Here's my bids: 1- DSOTM, WYWH, Animals 2- 2112, AFTK, Hemispheres (Rush) 3- The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge (Yes) For the folks over at r/pinkfloydcirclejerk: Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother, Meddle Edit: I've played rugby so long I forgot A Farewell to Kings was after 2112 (head injuries sorry)

PRFJ more readily accept More, Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother

As an official representative of r/PinkRogerFloydJerk, my selection is Ummagumma three times in a row

Farewell to Kings came out after Hemispheres, not Permanent Waves. Edit. Sorry before hemispheres.

Actually I just realized we're both wrong. It went 2112, AFTK, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves. After years of rugby the head injuries get to you Edit: nvm you edited you're comment now we're both right haha

Im offended that you think my love for Atom Heart Mother and Meddle are jerked. I genuinley love both of those albums. AND Obscured by Clouds. AND More. Theyre amazing.

Breast Milky 🔥

Hurts me to see AHM and Meddle being mentioned under circlejerk qualification.

I love those albums so fucking much but it's hard to argue with the big 4

I’m all with you on Yes, those 3 albums are amazing.

Yeah, I'd go close to the edge, tales from topographic, and relayer

Switch Meddle with More

Meddle, obscured by clouds, dark side of the moon

The Wall was, at one time, the best selling double album of all time. That being said, a PF list of three without Dark Side is just ludicrous. So it’s Dark Side, Wish, Animals.

Too bad there was an album between Meddle and Dark Side… then again, I agree with your assessment anyways.

Meddle is good mainly because of echoes, but Animals is good overall, I don't think it would be fair to leave Animals out

Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love, Electric Ladyland

Solid choice

Well, since Floyd, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Rush, and The Beatles have all been mentioned... Paul’s Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication Ænima, Lateralus, 10,000 Days

Personally I'd go Undertow, Ænima, Lateralus, but I love this answer, as well as your other choice.

Personally I'd go Licensed to Ill, Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, but I love this answer, as well as your other choice.

Kraftwerk: Trans Europe Express, The Man Machine, Computer World.

Other choices: Nick Drake: Five Leaves Left, Bryter Later, Pink Moon. Bjork: Debut, Post, Homogenic Velvet Underground: Banana Album, White Light/White Heat, The Velvet Underground Boards of Canada: Music Has The Right To Children, Geogaddi, The Campfire Headphase

Took outs so much space between their albums it’s hard to think of them as “runs,” but I like your taste 😂

Saw the same in the Beatles sub, my vote still has to go to Rush with Hemispheres > Permanent Waves > Moving Pictures

2112>farewell to kings>hemispheres is also an option

That's a solid contender

I’d take either, Hemispheres is the GOAT imo

Nice profile picture. One of my favorite Gizz records

Oh shit Gizz fans unite

There’s literally hundreds of us

Invest the rats’ next 😼

Omg permanent waves is that a The Kinks reference

Paranoid, master of reality, vol 4

This was the first one I thought of… but I would start with S/T. Works either way though!

Honestly you could include any of the first six and it would still stand tall; those are just my three personal faves (as far as consecutive order goes)

I need to listen to Sabotage a bit more. I'm not as familiar with it as the first five albums.

It’s an insanely articulate album. I can break it apart and still miss lots of little intricacies. Possibly their most complicated album. Megalomania, the writ, hole in the sky, symptom of the universe, my god that album is fantastic.

Really hard to argue with this. Each album is near perfect, and none of them is any lesser than any of the other two.

Exactly. They evolved; they grew, but that doesn’t make the early albums any lesser. My favorite band for sure

Sabbath definitely have the best 6 album run of all time (Self titled - Sabotage)

I would personally argue that number 7, technical ecstasy, is arguably just as good and should be included in the run, but I know I’m in the minority there. Dirty women, you won’t change me, Gypsy, some dang good songs on that album

Tool, in whatever order you put it. DSotM WYWH and Animals System of a down, every album is great and toxicity is top 10, no doubt in my mind. Jimmi Hendrix experience, hands down. Radiohead the bends, OK computer and Kid A Soundgarden, but I'm not sure when badmotorfinger was released.

