Good call on the X Japan run :lol:

This thread is impossible though, there are so many amazing runs

Anyone say Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile? Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers?

London Calling, Sandinista, Combat Rock - The Clash (yeah, no one apart from me cares for Sandinista, i know :lol:)

My Generation, A Quick One, The Who Sell Out - The Who (although the next 3 could easily be considered a sequence of three of equal weight

For me Sandinista kinda runs parallel to UYI; there's a great album floating around in a lot of filler. And Combat Rock is meh. It's got Rock the Casbah and Should I Stay or Should I Go but other than it's just a painful listen. I'd argue their big three were the Clash, Give 'em Enough Rope and climaxing at London Calling.

Trying to add something new:

Rod Stewart - The Rod Stewart Album to Never a Dull Moment (4 albums)

The Faces - Long Player to Oh La La (3 albums)

Deep Purple - In Rock to Machine Head (3 albums, how they didn't get inducted this year is beyond me)

Allman Brothers - Allman Brothers Band to Brothers and Sisters (5 albums?)

Dirt - Jar Of Flies - Alice In Chains

I'd ditch the self titled and pop Sap on the front instead.

Really though I think Beatles, The Stones, Sabbath and Metallica have this in the bag when it comes to big bands and critic's opinion.

Combat Rock is gorgeous from end to end, no your rights, i love that song, it's like a musical sledgehammer, heavy sub reggae skank with that awful dirt bike guitar sound, i love it! Car Jamming has some of the best lyrics i've ever heard, also Ghetto Defendant, Red Angel Dragnet and Straight to Hell, fuck me, that album is pure quality. Sandinista is very sprawling but i love it as a document of a very intense period of creativity, sort of like The Stones and Exile only slightly more mental. Give em Enough Rope is wonderful too but it's kinda polished...too polished...and neutered by virtue somewhat...only relatively though, it's still a fantastic album. The debut though, fuck me, nothing to beat it i reckon, unfuckwithable :)

I just put it at the end of the first run because The Black Rider is kind of the lost album in between the two really good eras of his career. Usually, you don't hear much about it. But good call on that one. Either way, it's either two great runs, or one amazingly long run.

I also added Orphans since it's just so damn good. I know it's a compilation of sorts, but it has so much great unreleased material.
