[pip65]

Porcupine Tree: In Absentia / Deadwing / Fear of a Blank Planet

 

Steven Wilson: Grace for Drowning / The Raven That Refused to Sing / Hand.Cannot.Erase.

 

Rush: Hemispheres / Permanent Waves / Moving Pictures

 

Opeth: Blackwater Park / Deliverence/Damnation / Ghost Reveries / Watershed (could choose 3 on either side)

 

Anathema: We're Here Because We're Here / Weather Systems / Distant Satellites

 

Floyd: Meddle / Dark Side / Wish You Were Here / Animals / The Wall (mostly the 3 in the mdidle, but can't not include the other two near perfect)

 

Yes: The Yes Album / Fragile / Close to the Edge

 

Zeppelin: IV / Houses of the Holy / Physical Graffiti

 

King Crimson: Larks Tonque / Starless and Bible Black / Red

 

King's X: Gretchen / Faith Hope Love / King's X / Dogman (If I had to cut one, it would be Gretchen. IMO Dogman was the last perfect KX disc)

This is so close to what I would have posted, you have saved me the trouble.

Rush - permanent waves moving pictures signal

 

Black sabbath - black sabbath master of reality paranoid

 

 

[djflex]

Opeth - still life , orchid , blackwater park

[djflex]

The tragically hip- day for night, fully completely, road apples

[Rutlefan]

The Beatles -- Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver

 

The Kinks -- Face to Face, Something Else by The Kinks, The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society (also works with Arthur replacing Face to Face)

 

The Church -- Hologram of Baal, After Everything Now This, Forget Yourself

 

Worth re-mentioning -- Wire Pink Flag, Chairs Missing, 154 and Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic and Hemi, PeW, MP

You had the same typo/mistake. It's PINK FLAG, one of the greatest debut albums of all-time!

 

Side note - have you listened to Nocturnal Koreans? I love it.

 

"You had the same typo/mistake." I blame you! Your post planted the mistake :P. I love Nocturnal Koreans. Easily prefer it to Wire. I thought Wire was good but something was missing; the something went to the tracks in Nocturnal Koreans. Supposedly, Wire was meant to have the straight-forward, live-accessible material and NK the more studio-experimental stuff. In this case, the latter is better, IMO. I had event thought at one point, while listening to Wire, that if the material was a little more odd, it would be fantastic EP material, much like Read & Burn 03 was to Object 47. NK confirmed that no doubt.

[Chronos]

Anglagard: Hybrid/ Epilog / Viljans Öga

 

In other words, their entire discography. :)

It would be

My Arms, Your Hearse, Still LIfe, Blackwater Park

Or

Still Life, Blackwater Park, Deliverance

I beg to differ

[Segue Myles]

Can we just stick to the OP's rules?

 

It's worked fine so far it also makes it more interesting Union's way.

 

We could all just pick three albums we love by any artist. But in chronological order it gives this thread a sense of challenge.

Only if they are related somehow

You can cheat I guess with the timeline as long as they are related in someway. Like Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell alums. Made decades apart but it is a trilogy.

I guess but this way just seemed to be flowing quite nicely as it is.

[Mr. Not]

There's a lot, but the most important to note I think are:

 

King's X - Out of the Silent Planet, Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, Faith Hope Love

Yes - The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge

Radiohead - The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A

 

Each of these trilogies contain just one album in which I consider to be a personal favorite, but I'm not going to deny that these are amazing & renowned streaks of albums, as decided by a majority of listeners.

[Mr. Not]

I'm also wondering now what albums are actually considered solid, conceptual trilogies.

 

I consider Joe's Garage to be a whole, I'd imagine back in the late 70's it's be considered a double, but there are three distinct act.. So while there aren't three albums, it's still a trilogy in a way

 

Here's a list of 6 other album trilogies..

Ashamed to say that the only one I knew of before reading was Green Day's UnoDosTres :eyeroll:
