Best sequence of (at least 3) consecutive brilliant albums

Radiohead "OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac".

Surprised you left off "The Bends".

Honestly I wouldn't rank The Bends up there with those 3.

That said, I wish Radiohead would do another guitar album. Just a straight-ahead guitar driven record would be like the most radical thing they could do at this stage.

Actung baby, Zooropa, Pop - U2.

HOLY Bible, Everything Must Go, This is My Truth - Manic Street Preachers.

Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, Holy wood.

Pop sucked. They didn't even use the original recordings from the album when they released their greatest hits 1990-2000.

Pop didn't suck, it was just different and had a troubled production but it certainly didn't suck and I would argue it is better than any of their albums since.

Wasted I agree with your Manson picks, all three are great albums.

Iron Maiden is a difficult one, but I would say Brave New World, Dance of Death, A Matter of Life and Death and The Final Frontier are up there. (Yes I know I cheated and used four album but they're all excellent I couldn't separate them.)

I love POP.I saw the POPMART tour in Toronto in 97 & it remains one of my favorite shows. We waited all night outside a video store here in Buffalo and we got 6th row on the floor. I seem to recall the tickets only being $50 or so. If God Will Send His Angels is one of my all-time favorite U 2 songs.

Nah, SOE sucks. Easily the worst non-Bush album. My Anthrax sequence would be Fistful Of Metal / Spreading The Disease / Among The Living. Worship Music is my favorite Anthrax album though.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Devil's Night Out / More Noise & Other Disturbances / Don't Know How To Party or A Jackknife To A Swan / Pin Points And Gin Joints / The Magic Of Youth. Another band where my favorite album (Let's Face It) is bookended by my 2 least favorites (Question The Answers and Pay Attention).

Alice Cooper - Love It To Death / Killer / School's Out / Billion Dollar Babies and Constrictor / Raise Your Fist And Yell / Trash / Hey Stoopid

Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell / The Mob Rules / Born Again

Dio - Holy Diver / The Last In Line / Sacred Heart / Dream Evil
