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.

Moody Blues:
1. Days of Future Passed
2. In Search of the Lost Chord
3. A Question of Balance
4. On the Threshold of a Dream
5. To Our Children's Children's Children
6. Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
7. Seventh Sojourn

Probably the best consecutive albums every produced by ANY artist! (IMHO)

Thanks Treyhoss, I'd forgotten To Our Children's Children's Children. This was a great run indeed.

The first four by The Ramones (The best damn four in a row by anyone, anytime, ever)

The first five by The Clash (none of these were as good as any of the above Ramones albums, but there were no stinkers in this sequence either)

Everything by The Pogues (until Shane left)

Everything by The Rolling Stones (until Goat's Head Soup, whereupon The Stones proceeded to set a still unbroken record for the longest streak of totally crappy albums by any band!)

Truth be told, my fellow gonsters, the question as to who has released the most consecutive great rock dics has to come down to either Van Morrison or Bob Dylan. Both veterans are now in the midst of an astonishingly strong hitting streak.

I would like to add Radiohead: The Bends - OK Computer - Kid A. Not only are all three of these albums great, they all have a markedly different sound and show the progression of one of the most creative bands of recent years.
