How about the first three tracks of "Daydream Nation":
 
 Teen Age Riot
 Silver Rocket
 The Sprawl

[pj]

See, I think a good Pavement trio is:
 
 Gold Soundz
 5-4=unity
 Range Life
 
 I think the instrumental kind of breaks things up nicely. this is one I planned to post and then saw some others had commented on Pavement.
 
 Also: Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
 
 Root Down
 Sabotage
 Get It Together

ok, i'll agree with that.  which begs a question- did pavement purposefully throw in a crappy song to mix things up?  as i noted above, take out 5-4=unity and unfair, gold soundz and range life are classic pavement songs. . .what i can't remember is, and smackie made the reference above, was the album made for album/tape or cd?  obviously, that would make a difference on setting up the tracks.

I never got into The Sprawl.  However, the trilogy at the end of Daydream might be a contender!

Interesting topic.  
 
 I've always thought every great record has to have a really kick-ass three song suite that you could just listen to on repeat all day...or at least I've found that to be the case on the ones that I fall in love with.
 
 Anyway, not sure if I'd classify AiH's "In Case We Die" as a truly great record....but I could definitely listen to these three on repeat:
 
 4. Wishbone
 5. Maybe You Can Owe Me
 6. Do the Whirlwind

Sennen
 
 The Widows CD
 
 These 3 songs are at the end of the disc and always make me want to start the CD over again from the beginning, especially since the 1st song, I Couldn't Tell You, is just as good and powerful as this trio of songs. The 1st 2 songs on this list actually slide right into each other making them a natural pair.
