[runningshoes]

AC/DC

Highway To Hell
Back In Black
For Those About To Rock

 

[TheWhalerfan]

Rush-2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. + Signals, Grace Under Pressure That's a stout pile of records.

So many good albums

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

In my opinion Elton John still has the best run of albums in all of music so me and runningshoes are pretty much on the same page.

Elton John · Tumbleweed Connection · 17-11-70 · Madman Across the Water · Honky Château · Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player · Goodbye Yellow Brick Road · Caribou · Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy · Rock of the Westies · Blue Moves

If we are only talking about "bona fide stand-alone classics" then I suppose his run would probably start at either "Madman Across The Water" or "Honky Château" and end at "Captain Fantastic..." but I think the couple albums outside of those are all very amazing albums and should be included.

I think we are trying to include 3 or more 8-9/10 albums in a row if I read the OP correctly. For me putting a list together has not been easy as I am trying to separate very good from classic. I am impressed there have been so many different entries. Maybe I am being too critical?

Naw...I couldn't extend it longer meself. I'd say it's refining the list. It's really a matter of taste individually...separating the wheat from the chaff.

[Soot and Stars]

Here's an artist that has three albums and they're all perfect which I think has to do with the fact that she takes her time on working on all of them and releases music on her terms!
