I've grown to love Futures perhaps even more than Bleed American (Clarity will always be tops for me). It's like a deceptively mature album. Nightdrive & 23 make for a hell of a closing pair.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes, Hard Promises, Long After Dark

I love Petty as much as anyone but his albums have a lot of filler. Except Wildflowers...maybe the first one too.

Muse: Showbiz / Origin of Symmetry / Absolution

He's a fantastic artist but this is true.

There's not a filler track on Hard Promises but in general, yes he does like his filler.

The Talking Heads, but I can't decide which run of 3.

If you don't like them

Incubus: S.C.I.E.N.C.E / Make Yourself / Morning View

You're so embarrassing.

For me personally it'd be 77 - More Songs About Buildings & Food - Fear of Music, but I'm probably in the vast minority by preferring 77 to Remain In Light. I bet most people would go More Songs About Buildings & Food - Fear of Music - Remain In Light.

I'm leaning towards your choice. But really they had a pretty awesome run of 5 albums imo.

You switch between wanting to get on board with my posts, and insulting them.

Its almost as though I call it as I see it.

Well, we all do, friend. Maybe "arguing like a whiny bitch" is just wanting to have a discussion.

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

This is probably the winner.

Crazy thing is Beggars Banquet is every bit as good as those three.

Its definitely right there with them. Just an amazing stretch of music they had. And, I'm not even a big Stones fan.

Bob Dylans first 7 in a row

From the release of the Jumpin' Jack Flash single in May of 1968 until they released Angie (ugh) in August of 1973, they were just about perfect. Jumpin' Jack Flash - Beggars Banquet - Let It Bleed - Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! - Sticky Fingers - Exile on Main Street. Holy shit.
