5 album challenge

[DusterDave]

I would also say The Tragically Hip

Up to Here
Road Apples
Fully Completely
Day for Night
Trouble at the Henhouse

The thing about this for me, is that the first 4 are undeniable. Whether or not you would consider Trouble at the Henhouse to be “Great” may be questionable.

Rylant

The Hip are my favourite band so I’m on board with this but it would look so much more impressive if we could skip Henhouse and slot in Phantom Power.

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

Agree 100% with The Doors here.

I'll support Pearl Jam here:

Ten (91)
Vs (93)
Vitalogy (94)
No Code (96)
Yield (98)

The first 4 are great, I’d put Yield in the really good category.



Great idea for a thread by the way. Very difficult to think of any others besides the ones mentioned already. It’d be a lot easier with 3 consecutive great albums.

I would replace Trouble at the Henhouse with their debut album, The Tragically Hip. It's a lesser known album but it is great from start to finish.

[GSD]

[Axeman33]

I cant believe no one has mentioned the greatest rock band of all time (and I don't say this because the movie is popular right now, I've said this for years

Queen

Sheer Heart Attack
A Night At the Opera
A Day At The Races
News of the World
Jazz
The Game

love Queen, but three of those make the cut.

[GSD]

Last shameless plug for one of my favorites:

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mothers Milk
Sex, Sugar.......
By The Way
Stadium Arcadium
Californication

You're crazy. All of those were excellent albums. I could have easily added a few more but they weren't in a row. The Hot Space album was a piece of garbage and broke the string for me.

Not as big on Mother's Milk or Stadium Arcadium, but the other three I agree with.

[Eskimo Brother]

I'll go with the Food Fighters:

The colour and the shape - 1997
There's nothing left to lose - 1999
One by one - 2002
In your honour - 2005
Echoes, silence, patience, and grace - 2007
Wasting light - 2011

And then sonic highways ruined it.

[The Guvnah]

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.

Wildly incorrect. They made six great albums to start their career.

Black Sabbath
Paranoid
Master of Reality
Volume 4
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Sabotage

Then the wheels fell off.

[audiopile]

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Radiohead

I’m a huge fan and was thinking about it they only made 3 albums that are excellent, and 2 that are great but only filler to make a list of 5.

OK Computer
The Bends
Pablo Honey

Amnesiac / Kid A <—- essentially a double length. Everything after was trash in comparison.

I tried to come up with some more recent options, here's the two that stood out to me

Third Eye Blind
Third Eye Blind
Blue
Out of the Vein
Ursa Major
Dopamine

I secretly enjoyed their ST album but i’m sorry to say they were pretty terrible live. Didn’t even know they did 5 albums.

[The Guvnah]

No one should argue against Sabbath!

I think Clutch and The Rheostatics did it, but likely too obscure to be considered.

Prolly shouldn't mention RA now cause stuff.

I submit for appraisal... Wilco. The evolution of the band expressing the same true self at the same time was exquisite.

AM
Being There
Summerteeth
YHF
AGIB

I would say no to Clutch, even though they're one of my favourite bands of all time.

Transnational Speedway League: not great
Clutch: great
The Elephant Riders: great
Jam Room: not great
Pure Rock Fury: great
Blast Tyrant: just ****ing unbelievably amazing
Robot Hive/Exodus: great
From Beale Street to Oblivion: great
Strange Cousins from the West: not great
Earth Rocker: great
Psychic Warfare: great
Book of Bad Decisions: not great

They screwed it up with Strange Cousins. That album was just mediocre beyond belief.

[Big Baby]

Radiohead

The Bends
Ok Computer
Kid A
Amnesiac
Hail to the Thief

Favourite band. S

[Clutch]

I'm going to throw out Primus, one of my all time favs:

Suck On This
Frizzle Fry
Sailing The Seas Of Cheese
Porksoda
Tales From The Punchbowl
Brown Album
