The Owl Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 QUOTE (rushgoober @ Mar 9 2010, 07:20 PM) QUOTE (The Owl @ Mar 9 2010, 12:38 PM) I want you to think of bands who had 3 albums that would be classified as that band's best work, I was a bit thrown by this statement. Did you mean for us to put down what people in general think of as the best three of a band's work that are back to back to back, or what we subjectively thought fit that description? I did my list based on more what people think in general as opposed to my own opinion. Either /OR both are good............but mostly what you subjectively think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshine Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 This is a cool thread! I will try not to repeat what anyone else has already posted, but that is probably inevitable. There really are not that many bands who have done this. Here are mine: The Who Tommy Who's Next Quadrophenia Genesis Nursery Cryme Foxtrot Selling England By The Pound Rainbow Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow Rising Long Live Rock 'n' Roll That's all folks!

Steevo Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 QUOTE (The Owl @ Mar 10 2010, 10:48 AM)The Led Zeppelin additions are good, but I would argue for Zoso, Houses, Physical Graffiti instead of III, Zoso, and Houses. Have to agree. As much as I adore III, it must end on Physical - which for me is their crowning achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I tried REM, but I couldn't do it. Unlike most bands, my favorites from them are too spread out (Murmur, Lifes Rich Pageant, Automatic). Bowie - Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane Siouxsie and the Banshees - Hyaena, Tinderbox, Peepshow Overkill - Under the Influence, Years of Decay, Horrorscope Kreator - Pleasure to Kill, Terrible Certainty, Extreme Aggression Gwar - Scumdogs of the Universe, America Must Be Destroyed, This Toilet Earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
