Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist

Can't argue with Joni, Gabriel, Steely Dan or the Beatles

Here's a stab at a few not mentioned yet

Genesis - Foxtrot, Live, Selling England, Lamb Lies Down,
Trick of the Tail, Wind and Weathering, Seconds Out
then it goes quickly downhill ala Phil Collins

Todd Rundgren Ballad of, 2nd album(?), Something/Anything, Wizard True Star, Todd, Hermit of Mink Hollow

Bowie - Alladin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station To Station

King Crimson - Larks Tongue, Starless, Red, Discipline, Beat

Tom Petty's late 70's early 80's although it sounds dated now

Elvis Costello - Aim is True, This Years Model, Armed Forces, Trust, Imperial Bedroom (oops almost blue)

pre stevie/lindsey Bob Green era Fleetwood Mac Future Games, Heroes are Hard to Find, Bare Trees,and Mystery to Me

Coltrane, Monk, Mingus

Kinsekd, my tongue was firmly in cheek and that's a fact! Waltersalas, I have multiple copies of every Steely Dan album because I've worn them out from so much listening. I also have 3 copies of Mitchell's "Blue" for the same reason.

Also, when starting the post I never meant to set a standard of 5 consecutive masterpiece albums. Just 2 or 3 in a row is truly amazing.

The word fan is derived from fanatic and be definition fanatics have a hard time agreeing on anything.

forgot one

talking heads 77
more songs about buildings and food
fear of music
name of this band is t h
remain in light
speaking in tongues

then quickly downhill

Some very good runs. . .

The Yes Album
Fragile
Close To The Edge
(this run might arguably continue through Going For The One, but I think the post CttE albums fall just short of masterpieces)

In Rock
Fireball
Machine Head
Made In Japan

The Blue Mask
Legendary Hearts
New Sensations

Face To Face
Something Else
Village Green Preservation Society
Arthur
Lola v. Powerman and the Moneygoround
(not counting the Percy soundtrack--which isn't bad at all)
Muswell Hillbillies

Curbach

I was going to list the Kinks and Yes as well
but thought there was a down album in the middle of some greats - like Tales of Topographic Oceans
