ReefaJones 03.25.23	true
YoYoMancuso 03.25.23	why hashtags
SlothcoreSam 03.25.23	Bad Religion - Suffer, No Control, Against The Grain. If you add Generator then you have the greatest Four album run in Punk history.
mkmusic1995 03.25.23	I'd like to submit Rush for consideration: "Hemispheres" "Permanent Waves" "Moving Pictures"
AlexKzillion 03.25.23	^^^
ReefaJones 03.25.23	Rush is a good pick. Personally not a huge fan of Hemispheres outside of La Villa Strangiato
ReefaJones 03.25.23	"why hashtags" why not?
JohnnyoftheWell 03.25.23	first three Pavement first three Vladislav Delay (counting Multila) any three Bad Seeds records in the run from Tender Prey to Murder Ballads Neurosis TSIB through Sun other music also fuck the rolling stone
mkmusic1995 03.25.23	^^^ Agree with the Bad Seeds run
DType 03.25.23	Gojira: The Link, From Mars To Sirius, The Way of All Flesh Meshuggah: Nothing, Catch 33, obZen Cult of Luna: The Beyond, Salvation, Somewhere Along The Highway
ReefaJones 03.25.23	Bad Seeds are a hit or miss band for me
Wildcardbitchesss 03.25.23	Gonna say the obvious one but Metallica - Lightning, Puppets, Justice. Swap out Justice for Kill Em All if ya feel like it and some personal favorites I can think of real quick Queensryche - Rage for Order, Mindcrime, Empire Gorguts - Obscura, From Wisdom to Hate, Colored Sands Pig Destroyer - Prowler in the Yard, Terrifyer, Phantom Limb Deftones - Saturday Night Wrist, Diamond Eyes, Koi No Yokan Chelsea Wolfe - Pain is Beauty, Abyss, Hiss Spun Dillinger - Calculating Infinity, Miss Machine, Ire Works, their whole discog tho honestly Amenra - Mass III through Mass VI Converge - When Forever Comes Crashing, Jane Doe, You Fail Me or Axe to Fall, All We Love We Leave Behind, The Dusk in Us. Take your pick lol
ArsMoriendi 03.25.23	Good list, especially CAN and Talking Heads I'd add -Stevie Wonder: Innervisiosn, Fulfullingness First Finale, Songs in the Key of Life -Parliament: Mothership Connection, The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein, Funkentelechy Vs. The Placebo Syndrome -Portishead: Dummy, s/t, Third
Sinternet 03.25.23	gotta be modest mouse this is a long drive - lonesome crowded west - moon & antarctica
Zac124 03.25.23	In Flames: The Jester Race, Whoracle and Colony Faith No More: The Real Thing, Angel Dust and King For a Day The Dillinger Escape Plan: Option Paralysis, OOUITK and Dissociation (honestly though, you can argue any three album run from this band is one of the best of all time.)
ReefaJones 03.25.23	forgot Talk Talk with The Colour of Spring, Spirit Of Eden and Laughing Stock. Could have made the list also
Donchivo 03.25.23	Great Theme for a list! I second Talk Talk, also: Morbid Angel: Domination - Formulas -Gateways Satyricon: Nemesis Divina - Rebel Extravaganza - Volcano Ulcerate: Everything is Fire - Destroyers of all - Vermis Monster Magnet: Superjudge - Dopes To Infinity - Powertrip Jimi Hendrix Experience Spiritual Beggars: Another Way To shine - Mantra III - Ad Astra US Christmas: Eat the Low Dogs - Run Thick in the night - The Valley Path The Mars Volta: De-Loused - Frances - Amputechture
Wildcardbitchesss 03.25.23	Birds in Row has had a pretty awesome run even tho it took them a decade to put out three records lol Last three Rolo Tomassi records were killer too
BookoftheFallen 03.25.23	I would say Iron Maiden: powerslave, somewhere in time, seventh son of a seventh son
Wildcardbitchesss 03.25.23	Yeah shit I came in all smug with my metallica comment and completely forgot about Maiden. Mercyful Fate’s first three records too while were at it.
