Closing out Tim by the Replacements
 
 Left of the Dial
 Little Mascara
 Here Comes a Regular
 
 And the opening three from the Unforgettable Fire (a much better record than Joshua Tree, in my opinion)
 
 A Sort of Homecoming
 Pride
 Wire
 
 Can't believe both of these came out over 20 years ago.

I would have gone with:
 My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)
 Thrasher
 Ride My Llama
 
 Others:
 Bad Religion - Suffer
 Suffer
 Delerium of Disorder
 Part II (The Numbers Game)
 
 Johnny Cash - American Recordings
 Tennessee Stud
 Down There By The Train
 Redemption
 
 Zappa/Mothers - Were Only In It For the Money
 Let's Make the Water Turn Black
 The Idiot Bastard Sun
 Lonely Little Girl

 "The End" off Abbey Road
 
 and i'm going to have to go with any three songs, as well, from 13 songs...that album flows so well...
First three, the fact that they are somewhat related in theme helps.

How can you not include the title track too?  It flows right into "a little help".  In fact, I'd say 1-3 works better than 2-4.

What's with the youth of today and the Beatles obsession?  It's music that my dad likes ferchrissakes!
 
 The Beatles suck!  They ruined rock and roll.

Oh right...because music has sucked so much since 1969.   :)

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.

Correction. The Beatles are rock n roll. Without them, there would be nothing.

One of my faves is from the Buzzcocks' "A Different Kind of Tension" LP:
 
 4) You Know You Can't Help It
 5) Mad Mad Judy
 6) Raison d'Etre

This is a GREAT choice.
 
 Tho I'd cut it down to just the last two.
 
 Nightswimming is probably the best REM song that gets no love.
 
 *************
 
 I like these:
 
 Tracks 2,3 & 4 on Sticky Fingers (RS):
 Sway
 Wild Horses
 Can't You Hear Me Knocking
 
 and
 
 Tracks 2,3 & 4 on Gentlemen (Afghan Whigs):
 Gentlemen
 Be Sweet
 Debonair

Had to know it was coming from me...
 
 Clutch - "Blast Tyrant"
 
 Track 1 - Mercury
 Track 2 - Profits of Doom
 Track 3 - The Mob Goes Wild
 
 What a way to start an album off. Three solid heavy rock numbers that leave you breathless and tired from singing along.
