Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist


There are periods where an artist or a group reach a creative peak and release a series of consecutive albums that are all masterpieces. These are an artists' Golden Age. Just curious, but what do you consider the golden age records of your favorite artists. Must be consecutive and "Greatest Hits" not allowed.

My fav is Stevie Wonder from:

Music of the Mind
Talking Book
Innervision
Forfillingness First Finale
Songs In the Key of Life

Five incredible albums in four years.

Thanks Treyhoss, I'd forgotten To Our Children's Children's Children. This was a great run indeed.
The first four by The Ramones (The best damn four in a row by anyone, anytime, ever)

The first five by The Clash (none of these were as good as any of the above Ramones albums, but there were no stinkers in this sequence either)

Everything by The Pogues (until Shane left)

Everything by The Rolling Stones (until Goat's Head Soup, whereupon The Stones proceeded to set a still unbroken record for the longest streak of totally crappy albums by any band!)

Truth be told, my fellow gonsters, the question as to who has released the most consecutive great rock dics has to come down to either Van Morrison or Bob Dylan. Both veterans are now in the midst of an astonishingly strong hitting streak.
Entertaining thread. Most of the obivious ones have already been listed so hows abouts some R&B

Otis Blue
The Soul Album
Dictionary of Soul
Live In Europe

I've Never Loved a Man
Aretha Arrives
Lady Soul
Aretha Now

Let's Stay Together
I'm Still in Love With You
Call Me

Mothership Connection
Hardcore Jollies
Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrom
One Nation Under a Groove
Motor Booty Affair
I would like to add Radiohead: The Bends - OK Computer - Kid A. Not only are all three of these albums great, they all have a markedly different sound and show the progression of one of the most creative bands of recent years.
New Order

Movement
Power, Corruption, and Lies
Low Life
Brotherhood
Technique

Then they started slipping, but hey, 5 is a fantastic run!