Bazman 03.25.23	First 3 Oceansize albums, first 3 Reuben albums
Hyperion1001 03.25.23	8 is wrong it’s spiritual human and ITP
ReefaJones 03.25.23	Spiritual Healing is their worst album lmao
BAT 03.25.23	Discordance axis, Mr bungle, and at the drive-in. Oh yeah and slipknot
climactic 03.25.23	definitely agreed on can and floyd 0PN: replica-r plus seven-garden of delete
YoYoMancuso 03.25.23	The National: Alligator --> Boxer --> High Violet Rush: A Farewell To Kings --> Hemispheres --> Permanent Waves (this could basically be a 5 album run, GOAT band) Sonic Youth: EVOL --> Sister --> Daydream Nation Kendrick Lamar: Section .80 --> good kid, m.a.a.d city --> To Pimp A Butterfly Elliott Smith: Roman Candle --> s/t --> Either/Or Every Time I Die: From Parts Unknown --> Low Teens --> Radical
YoYoMancuso 03.25.23	also imo Starless and Bible Black gets right in the way of a Larks'/Red/Discipline run that would easily be one of the best ever
ArsMoriendi 03.25.23	I’d trade EVOL for Goo tbh
JKing92 03.25.23	Interesting list. 3 and 6 are definitely my favorite runs here (especially 6 -- what an amazing run). Some favorites of mine: The Beatles (Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour) Metallica (Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice for All) Green Day (Dookie, Insomniac, Nimrod) Outkast (Aquemini, Stankonia, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below) Eminem (Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem Show)
ReefaJones 03.25.23	"also imo Starless and Bible Black gets right in the way of a Larks'/Red/Discipline run that would easily be one of the best ever" True but SaBB is also super underrated. It's an amazing album. The Night Watch is one of their best songs period and Fracture/Trio/Great Deceiver/Lament are top notch too
Ryus 03.25.23	REM first three MBV's isn't anything - loveless - mbv arthur russell's world of echo - another thought - calling out of context the locust's three albums
DoofDoof 03.25.23	Tindersticks - I, II, Curtains The The - Soul Mining, Infected, Mind Bomb Elliott Smith - ST, Either/Or, XO The National - Boxer, HV, Trouble Richard Thompson - Rumor and Sigh, Mirror Blue, You? Me? Us? Bonnie Prince Billy - Darkness, Ease Down, Master & Everyone Pumpkins - Siamese, Mellon, Adore Radiohead - Bends, Computer, Kid A Smog - Red Apple, Knock Knock, Dongs Sparklehorse first three Modest Mouse first three
RogueNine 03.25.23	Russian Circles, Geneva to Memorial Elder, DRS to Reflections
Egarran 03.25.23	Tubular Bells Hergest Ridge Ommadawn
Hyperion1001 03.26.23	"Spiritual Healing is their worst album lmao" objectively wrong opinion
BigPleb 03.26.23	Led Zeppelin and Sabbath should be in the conversation too tbh.
Avagantamos 03.26.23	confield, draft 7.30, untilted
deathschool 03.26.23	Agree with 10 hard
ReefaJones 03.26.23	"Pumpkins - Siamese, Mellon, Adore Radiohead - Bends, Computer, Kid A" Bends and Adore ruin those runs
DoofDoof 03.26.23	Nope, The Bends is a classic and if Adore isn’t quite a classic it just balances out the discog and does that style so well, grower
Cimnele 03.26.23	city slab horror - come visit the big bigot - bad mood guy hopes and fears - winter songs - the world as it is today and... FUCKING... 1001 Centigrades, MDK, Kohntarkoz !!!!!!!!!!
