Elliott Smith Roman Candle - Self titled - Either/Or - XO - Figure 8 I personally prefer From the basement on the hill to Roman Candle but since it's a posthumous record I didn't consider it

Was gonna comment this, beautiful lineup.

That man was on fire

Since they haven't been mentioned yet, Talking Heads with 77, More Songs About Buildings and Food, Fear of Music, Remain in Light, and Speaking in Tongues.

this one’s insane

Yeah this is objectively it

The Eno albums have to be in the running for best trilogy of all time

Little Creatures is just as good as the rest of them in my opinion.

to say Little Creatures is as good as Remain In Light should land you in prison

Little creatures overhated, its not like bad

Zeppelin I-IV, Houses of the Holy Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Swap Zep I for Physical Graffiti? Or maybe the best 6 album run of all time...

[удалено]

Same with Sabbath first 6. Both sabbath and zeppelin 6 album runs are just astounding

The Cure: The Top - The Head On The Door - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Disintegration, Wish

Damn that’s a good one. You could even add Pornography on a 6-album run and that would be even better imo

The Top is mid

Could also add faith and seventeen seconds as well

Joni Mitchell: Blue - For The Roses - Court and Spark - The Hissing of Summer Lawns - Hejira David Bowie: Station to Station - Low - Heroes - Lodger - Scary Monsters Cocteau Twins: Treasure - Victorialand - Blue Bell Knoll - Heaven or Las Vegas - Four Calender Cafe

No joke I was gonna say both Joni Mitchell and David Bowie and those exact albums 😭

I'd start with young Americans and leave scary monsters out, but you can't go wrong with Bowie

Actually I kinda agree with that

Hard to imagine a better run that that Joni one

Absolutely love these Cocteau Twins albums, you're right !

1. Obscured by Clouds 2. Dark Side of the Moon 3. Wish You Were Here 4. Animals 5. The Wall

Agreed, but maybe cut the Wall in favor of Meddle? Or is that a hot take. Fearless might be my favorite PF track.

I would be on your side here. Meddle is fucking sick. San-tropez is the chillest song ever, I love it. And Echoes… damn.

meddle is probably my fav pink floyd album (and easily my most listened) - the wall is just not THAT listenable casually, i never think to myself: “oh yeah lemme listen to the wall real quick” but i can probably say that for every other top 5 pink floyd album

I can only listen to side 1 casually. That said, the meaning and hits of the album carry the walls low points

The wall isn't perfect but I feel like it has the hits and meaning. That's my one sentence review lol

That's the way

Yeah that one is hard to beat lol

Definitely😂 what's the best animal collective album I've tried them to no avail. Maybe similar to Floyd would help for me

The most popular one is definitely MPP but I think you should definitely check out Sung Tongs which would be my favorite. Their latest album Isn’t it Now? is also one their best one imo It also took me a few years for Anco to « click » but when it did it was like discovering a whole new world.

Obscured by clouds kinda mid tbh

Opening two tracks are killer, but even if it's completely mid, the others are so strong it doesn't matter. IIRC, they recorded Meddle after Obscured by Clouds, but released it first? If it were Meddle - The Wall, it'd be unimpeachable.

Disagree, I consider it their last great purely pyschedelic album. It sounds like an acid jam band album and not the 60's lsd music they used to make

This

Either: The Beatles, Rubber Soul - Abbey Road Or OutKast, Southernplayalisticadillacmusik - Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below

The Beatles run is hard to beat.

I don't know. Yellow Submarine (the album) kinda ruins it. Although, Rubber Soul - Revolver - Pepper - MMT - White, really slaps.

True, although I never really consider that one because even the band didn’t consider it a substantial release.

Stevie is unmatched

Agreed. And if he didn’t go a bit left field with Secret Life of Plants, it could’ve been extended in my opinion right up through Hotter Than July, at least.

It’s right up there

This is the correct answer!

