Best 3 album run by any band/artist

[Soma.]

Meh, let the man have his Sabbath. I only started listening to them a few years ago. What classifies as a "Big hitter" is relative and generational, after all.

MASSIVE ATTACK:
Blue Lines>Protection>Mezzanine

Protection lets this run down, unfortunately. 100th Window is a better album but obviously breaks the run of three.

They kinda fell off my radar after Mezzanine, I'll have to check it out..

You guys can put whatever bands you want, I was speaking for myself only.

I'll admit I forgot about Amnesiac due it being a leftovers album, much the same way I skipped over Pisces Iscariot for my Smashing Pumpkins run.

I'm not a big The Bends or Hail to the Thief fan, and they book-end their finest albums.

I suppose the obvious choice would be The Bends>OK Computer>Kid A, but im not a huge fan of the band, although The Bends is fucking awesome!

that would be my choice, but i think that most people would say OK Computer>Kid A>Amnesiac

Amnesiac never did to much for me, Kid A was also a little out of my comfort zone, but still a pretty good album.

OKC through to Amnesiac is incredible.

THE CURE: Seventeen Seconds > Faith > Pornography

Also, The Head on the Door > Kiss Me > Disintegration

[Kral]

Looking to find a suitable CLUTCH sequence, but haven't decided on one yet...

[Soma.]

Blast Tyrant>Robot Hive>Beale Street, although Self-Titled through Jam Room is no slouch.

[Birds in Hell]

THE CURE: Seventeen Seconds > Faith > Pornography

Also, The Head on the Door > Kiss Me > Disintegration

[Soma.]

Both are great but I favor '2black's run slightly.

[Kral]

Looking at either Clutch> Elephant Riders>Jam Room or Blast>Robot>Beale,

Not a huge fan of Beale St., however..

[Soma.]

Heathen.

[Kral]

Its not the worst, just falls a bit after One Eye Dollar

DELTA SPIRIT:
Ode To Sunshine>History From Below>Delta Spirit

DEFTONES:
Around The Fur>White Pony>Deftones

[Gods' Die]

Stones: Let it Bleed - Sticky Fingers - Exile on Main St

Without a doubt, in my mind, best back-to-back-to-back of all-time.

[Kral]

Your avatar reminds me, Ive been trying to come up with a god Tom Waits run, but there's too many places to start.

[Soma.]

Stones: Let it Bleed - Sticky Fingers - Exile on Main St

Without a doubt, in my mind, best back-to-back-to-back of all-time.

I'm horribly uneducated when it comes to the Stones but I enjoy these albums. Thanks for weighing in.

[Gods' Die]

Bobby D: bringing it all back home, highway 61, blonde on blonde

Bruce: wild, born to run, darkness

Beatles: revolver, sgt pepper, white album

Bowie: hunky dory, ziggy, Aladdin sane

Jimi Hendrix experience: fucking obviously

Cliched? Yes, but I went through my whole ipod and passed over a ton of runs/records that I fucking love (I didn't mention Tom Waits), but I truly think these overplayed records are the best runs ever.

YLT: Electr-O-Pura > I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One > And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out

[Gods' Die]

Stones: Let it Bleed - Sticky Fingers - Exile on Main St

Without a doubt, in my mind, best back-to-back-to-back of all-time.

I'm horribly uneducated when it comes to the Stones but I enjoy these albums. Thanks for weighing in.

They're one of my favorite bands ever solely for this run. And I put on other stuff of theirs about once every 2 years. That's how much I love this run of records.

Bowie: hunky dory, ziggy, Aladdin sane

That's a great one. I rate Diamond Dogs highly but there isn't a run it would do well in.
