thermocaster Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 well, it's been 15 years since I listened to the Moody Blues, but I seem to recall that in 1967 they began this streak of 6 (not 5): Days of Future PassedIn Search of the Lost ChordTo Our Children's Children's ChildrenOn the Threshhold of a DreamA Question of BalanceEvery Good Boy Deserves Favour could have them out of order ... You were mighty close. Threshold came before Children's. But you left the best one out! Seventh Sojourn.

Oil Can Boyd Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 How about this: Live DeadWorkingman's DeadAmerican BeautySkull & RosesEurope 72 Sure, three of them are live albums but it's a pretty good output in three years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eli Cash Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I was really surprised Springsteen wasn't mentioned until page 4. I can't think of an artist more deserving of mention in this thread. I would argue that he had a string of 8 great albums. Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street ShuffleBorn To RunDarkness on the Edge of TownThe RiverNebraskaBorn in the USATunnel of Love The Roots:Do You Want More?!!!??!Illadelph HalflifeThings Fall ApartThe Roots Come AlivePhrenology It's too bad they had a dud with The Tipping Point because Game Theory is spectacular (and one of the best albums of 06). This kind of consistency is extremely rare in Hip Hop. And to the guy who mentioned Ghostface, "Bulletproof Wallets" is a huuuuuuuge stretch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Alan Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 i didn't read the whole thread, but Talking Head's first 6 albums is the greatest stretch in music imo. How about this:Live DeadWorkingman's DeadAmerican BeautySkull & RosesEurope 72Sure, three of them are live albums but it's a pretty good output in three years.Skull and Roses isn't even very good.

W(TF) Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Can you think of any other artist or band who has put out 5 studio albums back to back more (or as) thoroughly enjoyable than/as Wilco's Being There, Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born and Sky Blue Sky? Not really. But, there was a guy back in the 60's that had a nice string of records. Two actually.

Modified Bear Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 R.E.M.'s aforementioned and ridiculous five-classics-in-five-years period (Murmur, etc.) is, I'd say, unbeatable.

SmokeUpJohnny Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 DinosaurYou're Living All Over MeBugGreen MindWhere you beenNot to mention---those awesome EP's in between. Nice... But the band really only put out 3 records and then it became the J. Mascis show with Lou going off to Sebadoh and Murph relegated to the occasional track after Bug. You're Living All Over Me is one of my five top records ever. It's what distorted guitar rock is supposed to sound like to me.

Man oh man i wish the Human Touch/Lucky Town releases didn't get in the way, because then there would be about 13 in a row... not including the live albums etc.... P.S.

Atticus Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 whoever posted Green Mind--I just want to make sure I'm understanding this--you think that that album is as enjoyable as any of the 5 wilco albums listed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