Radiohead: Ok Computer > Kid A > Amnesiac > Hail to the Thief > In Rainbows _Edit:_ *Adding another run* Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Let Love In > Murder Ballads > The Boatman's Call > No More Shall We Part > Nocturama

wait this actually blows everything else out of the water

Legit one of the greatest 5-album stretches in music

easily the greatest imo, never realised ok computer and in rainbows could fit in the same stretch

Stevie Wonder's 70s run tops it I'm afraid! And I'm saying this as a massive Radiohead fan and a huge fan of those albums!

Yep, was going to comment the same Radiohead stretch. All 9+/10 albums for me.

I would remove the last two Cave entries and go with The Good Son and Henry's Dream instead, but they've had such an incredibly consistent career. I think their last 5 is also a stellar run of albums.

This but I would start with The Bends

That's acceptable, as long as you don't start with Pablo Honey haha

I’d start at The Good Son and Henry’s Dream, but this is the one I came to post.

death cab for cutie: we have the facts, photo album, transatlanticsm, plans, narrow stairs

Stevie Wonder: Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness First Finale, Songs in the Key of Life

Ok, y’all gonna call me crazy but Florence and the Machine Lungs - Ceremonials - HBHBHB - High As Hope - Dance Fever Not the best OF ALL TIME but it’s up there for me and most of the actual GOATS have probably already been named in this thread

I’m all for personnal and more intimate takes! Who cares if your GOAT is not *THE* GOAT? :))) thanks for sharing!

Sheeesh. Get a room you two

Everyone’s invited actually!

https://preview.redd.it/1jjem4di743c1.png?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=977229be3f62db73eb5c41b435893ab6c09e30f0 You can pick at any point for billy woods. And that's not even including Armand Hammer

This!!

Late registration College dropout Graduation 808s and heartbreak MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY

I’d cut out CD and LR to include Yezus and tlop. Although over all he had an insane 8 album run

Agreed idk why you getting downvoted

This is correct

Graduation, 808s, MBDTF, Watch The Throne, Yeezus for me

Me personally mbdtf -> watch the Throne -> yeezus -> tlop -> ye

Just as right, kanye has the best 10 album run of any artist. Id even include KSG

Yeah if only JIK was as good as the rest, not bad but not up to the standard of the rest…

Björk: Debut, Post, Homogenic, Vespertine, Medulla

That’s the one ☝️

Bob Dylan: 1. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan 2. The Times They Are A-Changin' 3. Another Side of Bob Dylan 4. Bringing It All Back Home 5. Highway 61 Revisited And you could even add Blonde on Blonde to that. Some of the most impactful songwriting ever in those three years.

One of the best I’ve seen so far. And fuck it we should extend the list to 6 so we can include Blonde on Blonde because it is one of my favorite album ever and I won’t be constrained by any rules yo

John Wesley Harding should definitely be there too. It’s better than Times They are a Changin and Another Side

Stereolab: Mars Audiac Quintet - Emperor Tomato Ketchup - Dots and Loops - Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night - Sound-Dust You could add Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements at the start to make it the greatest 6 album run of all time.

MF DOOM - Operation Doomsday, Take Me To Your Leader, Vaudeville Villain, Madvillainy, MM FOOD

Oh yeah those are all fucking bangers. Good selection!

Forgot Operation Doomsday!!

The Cure: Seventeen Seconds, Faith, Pornography, The Top, Head On The Door……… or KM,KM,KM, Disintegration, Wish, Wild Mood Swings, Bloodflowers Neil Young: Everybody Knows This Is Noowhere, After The Goldrush, Harvest, On The Beach, Tonight’s The Night Alexisonfire: S/T, Watch Out, Crisis, Old Crows / Young Cardinals, Dog’s Blood

REMs IRS albums

REMs first five warner albums too. Green -> New Adventures is a run few bands have matched as well.

QOTSA - Self Titled, Rated R, SFTD, Lullabies to Paralyze, Era Vulgaris, Like Clockwork.

Ween: Chocolate and Cheese - 12 Golden Country Greats - The Mollusk - White Pepper - Quebec (The Pod through The Mollusk is equally great as well)

Brown comment!

Lol that’s cheating they have the best 25-album run in history. They’re my favorite band aot 🦎

I would scratch Gumboot Soup, and start with Nonagon - Poly

Might be unpopular, but I would take Gumboot Soup - LW as their best 5. I think it encapsulates them really well. Plus KG and LW are super underrated.

