Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist

Onhwy61, I find your post highly objectionable. I don't know whether it was arrogance or ignorance which caused you to confuse your opinions with "fact".

That quality which makes a particular album or group of albums "great" is highly subjective and open to interpretation. The other posts have expressed their heartfelt opinions and I respect that. While I may agree or disagree with a particular post, I do not have the right to elevate my opinions above all others by calling them "fact". And neither do you.

One point I think we can all agree on is that it is an extraordinarily difficult task for an artist or group of artists to have 5 "great" albums in a row. Even the best will stumble from time to time.

Whew, have I ever been walking around in a fog. For years, I have been laboring under the delusion that the Clash's debut album, Steely Dan's "Pretzel Logic," and Joni Mitchell's "Blue" were all classics!

Thanks for setting us straight, Onhwy61. :-)

Can't argue with Joni, Gabriel, Steely Dan or the Beatles

Here's a stab at a few not mentioned yet

Genesis - Foxtrot, Live, Selling England, Lamb Lies Down,
Trick of the Tail, Wind and Weathering, Seconds Out
then it goes quickly downhill ala Phil Collins

Todd Rundgren Ballad of, 2nd album(?), Something/Anything, Wizard True Star, Todd, Hermit of Mink Hollow

Bowie - Alladin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station To Station

King Crimson - Larks Tongue, Starless, Red, Discipline, Beat

Tom Petty's late 70's early 80's although it sounds dated now

Elvis Costello - Aim is True, This Years Model, Armed Forces, Trust, Imperial Bedroom (oops almost blue)

pre stevie/lindsey Bob Green era Fleetwood Mac Future Games, Heroes are Hard to Find, Bare Trees,and Mystery to Me

Coltrane, Monk, Mingus

Kinsekd, my tongue was firmly in cheek and that's a fact! Waltersalas, I have multiple copies of every Steely Dan album because I've worn them out from so much listening. I also have 3 copies of Mitchell's "Blue" for the same reason.

Also, when starting the post I never meant to set a standard of 5 consecutive masterpiece albums. Just 2 or 3 in a row is truly amazing.

The word fan is derived from fanatic and be definition fanatics have a hard time agreeing on anything.

forgot one

talking heads 77
more songs about buildings and food
fear of music
name of this band is t h
remain in light
speaking in tongues

then quickly downhill
