Three Of The Best

[terry ells]

 

[Riff Raff]

Judas Priest with a run of 4 in a row for me with Sad Wings, Sin After Sin, Stained Class, Killing Machine.

I daresay Queensryche had a nice run of albums in a row as well.

When it comes to Megadeth I actually think they achieved 7 with Cryptic Writings also.

There's some killer gear cropping up, the Beatles and Priest choices are the ones I would have gone for.

Here's my favourite three from Uriah Heep and it just so happens they run back to back.

1971


1972


1972

I definitely have to post RATT's first three albums (The first self titled EP was great too).

19841985

1986

 

[LG]

Have to add some Texas flavor to this thread, that Lil' Ole Band from Tejas had a good run in the 70's. Hard to leave Tres Hombres off this list which I like more than Fandango but the OP says pick "3" so here they are.

Fandango 1975



Tejas 1976



Deguello 1979



I have been tempted to get a new pressing of the 180 gram vinyl edition of Deguello, but the old copy I inherited from my brother is in excellent condition and the cover is better.

I have no idea why they changed the cover art, look for yourself it's not even close to the quality of the original.

^^^ I would have stuck "Tres Hombres" in anyway LG and to eck with Sox's rules But yeah a hard one to leave out.

Right well my three from Tull and it's the heavy folk influenced period 1977, 1978 and 1979. I reckon at that time no band did it better.

 

[TrekkiELO]

ELO, Electric Light Orchestra had a couple of these threepeats or 6 in a row...

Eldorado, A Symphony (1974)


Face the Music (1975)


A New World Record (1976)


Out of the Blue (1977)


Discovery (1979)


Time (1981)

I was SO tempted to post those three JT albums myself, but figured you would get around to them eventually.

As far as ELO goes, Eldorado, Face the Music and A New World Record would be my choice for best 3 recordings in a row.
