I forgot to mention them.
As much as I like the earlier 3 albums, I find myself a bit partial to Girl Bros. Its actually the album that made me grow another level of admiration for the whole Dream Factory project. | |

Common ground! That's my favourite Manson album too. The songs are great but I think the sound elevates it above his other albums so I give Michael Beinhorn a lot of credit. | |

the one & only MM album that I dig from start to finish!
Holy Wood bored me to tears... | |

Mechanical Animals was the second pic in my post! must rush to put it back in...
anyway, between all three "tryptych" albums (Antichrist, Mechanical, and Holy Wood) I consistently waiver between which one is my favorite. They are all PHENOMENAL works, however, especially taken as a whole. =0P
Okay...now Mechanical Animals is back in my list. Also, Holy Wood is AWESOME, especially from Cruci-fiction in space through the end. [Edited 6/20/11 15:02pm] Brace yourself

The Who-The Who Sell Out/Tommy/Who's Next/Quadrophenia | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I've always regarded The Who as just a decent singles band. Quadrophenia and Who's Next are consistent albums in fairness, but Tommy doesn't deliver the goods, and I think the rock opera concept is just plain silly. Pinball Wizard was alright once or twice. | |

Nothing wrong with that and probably a very good lesson to learn for up and coming bands. "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

As far as four album sequences go, I'd personally vote for Pretzel Logic/Katy Lied/The Royal Scam/Aja as their strongest and for showing the most growth.

Great lists by everyone. Good to see Prince, Bowie, Stevie, Hendrix represented.
I may catch some heat for this, but in terms of recent artists, I have to include
Kanye:
The College Dropout Late Registration Graduation 808 & Heartbreak (ok this one was the weakest of the bunch, but it was such a stylistic departure for a major hip hop artist that I believe it should be included)
Although released last year, MY Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy would have been an honorary mention. Ice Cube:
Amerikkka's Most Wanted Death Certificate The Predator Lethal Injection (The weakest of the bunch)
Tupac:
2Pacalypse Now Strictly 4 my N***** Me Against the World All Eyez on Me (The worst of the bunch. Never liked the Death Row stuff)

I thought about Tupac, but Strictly is definitely my least favourite album of his (obviously I'm excluding all the posthumous stuff), the production seemed to have taken a sharp dip from the debut: too much of an oldschool bent, and scratching really grates me. It's still got Keep Ya Head Up & I Get Around, but they sound like exceptions. Though I think All Eyez on Me is blinding, so........

None taken.
Now all Donald Fagen has to do is record another solo album and he can have his own 4 album sequence. For similar reasons, i'd pick The Royal Scam/Aja/Gaucho/Two Against Nature adding the fact that TAN also introduced them as a consistent touring act.

That live album is bloody good stuff.
Should the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack qualify? Five new Gibb songs does not a full album make.
Their first four albums (1st, Horizontal, Idea and Odessa) deserve a nod as well. | |

As much as I think Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules are the equal of any Ozzy-era album, thas the obvious four run sequence.

Agreed. It just seemed somewhat off topic to include live albums in general.
On it's own, I don't think SNF should qualify even though it's sales were clearly on the strength of the Bee Gee's singles. That's why I threw in Spirits, to illustrate that even without Fever (or a great Live album), the Brothers Gibb were on a tremendous run. "There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad.

To those including The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour and White Album, 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 Off The Wall and Thriller. 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 The Beatles (even though I love all of those albums.) You can't squeeze the The Beatles into every thread, and any mention of them in this one is off-topic.
Unless it's Ringo Starr!
I Wanna Be Santa Claus Choose Love Liverpool 8 Y Not
(I skipped the brilliant Ringo Rama, as it was a throw away album.)

Kick Unplugged's arse outta there, add Incesticide, and I'm with you. | |

It's a matter of personal taste, that's what you fail to understand. An incremental quality increase over four consecutive albums does not objectively make for a compelling sequence.
It seems to be MJ who wheedles his way into threads like this, time to forget the guy | |
