5 album challenge

[Doug Glatt]

Not a fan of Zeppelin 2. A bit of a stretch to call it great.

I strongly disagree. Several great tracks. Platinum 4x so there were a few million people who liked it.

[Thunder]

Not rock and roll in the strict sense, but definitely 5 great albums in a row

Hello nasty

In fact, I'd argue To the 5 boroughs makes it 6 in a row, but I'm a big fan.

Ouch. Hands down my favourite Zeppelin album. While Lotta Love, Thank You, Heartbreaker, Ramble On, Bring it on Home. The album crushes beginning to end.

Sorry I meant zep 3

A lot of people dont like that one. I think 6 of the 8 tracks are classics and it is certainly a "great" album, just more acoustic.

[GSD]

5 in a row is very hard unless it is one of the all time great bands. And sales alone is not the end all be all. But sticking my neck out here:
Aerosmith 1973
Get your Wings 1974
Toys in the Attic 1975
Rocks 1976
Draw the Line 1977 ( weakest of the bunch but not as bad as some make it out to be)

[GSD]

Not sure you guys would have thought of this one but...The Doors.

The Doors 1967
Strange Days 1967
Waiting for the Sun 1968
Soft Parade 1969
Morrison Hotel 1970
LA Woman 1971

All 6 Platinum

Love the doors, but soft parade my least favorite here.

[GSD]

It makes me sad that I wouldn’t consider Pink Floyd to meet your criteria.

Meddle
The Dark Side of the Moon (Perhaps the Greatest Album of all time, for me)
Wish You Were Here
Animals
The Wall

Sadly, between Meddle and The Dark Side of the Moon, is the horribly mediocre Obscured by the Clouds.

I think all 5 of those are great albums! Wish you were here is my fav.

Yes Im stretching it quite a bit there, not a fan either.

[Thunder]

Black Sabbath only made 3 great albums in a row (actually, they only made three great albums period), but I think the first two are so amazing they should each count double.

[Rylant]

The Beatles

Rubber Soul (1965)
Revolver (1966)
Sgt Pepper (1967)
Magical Mystery Tour (1967)
The Beatles (aka White Album) (1968)

Though I can see how some purists could argue Magical Mystery Tour is not a "real" album. It's personally among my favourites.

No question, the Beatles did a lot of great stuff. Sadly, I also think they churned out a LOT of garbage...

Paranoid best heavy metal album, period.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is considered by many to be their "masterpiece".

i agree here as those first 4 are GREAT classic albums , not many bands can put out 5 in a row , if any.