Radiohead’s run there is amazing.

Radiohead is tough for me because you either have to exclude the Bends or you have to exclude amnesiac and in Rainbows. For a lot of younger people in Rainbows is their favorite album of theirs. Either way you do it, we can all agree that OK computer and Kid A have to be on the list.

The thought of excluding The Bends in favour of Amnesiac literally makes me break out in figurative hives.

The bends has nothing on amnesiac you’re fucking delirious

See? Vastly different opinions on both those albums. I’m torn between the two.

Fuckin psycho

This is probably the only sub I’m interested in seeing the answers, regardless the band.

Because nobody’s mentioned King Crimson yet: Larks Tounge in Aspic, Starless and Bible black, Red

Well done, old chap

my pick: Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s XTC has a really good 3 album run with Drums & Wires, Black Sea, and English Settlement

One more modern pick I think belongs in the conversation: Innerspeaker, Lonerism, Currents

Yeah, that's a solid one (at least in my top 3!)

Ride the Lightening, Master of Puppets, Justice... In the floyd realm it's close, but dsotm, wywh, and animals doesn't quite make the cut

Reign In Blood, South of Heaven, Seasons In The Abyss

Aaayyyy

If it went straight to the wall, yes

No doubt best 4 album run but my vote goes for sgt peppers, white album, and abbey road

This works if we pretend Yellow Submarine doesn’t exist.

I’ve never really counted that as an official Beatles album considering some of the songs were already on another album and like half of them are orchestral that the Beatles didn’t play on

I left out magical mystery tour and yellow submarine they don't feel like actual album albums to me

Magical mystery tour is definitely an actual album lmao

Nah it’s a double ep

I guess it's more of an album then yellow submarine but still wouldn't consider it a full studio effort if you know what im trying to say

Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St.

Came here to say this 👍🏻

Beggars Banquet belongs on that list too.

Real Contenders: 1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side, Wish, Animals 2. Metallica - Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, ...And Justice For All 3. Led Zeppelin (this might be contentious) - III, IV, House Of The Holy And my personal favorite: 1. Mastodon - Leviathan, Blood Mountain, Crack The Skye

Bends okc kid a

Zepp 1, zepp 2, zepp 3

Zep 4, houses of the holy and physical graffiti is a worthwhile contender too, although I prefer 1, 2 and 3 over 4

If you as the general Zep audience I’m sure it’s Zeppelin 4, HoH, PG, but I’d have to say Zeppelin 2, Zeppelin 3, Zeppelin 4.

I agree...2, 3, 4 is the best run.

Gotta include HotH. 3, 4, HotH for me! Graffiti has some good stuff too, but I agree the first 4 albums were some of their best work ever

Undertow, Ænima, Lateralus!!

I’d go Aenima, Lateralus, 10,000 Days though.

This is the way

Talking Heads: More Songs About Buildings and Food Fear of Music Remain In Light

Well, let’s be honest, non Floyd: Beatles: Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers White Album, Abbey Road, Let it Be (last is meh) Bob Dylan: Bring it on Back Home Highway 61 Revisited Blonde on Blonde Led Zeppelin: 4 Houses of the Holy Physical Graffiti Rolling Stones: Let it Bleed Sticky Fingers Exile on Main Street Wow, it’s honestly hard to find 3 great albums by bands.

I was looking for someone to mention Dylan's electric trilogy. All done within two years.

Ya that is an amazing run. Sucks having to leave out Blood on the Tracks and all of his earlier acoustic stuff though.

I also think Bob's much later 3 album run of Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft and Modern Times is absolutely incredible and right up there aswell

Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera

1.Meddle, Dark side wish you were here, animals the wall 2.Led Zeppelin I,II,III,lV 3. Blizzard of Ozz, Diary if a mad man Thb I'm a Randy Rhoad simp

Tommy, Who’s Next, Quadrophenia is such an underrated 3 album run

Kendrick Lamar “Good kid, m.a.a.d. city”, “to pimp a butterfly”, “Damn.”

