Best two album sequence by a band
« on: June 12, 2014, 11:50:51 am »
So I was thinking what the best back to back albums by the same band/act that ever was.  I came up with a few off hand:

1)  Fleetwood Mac
      a) Fleetwood Mac
      b) Rumours
2)  Depeche Mode:
      a) Music For the Masses
      b) Violator
3)  Adele
       a) 18
       b) 21
4) Beatles
       a) White Album
       b) Abbey Road

Don't most bands put out great LPs back to back? You could make an argument for any of these:

Radiohead -- The Bends / OK Computer /Kid A
Husker Du -- Zen Arcade/ New Day Rising / Flip Your Wig
Rolling Stones -- Beggars Banquet / Let It Bleed / Sticky Fingers / Exile on Main Street
The Stooges -- self-titled / Fun House / Raw Power
Springsteen -- Born to Run / Darkness on the Edge of Town / The River / Nebraska
Bad Religion -- Suffer / No Control / Against the Grain
X -- Los Angeles / Wild Gift / Under the Big Black Sun / More Fun in the New World
Sonic Youth -- EVOL / Sister/ Daydream Nation
The Who -- Sell Out / Tommy / Who's Next / Quadrophenia

First it is only two albums and third "Exile on Main Street" is an awful album and "Let it Bleed" is uneven.

Amazing you are the only one who did it correctly.   And those PJ Harvey albums are actually both really good.

Everybody has the right to be wrong. You listed the two worst Beatles albums.

Well it was two albums not three albums.  That is my main complaint.

How could you call Exile an "awful" album?
