This statement -- even if in jest, irony or assholiness -- cannot be allowed to stand. The Beatles invented modern rock and roll. Noone compares. Not Elvis, not Dylan, not Maiden. In terms of quality, global impact, development and longevity, nothing and noone can compare.
My three favorite three-song sequences:
Meat Puppets II:
8 New Gods
9 Oh, Me
10 Lake of Fire
Jesus & Mary Chain Psychocandy
11 My Little Underground
12 You Trip Me Up
13 Something's Wrong
Minutemen Buzz or Howl Under Influence of Heat
6 I Felt Like a Gringo
7 The Product
8 Little Man with a Gun in His Hand
If I had to come up with a fourth, I'd agree with Betty's concluding trio from Abbey Road.