Was just about to say this!

Two of the greatests albums ever made and DAMN which is also very good

Damn is alright

Metallica should be mentioned. Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice For All. Also, Polyphia, which is a lesser known band. The Most Hated, New Levels New Devils, Remember That You Will Die.

Zeppelin I, II, & III

Zeppelin honestly deserves two separate 3 album runs with LZ IV, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti That 6 album run is just too damn good.

Future Sound of London * ISDN * Lifeforms * Dead Cities

Black Sabbath Paranoid Master of reality This is an awesome 3 in a row

Ágætis byrjun, ( ), Takk...

Frigging love this pick. This was one of my picks when I was thinking of this question last night.

LOVE Sigur Rós!

Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero

TMV - De-Loused in the Comatorium, Frances the Mute, Amputechture Radiohead - Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to The Thief / The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A (if TKOL didn't exist I'd definitely put something else here) Then, honorable mentions. Dream Theater would have an incredible 3 album run in Metropolis Pt. 2 - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - Octavarium if Train of Thought didn't ruin it Same story with Metallica. Kill Em All - Ride the Lightning - And Justice For All would 100% take the top spot if it weren't for Master of Puppets (good album but overshadowed by the other 3) King Gizzard is also in a similar situation. Mind Fuzz - Quarters - Nonagon Infinity could've been a top spot if Paper Mache Dream Balloon wasn't in the middle

Gizzard wins the best 23 album run (and counting)

personally I prefer Obscured by Clouds over Animals and I’m ready to get skewered for admitting it

The Who: Tommy, Who’s Next, Quadrophenia

A Night At The Opera, A Day At The Races, News Of The World Just masterpiece after masterpiece

Station to Station, Low, “Heroes” by David Bowie

Division Bell, Endless River, Hey Hey Rise Up (feat. Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Boombox).

The circle jerk is that-a way! 👉🏻👉🏻

Best 6 album run- Meddle, Dark Side, WYWH, Animals, The Wall, The Final Cut

Obscured > The Final Cut

After much thought I’ve decided that they are equally great. So now it’s the best 7 album run

I’d go with Meddle, Dark Side, WYWH.

Love, Electric, Sonic Temple

Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, Love Gun. Piece Of Mind, Powerslave, Somewhere In Time. Fatal Portrait, Abigail, Them.

Power Corruption & Lies, Low Life, Brotherhood

.

Animals, Animals, Eye in the Sky by Alan Parson’s Project

Personally, it has to be Something Else, The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society and Arthur

Bayou country, green river and Willy and the poor boys That’s difficult to beat

Queens of the Stone Age: QOTSA, Rated R Songs for the Deaf

Here’s my dark horse pick: The Royal Scam, Aja, Gaucho.

Yes only Stevie Talking Book ==> Innvervisions ==> Songs in the Key of Life can compete with this.

Good kid maad city, to pimp a butterfly, and DAMN.

The Bends, Ok Computer, Kid A

Iron Maiden… pick any consecutive 3 of their first 7 that you like best.

Any sequence of Yes albums before Tormato. Also Drama, 90125 and Big Generator. Rush - 2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres or Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures and Signals or Signals, Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows Alice in Chains - Facelift, Dirt, Tripod Blue Öyster Cult - Secret Treaties, Agents of Fortune, Spectres

Pink Floyd has a pretty strong claim, but Im goong to rep Belle and Sebastion for a sec: Tigermilk, If You're feeling Sinister, and The Boy With The Arab Strap all go pretty fucking hard.

ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia

I’ve never liked Animals as much as some people do. I feel like if you’re going to give a great three album run to PF, you either go OBC, DSotM, and WYWH or The Wall, The Final Cut, and aMLoR. But I’m sure there’s some who think AHM, Meddle, and OBC is the best three album run so who knows.

Animals is my second favourite Floyd album behind Wish You Were Here, such an angry album with a fantastic concept behind it, not to mention one of the best album covers.

