'd consider Stone Temple Pilots, with Core, Purple, and Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop - but that selection is not without bias either. Hehehe...

Glad to hear someone else appreciates Mental Jewelry. Ed's lyrics on that album are so far beyond anything else I've ever heard. He addresses so many spiritual issues so eloquently in just 12 songs, it really helped shape the way I see the world.
Secret Samadhi... I can see why some people who were fans of the 1st two albums didn't get into it, but I love it just as much as the others. Lakini's Juice, Turn My Head, Gas Hed Goes West, Heropsychodreamer... all amazing songs. I'll admit there are a few on there that are harder too appreciate or might have made better B-Sides, but I still love it.
That, and they followed up with the excellent Distance to Here, which always makes a black sheep album a little easier to like
Let's not even discuss what came after #4, though...
