I guess considering it isn't a studio album it might not count, but I've always had a problem with the extreme quiet-loud production on Rid of Me so the 4-Tracks are my definitive versions. I think Is This Desire's amazing but wanted Dry so it had to be.... | |

oh and before I clicked on this thread the mid-70s Stevie albums were the first that came to mind | |

Joni Mitchell - Court And Spark* // The Hissing of Summer Lawns // Hejira // Don Juan's Reckless Daughter
*Technically, Joni released a live album (Miles Of Aisles) after Court And Spark but it's great, as well, and could easily start off the 4 album sequence. | |

Yeah I'd happily include Time Fades Away, it's a killer record.
My pick for Neil would probably be Time Fades Away/On The Beach/Tonights the Night/Zuma
Half of American Stars N' Bars (the country-rock throwaways) really downgrades it for me. * * *

Totally agree w/ the Eurythmics.
For REM I'd go: Document/Green/Out of Time/Automatic for the People
And I love Hail to the Thief, but I think The Bends is better:
The Bends/Ok Computer/Kid A/Amnesiac * * *

To those including MJ's Dangerous and HIStory, I don't really think you understand the thread. It's kind of hard to put them on par with Fullfillingness and Songs in the Key, for instance. Or Revolver and Sgt. Pepper. The most compelling sequences are the one's (like Stevie's and many others here) where the progression builds peaks with an undisputed masterpiece. Several others here fit into that category, but not MJ or Janet (even though I love all of those J&L Janet albums.) You can't squeeze the Jackson's into every thread, and any mention of them in this one is off-topic.
Unless it's Joe Jackson!

(I skipped the brilliant Jumpin' Jive, as it was a throw away tribute of all covers.)

Definitely stronger to begin with More Songs About Buildings and Food (July 14, 1978) and end with Speaking in Tongues.

Of course, there IS a 20-year gap here!