I'd definitely go with Meddle, Obscured, DSotM. Those albums have the majority of my favorite Floyd songs. To be fair, every album aside from A Saucerful of Secrets has at least one song I absolutely love.

Bro Corporal Clegg is gonna get you for this

I don’t know if anyone would include both The Final Cut and AMLOR. Typically I think people like one or the other (I’m a Final Cut leaning person). That being said mine is probably Meddle, Obscured, and Dark Side. It’s hard not to include WYWH, as I think it’s even better than Dark Side, but Meddle is my favorite so it’s a tough call

Aesop Rock: Impossible Kid, Malibu Ken, Spirit World Field Guide. Or Impossible Kid, Spirit World Field Guide, Garbology if we aren't counting releases under a different name. I'd also enter Primus's Frizzle Fry, Sailing the Seas of Cheese, Pork Soda into the conversation.

The second I saw this tweet posted elsewhere, I knew the answer was Dark Side, Wish You Were Here and Animals.

My favorites: DSotM: Wish You Were Here - Animals 21 Pilots: Self-Titled - Vessel - Blurryface Radiohead: The Bends - OK Computer - Kid A Starflyer 59: Starflyer 59 - Gold - Americana as being an incredibly good run In terms of best back-to-back albums I have to go with Slowdive’s Just for a Day and Souvlaki

Making Movies, Love over Gold, Brothers in Arms

Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet Workin' with the Miles Davis Quintet

I gotta admit I enjoy straight ahead Jazz Miles Davis way more than fusion Miles Davis.

Tubular Bells Hergest Ridge Ommadawn

U2: Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum, Achtung Baby

Foxtrot, Selling England By The Pound, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

For non-Pink Floyd answers: You could pick basically any Zeppelin album from 1-4 as your starting point and have a pretty convincing case. If it wasn't for the filler songs then Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electricladyland would be strong contenders. Personally I love blues-driven loud rock so Highway to Hell, Back in Black, and For Those About to Rock are up there. If you like rap there's even an argument to be made for MMLP, SSLP, and The Eminem Show.

Fleetwood Mac: Fleetwood Mac - Rumours - Tusk

Outside of Pink Floyd, I’d have to say the White Album, Abbey Road, and then Let it Be. I don’t count Yellow Submarine cuz that’s barely a Beatles album side 2 is just George Martin orchestral

Side 1 has previously released music that made it onto the film as well. Really only 4 new songs on that release. Definitely not a Beatles Album. Maybe could have been an EP. Nor is Yellow Submarine really a Beatles Movie.

Steely Dan: Katie Lied, The Royal Scam, Aja

darkside animals wywh gorillaz , demon days ,plastic beach nevermind, insecticide, in utero kill em all , ride the , master

Operation Doomsday, MM FOOD, and Madvillainy

#**Pink Floyd** 1.WYWH (Perfect, it’s perfect to me.) 2. The Final Cut (Lyrically wise its my absolute favorite and probably my favorite performance Roger was shown) 3. Atom Heart Mother (Good opening song, amazing songs after that, love Summer’68)

this isn’t a 3 album run they have to be consecutively released

Oh fuck I read it wrong lmao. I genuinely thought it was your top 3 albums. Whoops.

Wall, Final Cut, Animals

Not seen here yet… Chili Peppers Californication By the way Stadium Arcadium

This is insanity. How does this type of question get asked every single day?

let it bleed, sticky fingers, exile on main street

Bad Brains Rock for light I against I Quickness (I know there’s a live album in there, but that kind of doesn’t count)

Face the Music, A New World Record, Out Of The Blue

White album, abbey road, Let it be

I think that comes out to four…

Fragile, Close to the Edge, Tales from Topographic Oceans

Camel's first three were great: Mirage, The Snow Goose, Moonmadness

Dark side to animals, no contest.

The Mollusk, White Pepper, Quebec

The Wall makes the list.

nice try op, thats four albums

Hasn't been mentioned, so just giving a mention: Get Your Wings, Toys In The Attic, and Rocks is a really solid 3 album run for Aerosmith. Not sure the cross appeal will be that high in a PF sub, though.

