Waitasec...you're NOT including Get Happy!!?

Get Happy!! is the best record he ever did.

My range would be Kink Kontroversey through Everybody's In Showbiz
Face To Face is my favorite Kinks album.

X - 1st 4 albums...Los Angeles, Wild Gift, Under The Big Black Sun, More Fun In The New World

Linda Ronstadt: Don't Cry Now to Get Closer
Joni Mitchell: First Album to Hejira
ABBA: Arrival to The Visitors

The Small Faces - Small Faces (Decca album) through The Autumn Stone

Elvis Costello - The first FIVE!

Steely Dan - CBAT through Gaucho

Billy Joel - Turnstiles through An Innocent Man

Joe Jackson - Look Sharp through Night and Day

Stevie Wonder - Music of my Mind through Hotter Than July (minus Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants)

Bob Marley - Catch A Fire through Kaya

I would nudge the Stones string back one spot to include "Between The Buttons", and take "Goat's Head Soup" off of the list.
As for the Who, I would take it back to "The Who Sell Out" and stop at "Odds & Sods".

I would nudge the Stones even back one more spot to Aftermath.

Aftermath through Exile

Heart — Dreamboat Annie through Dog & Butterfly
Squeeze — Argybargy through Babylon and On (incl. Difford & Tilbrook)
Steely Dan — Can't Buy a Thrill through Gaucho
Rod Stewart — Every Picture Tells a Story through A Night On the Town
Queen — Queen II through News of the World
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers — s/t through Long After Dark
Raspberries — s/t through Starting Over (Wish there'd been more)
10cc — The Original Soundtrack through Bloody Tourists
Alan Parsons Project — Eye In the Sky through Vulture Culture
Pet Shop Boys — Actually through Bilingual (excl. the "Disco" remix EPs and compilations)

KISS - s/t through Alive II.

Ramones: Ramones thru Road to Ruin (4)
Pink Floyd: Meddle, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall (not including Obscured by Clouds, which was a soundtrack)
Simon & Garfunkel: Sounds of Silence thru Bridge Over Troubled Water (5, or 4 if you throw out The Graduate)

I'd go Please Please Me through The Beatles. Yellow Submarine breaks the string.

Black Sabbath - s/t debut to Sabotage (alot of people will say i'm stretching it but i dont think so)

Porcupine Tree- The Sky Moves Sideways to The Incident. Each album has gotten better and better.

Journey- Infinity to Frontiers.

+1

I may be in the minority on these two -
The Clash - The Clash (either edition), Give 'Em Enough Rope, London Calling, Sandanista!
Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground & Nico, White Light/White Heat, Velvet Underground, Loaded

but I think this string is undeniable

Talking Heads - Talking Heads '77, More Songs About Buildings and Food, Fear of Music, Remain in Light, The Name of This Band is Talking Heads

Okay so I'm not foolin' anyWAN. For me it's Please Please Me through Love

Steely Dan-Katy Lied to Aja
Thin Lizzy-Jailbreak to Black Rose
Ultravox-Vienna to Lament
Van Halen-Van Halen to Fair Warning
Rolling Stones-Beggars Banquet to Exile On Main Street and Some Girls to Tattoo You
Rush-2112 to Grace Under Pressure
Yes-The Yes Album to 90125
Genesis-Foxtrot to The Lamb and A Trick Of The Tail to Abacab
Iron Maiden-Iron Maiden to Powerslave
Echo & Bunnymen-Crocodiles to Ocean Rain
U2-War to The Joshua Tree
Kansas-Kansas to Two For The Show
Asia-Asia to Astra
so many more

Creedence Clearwater Revival . . .

From their second album (Bayou Country) through their sixth album (Pendulum).

All of my other choices (at least those I remember) have already been listed.

The Joni Mitchell box set thread last year turned into a similar thread regarding singer songwriter strings of 3.
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=53316 (go down 13 posts to where the thread veers in this direction).

My list for that thread was

Joni Mitchell Blue, For The Roses & Court & Spark.
Tori Amos (Little Earthquakes, Under The Pink, Boys For Pele)
Bruce Cockburn (In The Falling Dark, Circles in The Stream, Further Adventures)
Dan Fogelberg (Home Free, Souvenirs, Captured Angel, Netherlands)
Neil Young (Everybody Knows, After The Goldrush, Harvest)

My range is a bit earlier. I think The Rod Stewart Album and Gasoline Alley are among his best....and lost interest after Never A Dull Moment.

Rod could have a special category as greatest consecutive multitasking lp string.
9 albums from 1968-1972......
The Jeff Beck Group - Truth, Beck-Ola
The Faces - First Step (I'm not calling it Small Faces), Long Player, A Nod Is as Good as a Wink
His 1st four albums - The Rod Steart Album, Gasoline Alley, Every Picture, Dull Moment

That's a great an output in a short period of time.....espceially considering what he turned into soon after.

100% agree on both. Most may think The Clash would go through London Calling, but I love Sandanista!
