OT: Best Consecutive Album Releases?
- Thread starter TheWerewolfFromTwilight
- Start date
True on Zep. I am not sure which two albums to pick for back to back. They were all great up till Presence.
Chicago was amazing for the first two albums. Terry Kath was just a phenomenal guitarist. Zep's House's of the Holy and Physical Graffiti were great in their own way, so I would say Zep 1-6.
Beatles its unfair 7 beyond great albums in a row in a span of less than 5 years from Hards Day Night through the White Album. Think about the evolution and revolution in that short time span there is nothing even remotely similar. On another group how about the who again tough to pick 2 but I would go with Tommy and Whos Next or Whos Next and Quadrephenia.
the hill I'm willing to take a stand on is The Rising is the best Bruce album, followed by Tunnel of Love. I didn't include since they weren't consecutive.
I think there's a little bit of filler on The Rising but Tunnel of Love is my 4th favorite.
No one picked anything from Taylor Swift? Says more about us on Panther-lair than any particular albums.
After The Gold Rush to Harvest.
Some fans could argue any combination of :
On The Beach to Tonight’s The Night to Zuma.
Neil was cooking in the 70’s

Too bad they were 5 years apart for each. They took a long time to out out albums.
In my opinion Tom petty had one of the greatest trifectas in full moon fever, into the great wide open and wildflowers.
Newer Aerosmith pump and get a grip were pretty solid cover to cover.
Joni Mitchell - ladies of the canyon and blue
Cat Steven’s - tea for tillerman and teaser and the firecat
Metallica - masters and and justice for all
Yes - fragile and close to the edge
Nevermore - dreaming neon black and dead heart in a dead world

Yeah but sometimes that is not bad. Maynard had alot of side projects (Perfect Circle, also very good) and it just didn't bombard people.
The first two a perfect circle albums are really good too. I wouldn't consider them in this category of "great back to back albums" but their work here is really high class as well
The Rising is a little too bloated for my tastes. Paradise and Nothing Man are two of my favorite underrated gems, and there are some other great ones on it. But I'd drop four or five songs that made it onto the album and add American Skin (he recorded this during The Rising sessions but obviously didn't include it).
As post-2000 Bruce albums go, The Rising, Magic, and Western Stars (probably the closest thing he's made to a Tunnel of Love comp, in my opinion) are still really, really good. You usually don't get that quality from artists over 50 (and almost 70 in the case of Western Stars). A lot of people love Wrecking Ball, too, but I'm not one of them. I dig Devils & Dust and Letter to You, but I don't put them in the class of the aforementioned three.
Same, but Nirvana is a pretty average punk/grunge band if you take Nevermind and the mystique surrounding Kurt Cobain's early passing away.
Obviously Nevermind still counts; I'm just saying their other works can't really hold a candle to it.
switch American Skin and Waiting for a Sunny Day
The musicians I know seem to think Bleach is Nirvana's best album, Dave Grohl says that's his favorite Nirvana album. Commercially speaking, it's obvious that Nevermind is in a class of it's own.
You had me at Disintegration but Wish was too poppy for me. I’d definitely go with Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss me. There’s not a day that goes by where a couple of those songs don’t find their way to my ears regardless of what platform I’m listening to…even more so than Disintegration songs. And that’s saying something because I think Disintegration is a top 5 album of all time.
I’d also go with REM Out of Time and Automatic For the People.
Jethro Tull 4-banger: Stand Up - Benefit - Aqualung - Thick As A Brick. Sheer genius... for thinking men.
Love the Van Halen love. Van Halen 1 was one of the most revolutionary albums in rock history. No one had heard a guitar like EVH’s before. But VH2 was ehh…
I bet this is blasphemy to you but I’d go with 5150 and OU812 back to back. And a trifecta with F.U.C.K.
The trifecta of Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted, Crooked Rain Crooked Rain and Woowee Zowee in the early mid 90's was pretty strong.
They seem to draw the ire of a lot of musicians. Seems there is no shortage of YouTube videos tearing Kurt's lack of guitar skills to bits.
Nonetheless, I get why people might think that Bleach is better in retrospect. If I were to go back and listen to The Offspring and Green Day (two of my favorite bands as a kid), I would choose Ignition and Kerplunk over Smash and Dookie, just because they feel more organic to me now. Not sure if they actually are or if I've just developed a perception of the latter two based on decades of their material getting so much radio play.
Seems like every great band or artist has an exceptional string of 3 or 4 or 5 albums. Not going to list all my choices, many of which have already been mentioned.
For two consecutive albums that were extraordinary, I'm going to say George Harrison's All Things Must Pass and Concert For Bangladesh. At a time when most people thought The Beatles were pretty much Lennon and McCartney, Harrison delivered a triple album that is arguably the best Beatles solo album. And while star studded benefits later became rather common place, the Bangladesh concert was unprecedented at the time. That the guy that was considered the Quiet Beatle had the standing in the rock world to put that together was pretty stunning.

Interesting that Stevie Wonder hasn't been mentioned. He had three consecutive albums that won the Grammy for best album three times in four years.
Not an Eagles fan, but my brother let me listen to a really cool voicemail his friend sent him. His friend owns a drum shop, and I guess the Eagles' drummer stopped in while they were in Pittsburgh. So he must have gotten my brother's friend's number, and then he called him to offer him free tickets and whatnot the day of the show. Mentioned they were going to see PNC Park at the time of the call, lol.
