Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist

@hifijones - Way to dig up a 15 year old thread........ Since you brought it back, I'll offer a couple of good runs that I didn't see previously:

Rush 
2112
A Farewell to Kings
Hemispheres
Permanent Waves
Moving Pictures
Signals

Lucinda Williams
Lucinda Williams S/T
Sweet Old World
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
Essence
World Without Tears

John Hiatt had a nice run in the late eighties with:

Bring The Family
Stolen Moments
Slow Turning.

He had done some great stuff earlier, and he's done some great stuff since - but those three are the rabbit passing through the snake.

Husker Du. Zen Arcade followed by New Day Rising.

Allmans. Fillmore East then Eat a Peach.

Also agree with the Little Feat and Steely Dan mentions.

@hifijones - It was intended as CREDIT.....  Good thread too. Worth re-visiting....

Whoever or whatever is to blame, this is a thread worth resurrection (in my O-pinion). Good on you @hifijones .

@reubent - Nice call on Lucinda, I’d add West to her run of studio albums. Don’t know Little Honey, but Blessed is another strong one. Haven’t kept up with Bone or Ghosts. Don’t know her live albums. She might deserve credit for a run of 10 solid studio recordings.

My contribution:
World Party/Karl Wallinger: Private Revolution, Goodbye Jumbo, Bang!
(I like Egyptology and Dumbing Up too but have a soft spot for the first 3)

Damien Jurado: St. Bartlett, Maraqopa, Bros. & Sisters of the Eternal Son
(Magical stuff)

It's a timeless topic! Many (most?) artists have an arc in the quality of their output, working their way up to their peak and then descending again. Sad but true. And many also have only "so" many good songs in them. Ray Davies ran out of musical ideas, as did Robbie Robertson, Tom Waits (imo ;-), Brian Wilson, etc. Other's arcs are more like a roller coaster---up, down, up again, down again, for years. Dylan of course, John Hiatt too.

Addendum...another "trilogy"; this one from The Standard:

Wire Post to Wire

The Swimmer

Albatross

From the beginning...

The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
The Who
Bob Dylan

Led Zepplin
Pink Floyd
ELP

Workingman's Dead
American Beauty