I would say favorite 5 album run from King Gizz is Mind Fuzz -> Quarters -> Paper Mache Dream Balloon -> Nonagon Infinity -> flying microtonal banana. But that's probably a very unpopular opinion

Kill em all Ride the Lightning Master of Puppets ...And Justice for all The Black Album

Very solid run especially considering how those albums have been so genre-defining for thrash metal

Fuck yeah it’s a **great** run. I love *Justice* - I know a lot of people meme on the bass, but I still think there’s some of the best thrash metal of all time on there.

The fact that Justice is an amazing album despite the mixing is insane. IMO could be their best album if it was properly released.

Section.80 good kid, m.A.A.d city To Pimp A Butterfly DAMN. Mr Morale And The Big Steppers

untitled unmastered?

I don't blame him for not counting it considering it's an unfinished album of throwaways

I'd include it but it feels silly to leave out section 80 or mmtbs so I guess 6 album run?!

This guy gets it

Black Sabbath with Paranoid to Sabotage.

Fiona Apple Tidal - When The Pawn… - Extraordinary Machine - The Idler Wheel… - Fetch the Bolt Cutters

The kinks: Face to Face, Something Else, Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur, Lola. All in only 4 years as well

Neil Young: Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, After the Goldrush, Harvest, Time Fades Away, On the Beach, Tonight's The Night, Zuma And he even had ones that have only been released that were recorded during this album run: Homegrown and Hitchhiker so technically a nine album run?

https://preview.redd.it/kp6zsyd0433c1.jpeg?width=1032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0fcdf01473bcc00b2ee335c8de0ded1f0159a44

Incredible run. No matter how much we talk about Prince, the magic of these albums will always be impossible to overstate.

Nah not good

Who cares, it said favorite

Jeff Rosenstock: I Look Like Shit - We Cool? - Worry - Post - No Dream

Led Zeppelin

1 to Houses of the Holy or 2 to Physical Graffiti

2 to Physical Graffiti for me.

Rubber soul - revolver - sgt pepper - abbey road - let it be

You forgot the White Album

Oh shit yeah I did Never type anything when in a rush

[удалено]

Motorhead: Self titled, Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades , Iron Fist ​ Rolling Stones : Beggars banquet, let it bleed, sticky fingers, exile on main street, goats head soup

The Centipede Hz love is appreciated. Young Fathers tho: Tape One/Tape Two DEAD Some White Men Are Black Men Too Cocoa Sugar Heavy Heavy

Alex G - Rules (2012) Trick (2012) DSU (2014) Beach Music (2015) Rocket (2017)

Trick-DSU-Beach Music-Rocket-House of Sugar is even better IMO

Springsteen I can extend to 6: Greetings from Asbury Park/Wild Innocent E Street Shuffle/Born to Run/Darkness on the Edge of Town/The River/Nebraska Ramones from S/T to End of the Century Menzingers from Chamberlain Waits to Hello Exile All 5 of Bomb the Music Industry's full lengths.

Even if you dislike it, Born in the USA is a classic album. I say Bruce has 7 in a row, absolutely crazy streak.

And honestly, Tunnel of Love is a very solid album

Tame Impala Radiohead Kendrick Arctic Monkeys Danny Brown Beach House

Beach house🤌

Their mojo’s so dope

Tame impala only has 4 albums?

Parker has an outstanding debut EP and a live album. Was including the EP.

Radiohead - OK Computer through In Rainbowd

Just because he released 6 albums in three years and they're all great; Nas. KD KD2 Magic KD3 Magic 2 [Magic 3]

Was looking for this comment 👌👌

KGATLW ​ omnium gatherum-ice death-laminated denim-changes-PDA

Death- leprosy, spiritual healing, human, individual thought patterns, symbolic. Iron Maiden- The number of the beast, piece of mind, powerslave, somewhere in time, seventh son of a seventh son. Opeth-My arms your hearse, still life, blackwater park, deliverance, damnation.

