    What's the Story Morning Glory
    Be Here Now 

    Be Here Now is a giant of an album that people weirdly and unfairly have a downer on
    Spot on. Can’t think of a better three consecutive albums. All class in their own right. What’s the story probably my favourite. The other two I couldn’t call.

    Great choice. Variation on a great Springsteen theme, my favourite three consecutively would be:

    Born To Run
    Darkness On The Edge Of Town
    The River

    I was torn between either of those bunch of three and also from the river to born in the USA via
    nebraska.
    There’s something about Nebraska, I don’t think I could say it’s my favourite Springsteen album (I’m not even sure that it’s one of my favourite Springsteen albums) but it just sounds so unique that it’s got to be included in any trio of his greatest stuff. 
  • Led Zep, Maiden, Slayer, Metallica, Tool, JM Jarre have all been covered earlier in the thread - no complaints there.

    Opeth:

    Orchid
    Morningrise
    My Arms, Your Hearse
    Still Life
    Blackwater Park

    (Yes, I'm well aware that's five albums - just take any consecutive three!)

    Faith No More:

    Introduce Yourself
    The Real Thing
    Angel Dust

    REM:

    Document
    Green
    Out Of Time

    U2:

    Boy
    October
    War

    Tindersticks:

    Tindersticks I
    Tindersticks II
    Curtains

    My Dying Bride:

    Turn Loose The Swans
    The Angel And The Dark River
    Like Gods Of The Sun

    Paradise Lost:

    Gothic
    Shades Of God
    Icon

    100%.

    Depending on my mood, Nebraska can be my go to Springsteen album. It's different in so many ways to a typical Springsteen album - dark, moody and deeply thought provoking.
  • Be Here Now is excellent 

    Plenty of bang for your buck, you can't level the songs not meaning anything or making sense because none of Noel Gallaghers music does, and I bet he would tell you that as well whereas Springsteen's is charged and has a narrative. 

    The Be Here Now tracks that, off the top of my head, stand the test of time and would be enormous if released today 

    I hope, I think, I know 
    The Girl in the dirty shirt
    Stand by me
    Dont Go Away 
    All around the world 
    Fade in/out 
    Its Gettin Better Man 

    I've heard Noel Gallagher talk about the album before in interviews and his main gripe is that it was written at a pretty unhappy time of his life and it was over produced. The songs are long and complex arrangements and it doesn't sound as raw as the first two but they released those two in such quick succession they kept the same sound whereas the third album is a world away from what's the story. 

    Say what you will about Noel Gallagher he knows how to write a chorus 

    I hear ya @bobmunro we normally agree but I'm standing my ground on this one, we can argue the toss when Lew Smith fights Ritson for the world title in London and we are there to see it ;-)

    and ... um... err .... give me a minute ......
    That would be the answer if they hadn't "wasted" the b sides and what ever.

    Sigur Ros:

    Takk 
    Med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust 
    Valtari 

    That's proper mid-season form. All outstanding albums.
    For a band where you cant understand a word they're singing (barring the very rare ones in English) Sigur Ros are brilliant. Jonsi's solo stuff has also been very good.

    When U2 were good.

  • As I said on the other thread, mine would be:

    David Bowie ('71-'73):

    Hunky Dory
    The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
    Aladdin Sane
    Maybe we are actually the same person.

  • The Clash
    Give 'Em Enough Rope
    London Calling

    I don't know Dylan's discography well enough to list three consecutive albums but I'd be surprised if there isn't a trio of great ones one after the other.

    Yep, those three will do.

    That would be the answer if they hadn't "wasted" the b sides and what ever. 
    Indeed if you skip Be Here Now, the b side compilation The Masterplan, released a year later would make an excellent 3rd album
  • Neil Young

    Harvest, On The Beach and Tonight's the Night (recorded before OTB but released after).

    Wouldn't argue if you joined Harvest up with Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After The Goldrush but for me the last two would be to similar.