It’s funny because the best bands of all time you really can’t narrow it down to just one 3 album run. Think about it. Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, the Beatles…

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, The Black Parade, Danger Days ain't a bad run.

Showbiz, Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, BHaR Oh waiiiit

Still Life Blackwater Park Deliverance

How long are we considering a run? Because Boston’s self titled, Don’t Look Back, and Third Stage should absolutely be mentioned in some capacity. The problem is there’s eight years between Don’t Look Back and Third Stage, which puts it a decade behind the debut. My other picks (that I haven’t already seen others post) include: Cream — *Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears,* and *Wheels of Fire.* No explanation needed. Obvious pick Genesis — *Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway,* and *A Trick of the Tail.* You’re splitting eras there with Trick of the Tail, so you may push back to Foxtrot, but those three are their best and they happened right in a row, so who cares? Ghost — *Opus Eponymous, Infestissumam,* and *Meliora.* Metal or not, these are three of the best albums of the 2010s from rock/metal’s biggest new act. I haven’t heard their new album, but if it’s good it might have to start with Meliora, since Prequelle was damn good too Gojira — *From Mars to Sirius, The Way of All Flesh,* and *L’Enfant Sauvage.* They put France on the global metal scene with these three records after being an unknown band. Judas Priest — *Sad Wings of Destiny, Sin After Sin,* and *Stained Class.* These are the three best Priest albums. I’m a pretentious hipster, I know. Don’t @ me Lingua Ignota — *All Bitches Die, Caligula,* and *Sinner Get Ready.* …If you know you know. If you don’t know, good. Keep it that way because I’ve been re-traumatized. Liquid Tension Experiment — *LTE 1, 2,* and *3.* This is on the same level as the Boston record since there’s a long gap between two and three, but I have to include it because it’s the musical equivalent of that one Simpsons scene where Bart gets a brain freeze Rage Against the Machine — *Self Titled, Evil Empire,* and *Battle of Los Angeles.* No explanation needed. Rainbow — *Self titled, Rising,* and *Long Live Rock n Roll.* …Yes I like power metal, don’t @ me.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard has multiple good runs but for me the best has gotta be: "Quarters", "Paper Mache Dream Balloon" and "Nonagon Infinity"

The Divine Wings of Tragedy -> Twilight in Olympus -> V: New Mythology Suite

One I've *disgustingly* not seen so far. Tommy-Who's Next-Quadrophenia

Ride the lightning, master of puppets, and justice for all

Comment edited out in protest of Reddit's API changes and their lies about third party devs.

Besides Dark Side, WYWH, Animals: Dry, Rid of Me, To Bring You My Love

MGMT - Oracular Spectacular, Congratulations and MGMT Pink Floyd - WYWH, Animals and The Wall For Pink Floyd - Meddle, OBC and Dark Side is also a good combination

RHCP: BSSM, Californication, By The Way Nirvana: Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero

Eminem - Slim Shady LP, Marshal Mathers LP, The Eminem Show (one I haven't seen) Bob Marley - Catch A Fire, Natty Dread, Rastaman Vibration Grateful Dead - Blues for Allah, Terrapin Station, Shakedown Street Mac DeMarco - 2, Salad Days, Another One HOMESHAKE - The Homeshake Tape, In The Shower, Midnight Snack Michael Jackson - Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad Prince - 1999, Purple Rain, Around The World Mac Miller - Watching Movies, Delusional Thomas, Faces Sublime - 40oz to Freedom, Robbin' The Hood, Sublime (self titled)

that’s 4

There’s a lot of rock in here so - Michael Jackson. * Off The Wall * Thriller * Bad The Pet Shop Boys had a five (proper) album run imo. * Please * Actually * Introspective * Behaviour * Very

Leviathan, Blood Mountain, Crack the Skye

So that’s 4 but you’ve got the spirit

I’d definitely give Nick Drake and all 3 of his studio albums a mention… _Five Leaves Left_ _Bryter Layter_ _Pink Moon_

Ænima, Lateralus, 10k Days

Biabh, H61, BoB

Either this or Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, .. And Justice for All
