best 3 song sequence on an album

[beetsnotbeats]

Sun - self-titled cd
 
 2. Reach For The Sky
 3. Leave It On Its Own
 4. Moon

[DaveKShape]

led zeppelin - houses of the holy
 
 1.  song remains the same
 2.  rain song
 3.  over the hills and far away

The Sprawl is definitely the weak link of the three.  I was thinking about the trilogy, but I don't think Eliminator Jr. (the last part)is up to par with the other two sections.

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

 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

I would consider In Case We Die to be a pretty great album.
 
 As far as pavement goes, I would say the first three songs from Brighten the Corners:
 
 1.Stereo
 2.Shady Lane
 3.Transport is Arranged
 
 And, how about from Modest Mouse's Lonesome Crowded West:
 
 1.Doin the Cockroach
 2.Cowboy Dan
 3.Trailer Trash

 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.

Oh definitely a good choice. Song Remains the Same still stands as my ultimate "get the adrenaline pumping" song.
