I checked and I've only been listening to this for...

4 years, 9 months

perhaps it just needs a little more time?

(seriously tho the revisiting after checking out a myriad of other jazz in the interim has been very kind to this)

There are quite some otherworldly album triplets like:



Domination through Gateways

Lunasphere through Organasm

Dopes to Infinity Through God Says No

Human Through The sound of Perseverance

Shrines of Paralysis through Cutting the Throat...

De-Loused through Amputechture



But those three you mention are definitely up there

is owl city a bit?

these classic jazz cats release too many damn albums that they (so far) mostly elude my ability to triplicate due to a dastardly lack of completionism

However, I do need to work on my JJ game to further level up that particular trio (a rare 'have checked'), as it does seem like there's some stonkingly strong potential there

officially the overall answer is...



Portishead



Cult of Luna (The Beyond thru SATH)

Nick Cave (Good Son thru Let Love In)

Can's classic trio

Stereolab (Dots thru Sound-Dust)

Joanna Newsom's last three

Oxbow (Serenade thru Narcotic)



are all top answers

fairest of fucks to all dat. can, ulcerate and death are all great shouts



for me personally black sabbath's self titled to master of reality is second tho it's close.



bringing it all back home to blonde on blonde is a close third. having highway 61 as a third favourite out of those three is a ridiculous luxury to have



then there's two beatles threepeats to choose from



then you have jimi hendrix, camel from mirage to poonmadness pops da fuck off.

you could argue iron maiden has two to choose from, rolling stones, led zeppelin but i have my reservations with sum of those ablums personally. oh and elliott smith

well, yeah first three Sabs and Jimi Hendrix... for Iron Maiden, it would be really tough to decide for which triplet among the early classics.

Bob Dylan would be Highway through John Wesley. That last one is so criminally underrated!!

feels like I summoned / asked for this and of course, you had to fill half the page tect!

Heroes ruins Bowie (yes, edgy!) Natty was considered (same trio). Radiohead historically yet not now and the In Rainbows omission hurts the ceiling. SY is fair, certainly a tier 2 option for me personally. Colour of Spring is great but can't hold a candle to the following pair. I haven't even heard Head, but Talking HEADS seems like a solid choice

Bjork is an annoyance as Post has waned marginally over time and I might actually prefer Debut and / or Bio, controversially (needs revising, again!) Still, I won't argue it

yeah triplets isn't easy... in so many cases there is the odd one out, like Colours of Spring (which is a great album). I was thinking about King Crismons first three but Poseidon isn't a top 5 Crimson album, even thou not bad at all.



Ah and hell yeah regarding TVU.



Another one from my Death Metal niche is Monstrosity: Millennium through Rise To Power.

Could flop POST for MEDULLA on the other end of that trilogy, considered that. I might actually prefer MEDULLA personally but POST does feel more...essential?

Seeing as dis is a war of personal preferences dis is my official ranking (and by extension the most objectively correct one becuz I speak on behalf of all smelly ungulates)

1. Miles Davis (In A Silent Way > Jack Johnson)

2. Black Sabbath (Black Sabbath > Master of Reality)

3. Opeth (My Arms, Your Hearse > Blackwater Park)

4. Bob Dylan (Bringing It All Back Home > Blonde on Blonde; i love how methed up he sounds on Bringing It All Back Home)

5. The Beatles (Sgt Peppers > The White Album; Magical Mystery Tour do be magical)

6. Jimi Hendrix (Are You Experienced > Electric Ladyland)

7. Tool (Aenima > 10,000 Days, even though 10,000 Days is *only* very gud and arguably eclipsed by even Undertow, the peaks of Aenima and Lateralus are impossible to ignore)

^I'd say the same about Radiohead just because OK Computer is so incredible and The Bends is fun, but always felt confounded by Kid A's muted bleepy bloops nd wotnot, again war of personal preferences etc.)

8. Elliott Smith (Elliott Smith > XO)

9. Animal Collective (Feels > Merriweather Post Pavillion; the least creatively bankrupt indie pop there is or ever will be)

10. Meshuggah (that's a war for Meshuggah threads lol)

Good call on AC, might go Sung → Feels → Strawberry myself, but acceptable either way.