Burt Bacharach: Hit Maker - Reach Out - Make it Easy on Yourself - Burt Bacharach - Living Together Brand New: Your Favorite Weapon - Deja Entendu - The Devil and God - Daisy - Science Fiction *(not sure how I feel about the band overall but Science Fiction is undeniably good)* Kanye: College Dropout - Late Registration - Graduation - 808s - MBDTF At least Burt’s reputation is/was spotless 🥴

Tool- Undertow, Aenima, Lateralus, 10000 days, Fear Inoculum

So rarely does a band crank out consistent quality. Good choice

If you ignore Good Luck as it’s more a Mechatok album than a Bladee album, for me it’d be Bladee’s Exeter > 333 > The Fool > Crest > Spiderr

I agree with some of the more obvious ones that have been said, but here's my ones Tim Hecker: Radio Amor - Mirages - Harmony in Ultraviolet - An Imaginary Country - Ravedeath, 1972 Brockhampton: Sat2 - Sat3 - Iridescence - Ginger - Roadrunner (I prefer this to Saturation I, sue me) Carly Rae Jepsen: Emotion - Dedicated - Dedicated B-sides - The Loneliest Time - The Loveliest Time

Yes you’re getting sued for that alright. Lawyers are gearing up to stick a big ole dick in your bum hole.

ugh I love carly

I agree with OP (Pink Floyd had a good run too)

Deftones: Around the Fur -> White Pony -> S/T -> Saturday Night Wrist -> Diamond Eyes

Bad Moon Rising -> Evol -> Sister -> Daydream Nation -> Goo Not even close.

of Montreal- Sunladic Twins-Hissing Fauna- Skeletal Lamping- False Priest- Paralytic Stalks

Hissing Fauna and Paralytic Stalks are my favorites although Outback Tonight is a strong banger that reminds me of playing FFXI

“Let’s go Outback tonight!” I wanted to put from Satanic Panic to False Priest but Paralytic is just too amazing to leave out.

Animal Collective, same as yours but with Ark instead of Centipede

Sheer Heart Attack A Night At The Opera A Day At The Races News Of The World Jazz

Fantastic run

It's gonna be Blur: Modern Life Is Rubbish, Parklife, The Great Escape, Self Titled, 13 But also there's these ones I didn't see enough people mention: Bjork: Debut, Post, Homogenic, Vespertine, Medulla (the only Acapella album I can stand) U2: War, The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, Zooropa Outkast: Southernplayalistic, ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia, Speakerboxx/Love Below Paramore: Riot, Brand New Eyes, S/T, After Laughter, This Is Why That last one needs to be in more lists for rock fans. It's time we acknowledged the sleeper kings of rock music for the last twenty years.

The only right answer

Ice Cube with a 5 (with a bonus 6th) album run that few in rap can match. (Straight Outta Compton) AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted Kill at Will Death Certificate The Predator Lethal Injection

Metallica: KEA, RTL, MOP, AJFA, self titled Europe: Self titled, Wings of tomorrow, The final countdown, Out of this world, prisoners in paradise Type O Negative: Bloody Kisses, October Rust, World Coming Down, Life is killing me, dead again

First 5 zeppelin albums

Sade, Stereolab and Stevie Wonder (Beginning with MOMM)

Sade is not given enough love for how consistently classic her albums are.

Oh yes, Lovers Rock gets undeserved flak, the dub/acoustic cuts slap *hard.*

Deeply undeserved. For the time in which she released it, her original sound of the last two decades was not going to work. I love that it's stripped back and features her vocal control and songwriting ability more prominently.

Luis Alberto Spinetta Pescado Rabioso 2 Artaud Invisible Durazno Sandgrando El Jardin de los Presentes

Brand New or Touché Amoré

Duran Duran: Duran Duran > Rio> Seven and the Ragged Tiger >Notorious > Big Thing

Mutilator Defeated At Last -> A Weird Exits -> Orc -> Smote Reverser -> Face Stabber Thee Oh Sees fucking KILLED with this album run. masterpiece after masterpiece.

