Some great picks already with Stone Roses, The Jam, Specials, Madness, Foos, Ash, I’d add another Arctic Monkeys album (AM) and Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On.

Marvin Gaye - What’s Going On / What’s Happening Brother / Flyin’ High (In The Friendly Sky)3 -

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane over the sea

I'd love to be able to nominate the fifth album by Finnish folk/pagan metal outfit Moonsorrow, Viides luku – Hävitetty
1. Jäästä syntynyt/Varjojen virta
2. Tuleen ajettu maa
Now comes the problem: there isn't a third track (track 1 is 30 mins, track 2 is 26 mins) so I guess that makes it ineligible for this discussion ...2 -
I'd prefer the LAST three songs of any album...David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from MarsSide Two4 - Ziggy Stardust5 - Suffragette City6 - Rock 'n' Roll Suicide6
-
But if it IS first three, then...The Boards of Canada - The Campfire HeadphaseChromakey DreamcoatSatellite Anthem IcarusPeacock TailI don't count the intro (Into the Rainbow Vein) as it's only a few seconds...

Having the first three is actually quite hard, a lot of my favourite albums have 2 out of 3...
So here's two
The Seabirds
Estuary Bed
Chicken Killer
Triffids - Born Sandy Devotional
My Spanish Dad
Exit Wound
The Sexual Loneliness of Jesus Christ
Jackie Leven - Creatures of Light and Darkness
A plus from me for Foreverchanges, Velvet Underground and Nico and The Clash as well. I'm sure there's more if I really put my mind to it.0 -
American Pie
Till Tomorrow
Starry Starry Night

Made in Japan - Deep Purple
Highway Star and Sweet Child in Time (only two tracks on the First side)
Meat loafBat out of Hell
