Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist

There are periods where an artist or a group reach a creative peak and release a series of consecutive albums that are all masterpieces. These are an artists' Golden Age. Just curious, but what do you consider the golden age records of your favorite artists. Must be consecutive and "Greatest Hits" not allowed.

My fav is Stevie Wonder from:

Music of the Mind
Talking Book
Innervision
Forfillingness First Finale
Songs In the Key of Life

Five incredible albums in four years.

John Hiatt had a nice run in the late eighties with:

Bring The Family
Stolen Moments
Slow Turning.

He had done some great stuff earlier, and he's done some great stuff since - but those three are the rabbit passing through the snake.

Husker Du. Zen Arcade followed by New Day Rising.

Allmans. Fillmore East then Eat a Peach.

Also agree with the Little Feat and Steely Dan mentions.

@reubent 

Honestly I didn't even notice the date.  I was prompted to post because this thread was in the "More to discover" forum topics in the right-hand column at the top of the page.  So the blame or credit for bumping this thread should go to the AudiogoN staffer who put it there.

Too funny!

Whoever or whatever is to blame, this is a thread worth resurrection (in my O-pinion). Good on you @hifijones .

@reubent - Nice call on Lucinda, I’d add West to her run of studio albums. Don’t know Little Honey, but Blessed is another strong one. Haven’t kept up with Bone or Ghosts. Don’t know her live albums. She might deserve credit for a run of 10 solid studio recordings.

My contribution:
World Party/Karl Wallinger: Private Revolution, Goodbye Jumbo, Bang!
(I like Egyptology and Dumbing Up too but have a soft spot for the first 3)

Damien Jurado: St. Bartlett, Maraqopa, Bros. & Sisters of the Eternal Son
(Magical stuff)
