S-K: Call the Doctor > Dig Me Out > The Hot Rock

, although I would have gone with AHOTBO, One Beat and The Woods.

Yeah. This was the first thing that came to mind.

Pavement: Slanted & Enchanted > Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain > Wowee Zowee

Spoon: A Series of Sneaks > Girls Can Tell > Kill the Moonlight
Neil Young: Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere > After the Gold Rush > Harvest; On the Beach > Tonight's the Night > Zuma

Pearl Jam: S/T --> Backspacer --> Lightning Bolt

I think this is the best run by any rock band ever personally.

That's pretty bold, stip.

Besides the Beatles...

Elvis Costello
This Year's Model > Armed Forces > Get Happy!!

[Kral]

Pearl Jam: S/T --> Backspacer --> Lightning Bolt

That's pretty bold, stip.

Glad someone finally had the balls to list this one.

Besides the Beatles...

Elvis Costello
This Year's Model > Armed Forces > Get Happy!!

If only "King of America" and "Blood and Chocolate" were surrounded on either side by a record worthy of their greatness.

I assumed we all understood that it was any 3 album run after this one.

Secret, Profane & Sugarcane

Haven't given this a good listen in a while, think I'll do that today.

[Jorge]

It's really good. "She Handed Me a Mirror" has become my favorite from that album. Such a sad song.