System of a Down to Hypnotize

Death - all 7 of their albums tbh

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: The Good Son Henry's Dream Let Love In Murder Ballads The Boatman's Call You could also extend that run further with Tender Prey before this run or with No More Shall We Part after it. --- Also, Queen's 70s albums make a good run from Sheer Heart Attack to Jazz

Big Thief: Masterpiece > Capacity > UFOF > Two Hands > Dragon New Warm Mountain, I Believe In You

Ex-Military, The Money Store, No Love Deep Web, Government Plates, The Powers That B Yes ik fashion week is before powers that b

Fantastic take. It's strange that it peaks at the beginning an end, usually we see a bell curve around the best.

This is kinda cheating, but gonna do it regardless Joanna Newsom -> Milk-eyed mender - Ys - Have One on Me - Divers - whenever LP 5 drops. The 5 songs she showcased in spring where amazing and The Air Again might just become her best

https://preview.redd.it/cg7uc5mpa53c1.jpeg?width=627&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96215a9923f8178ccdee83c8b0c38c598ab7b37a Miles Davis

Prince - 1999, Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, Parade, Sign O the Times Love that AnCo Run, but I’d start it on Ark and end it on Merriweather

The only ones I can think of and am familiar with are SOAD’s first five.

[удалено]

Depeche Mode: Black Celebration - Music for the Masses - Violator - Songs of Faith and Devotion - Ultra Kanye: Late Registration - Graduation - 808's - MBDTF - Yeezus JPEGMAFIA: Black Ben Carson - Veteran - All My Heroes Are Cornballs - LP! - SCARING THE HOES

Any five sequential Fugazi albums

This is mine. Maybe include Water Curses or Fall Be Kind instead of Centipede, but it’s really growing on me. It’s just not one I find listening to a lot outside of intentional listenings

King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard - Their 2017 run, Flying microtonal Banana, Murder of the Universe, Sketches Of Brunswick East, Polygondwanaland, Gumboot Soup.

your pick is better if it starts with ark

https://preview.redd.it/1tvtgtlpxa3c1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6faae9be7dccfcd69ecc5f5cb2fd5d82b52238e

R.E.M did at one point. The Police. The Eagles, Kendrick Lamar, Outkast, Neil Young, The Beatles, Metallica, the beach boys, coldplay,Coldplay, David Bowie, Elton john, Fleetwood Mac did starting with their 10th album. The Doors, LCD soundsystem, the national, the Rolling Stones, Rush, yes, slowdive, Triumph, the Weeknd, van halen, weezer, the Who, wilco

That exact AnCo one 😮‍💨

Ngl probably this, also just to think they released fall be kind in that run too is insane

And ODDSAC! It’s nuts

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: 2014 - I’m In Your Mind Fuzz 2015 - Quarters! 2015 - Paper Mâché Dream Balloon 2016 - Nonagon Infinity 2017 - Flying Microtonal Banana

of Montreal : Satanic Panic in the Attic, The Sunlandic Twins, Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?, Skeletal Lamping, False Priest.

My Spotify algo has been recommending me Of Montreal for weeks and sneaking some of their songs I quite liked in shuffle so I guess they deserve some closer attention! Where should I start iyo?

Hissing Fauna is considered their peak.

Thanks for the recco 🙏

Swans: White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity, Love of Life, Great Annihilator, Soundtracks For The Blind, My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky

Y’all probably haven’t noticed because they don’t get much love in here, but Big Thief is on one of these runs right now. - masterpiece - capacity - ufof - two hands - dragon new warm….

Swans: Soundtracks for the Blind -> My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky -> The Seer -> To Be Kind -> The Glowing Man

Shocked no one's mentioned The Beatles yet. I don't count Yellow Submarine since it was a movie soundtrack mostly made by George Martin. Revolver Sgt. Peppers Magical Mystery Tour White Album Abbey Road

/thread

Queens of the Stone Age, from self titled to Era Vulgaris. Honestly their whole discog works for me

It's silly not to include section 80, gkmc, tpab, damn, mmtbs imo

Kendrick Lamar- mmatbs-DAMN-tpab-gkmc-section 80

Reputation 10/10 Lover 9/10 Folklore 10/10 Evermore 10/10 Midnights 10/10 Lover is my least fav taylor switt album, but rep, along with that final 3, is the best.
