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.

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 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.

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

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

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

Looking at either Clutch> Elephant Riders>Jam Room or Blast>Robot>Beale,
Not a huge fan of Beale St., however..

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.

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.

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.

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