Rick N. Backer Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I'd have to say Van Halen's first 6. You could argue for Sabbath's and Zeppelin's first 6 as well. The Stones 5 album run from Beggar's Banquet to Goat's Head Soup deserves mention. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Let's see . . . Rush: 2112, AFtK, Hemispheres, Pew, Moving Pictures, Signals, GUP, Power Windows . . . that's eight, but I'm squishy on Signals Led Zeppelin: I, II, III, IV, HotH, Physical Graffiti . . . that's six Pink Floyd: Meddle, Obscured by Clouds, DSOTM (that's right, Lorraine!), WYWH, Animals, The Wall . . . that's six Genesis: Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling, The Lamb, ATotT, Wind & Wuthering . . . that's six I'm noticing a pattern; six is hard to top . . .

Van Halen is the only band that I am ALWAYS in the mood for. If I'm listening to their 1st 6 albums on shuffle, there is literally not a single one I skip. And every song of theirs makes me smile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) To maximise 'greatness' i'll go for 5 consecutive truly great albums (IMHO!) - Sabbath - Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Zeppelin - 2, 3, 4, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti (could have included 1 but that would make 6!) Genesis - Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England By The Pound, Lam Lies Down On Broadway, A Trick of the Tail Jethro Tull - Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, A Passion Play Yes - The Yes Album, Fragile, Close To The Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans, Relayer Rush - 2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures Those are the first that sprung to mind, there are more but as my newly created motto says .... Perhaps it's an age thing™ !! Edited June 12, 2020 by zepphead 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Could it be The Beatles? The run from A Hard Day's Night through Let It Be is like 9 in a row, though it might be controversial to call Help or Let It Be truly great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 And what about Bowie? Hardcore fans often say he was untouchable in the 70s, so if you count every one of his 70s albums (minus the covers album) and toss in Scary Monsters and Let's Dance for good measure, that's 12. Admittedly I haven't heard The Man Who Sold The World yet, but I've heard the rest of that run and it is phenomenal. I will say there's a bit of a dip around Diamond Dogs / Young Americans as Bowie loses himself to cocaine and weird fascist books for a while and tries to figure out how to move past Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders, but neither of them are half bad and he picks things right back up with Station To Station. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet if we're giving credit where credit's due, the run from Rubber Soul to Abbey Road at least is phenomenal and goes toe to toe with any other famous 6 album run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard everything from their first run except Larks' Tongues In Aspic, but if that's as good as they say then there's at least 7, possibly more depending on how great their later incarnations are.

It's not controversial at all. To call it otherwise is ridiculous to me. Fair. I see people talk about Hard Day's Night as a great early Beatles album all the time, but I don't see as much love for Help. But maybe I'm not looking in the right places. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That perception could be due to the duds being along side absolutely perfect songs, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
