This is what happens when you blow your ACL out playing indoor footy and have nothing but time on your hands.
Greatest consecutive 3 album run in history:
1. Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals
The Wall is a great album in it's own right but I can't see a single valid argument for it pushing DSOTM off this list.
2. Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde On Blonde
I'd say Blood On The Tracks is his finest album but this is easily his greatest 3 album run.
3. Radiohead - The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A
Their next three albums make for another great, very underrated streak but this is their opus.
4. The Beatles - Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
The White Album feature some of the greatest songs The Beatles ever wrote but Rubber Soul is more consistent from bookend to bookend, and maybe the most influental album of all time.
5. The Smiths - Meat Is Murder, The Queen Is Dead, Strangeways Here We Come
I love their debut album as much as the next man, but Strangeways is comfortably better.
6. David Bowie - Station To Station, Low, Heroes
By far the hardest streak to pick out, first of all Station To Station just squeeks ahead of Lodger by the tiniest of margins, but I also was considering going earlier in his career. Hunky Dory, The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars and Aladdin Sane seems to me to be the fiercest challenger, but you can't really go wrong with Bowie. After his wacky debut all the way until Let's Dance in 1983, Young Americans is the only Bowie record I'm not in love with. His 70's really was just ridiculously strong.
7. Neil Young - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, After The Gold Rush, Harvest
If you claim On The Beach to be his best album I won't argue with you, but this is his strongest streak.
8. The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers
Most bands would sell their souls to make a record as good as Exile on Main St. but it doesn't make it in here.
9. Led Zeppelin - II, III, IV
Another tough one, their debut for me is not that great of an album, but it could have easily been from IV to Physical Graffiti. II and III are just such bold, experimental records and in the end gets ahead on personal preference.
10. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love, Electric Ladyland
Would have gone on to place higher on this list had he not died at 27. Still put his stamp on music forever.
Honorable mentions: Black Sabbath, Metallica, Blur, R.E.M, The Velvet Underground, Soundgarden