theBoneyKing 03.26.23	Agreed with plenty of already mentioned ones, also needs: Wilco: Being There, Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Bob Dylan: Bringing It All Back Home, Blonde On Blonde, Highway 61 Revisited Drive-By Truckers: Southern Rock Opera, Decoration Day, The Dirty South
ReefaJones 03.26.23	"Nope, The Bends is a classic and if Adore isn’t quite a classic it just balances out the discog and does that style so well, grower" Bends is still a good album don't get me wrong it just it just isn't on the level of the other two. Replace it with In Rainbows and it would have been an all time great run
Demon of the Fall 03.26.23	Death is the wrong three, should’ve started at Human
ReefaJones 03.26.23	I like Sound of Perseverance a lot more than Human. Both would be great runs though
DoofDoof 03.26.23	The Bends and Rainbows are about the same for me
zakalwe 03.26.23	The Bends is a classic
Borracho 03.26.23	Jesus lizard - Goat, Liar, Down Max Roach - We Insist!, Percussion Bitter Sweet, Money Jungle
Borracho 03.26.23	Oh, and Alice Coltrane Ptah the El Daoud, Journey to Satchidanada, Universal Consciousness all three written and recorded within a year
Demon of the Fall 03.26.23	Oxbow’s Serenade through Narcotic Story is reaching classic trio levels for sure
Borracho 03.26.23	^Yes!
Demon of the Fall 03.26.23	Neurosis have loads of candidates, think I’d go for Times of Grace / A Sun That Never Sets / The Eye of Every Storm
Demon of the Fall 03.26.23	Stereolab - Dots / Cobra / Dust
JDubb 03.26.23	Can we move into the 2000’s please - the last 23 years. Thanks.
Demon of the Fall 03.26.23	#2 is up there, good call Cult of Luna - The Beyond / Salvation / Somewhere Along The Highway
ReefaJones 03.26.23	name some album runs from the 2000s then that can compete. Or shut up
Demon of the Fall 03.26.23	Portishead’s discog is GOATed so that counts, considering they didn’t ever release anything else 😄
ReefaJones 03.26.23	Portishead is a good one but not exactly an example of the 2000s when only Third (best portishead album btw) is from the 2000s
Demon of the Fall 03.26.23	I was ignoring 2000s, you didn’t mention that in your original post. 🤔 okay then
Demon of the Fall 03.26.23	Moonsorrow! For 2000s (their ‘obvious’ three)
ReefaJones 03.26.23	JDubb mentioned the 2000s that's why
SlothcoreSam 03.26.23	For something more recent let's go PROPAGANDHI - Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes, Potemkin City Limits, Supporting Caste. You could also add Failed States, to make a 4 album run.
Drifter 03.26.23	pac - me against the world, all eyez on me, 7 day theory
chemicalmarriage 03.27.23	Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse, Still Life, Blackwater Park Mastodon - Leviathan, Blood Mountain, Crack the Skye Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality Tool - Aenima, Lateralus, 10000 Days
Trifolium 03.27.23	Came here to say what Ars said: "-Portishead: Dummy, s/t, Third" Also many many good picks here! Especially many good Demon picks ✨💚
ReefaJones 03.27.23	Genesis: Foxtrot, Selling England, Lamb should have probably made the list now that I am thinking about it
DType 03.28.23	The Gathering: Nighttime Birds - How To Measure A Planet? - if_then_else Wolves In The Throne Room: Diadem of 12 Stars - Two Hunters - Black Cascade
bighubbabuddha 07.04.23	Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality Rush - Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love, Electric Ladyland These 3 are monsters that are missing badly
Zig 07.04.23	Zappa did it twice Freak Out! - Absolutely Free - We're Only in It for the Money Over-Nite Sensation - Apostrophe - One Size Fits All
Emim 07.04.23	Underoath - TOCS through LITSOS or DTGL through Disambiguation if that's more your speed
Thibs 07.04.23	ISIS (last 4) ZAO (WBFBR TO s/t) Children of Bodom (Hatebreeder to HCD) Edge of Sanity (Spectral Sorrows to Crimson) Zeppelin (first 6) Opeth (My Arms to Blackwater) Radiohead (Bends to Kid A) Tribulation (Formulas to Down Below) Susanne Sundfor (Brothel to 10 Love Songs) Schammasch (Contradiction to Hearts) Agnes Obel (Aventine to Myopia) Mastodon (Leviathan to Crack) Horrendous (Ecdysis to Idol) Nevermore (Dreaming to Enemies)
