@@paulbrookes413 I'll go the other way and say A Trick Of The Tail is on a par with their best too. Has any other band produced six classic albums in a row. Just Genesis imho.
@@videosbaisam true, when Queen makes a big hit or a really great deep cut, it can be a masterpiece, but for the most part their deep cuts aren't quite as amazing as the early albums from Black Sabbath or 70s prime Pink Floyd.
I'd include: The Who: Sell Out / Tommy / Who's Next / Quadrophenia Rush: A Farewell to Kings / Hemispheres / Permanent Waves / Moving Pictures Queen: any 4 album run of the 70s really, but I'd pick one that would include A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races Metallica: Kill 'Em All / Ride the Lightning / Master of Puppets / And Justice for All Ramones: Ramones / Leave Home / Rocket to Russia / Road to Ruin AC/DC: Let There Be Rock / Powerage / Highway to Hell / Back in Black Iron Maiden: Number of the Beast / Piece of Mind / Powerslave / Somewhere in Time The Kinks: Something Else / Village Green / Arthur / Lola
Nice. A few other worthy candidates: Sly & the Family Stone - Life, Stand, There's a Riot Goin' On, Fresh Prince - Dirty Mind, Kontroversy, 1999, Purple Rain
@frantruff great call on Sly and the Family Stone! Love all those albums, Life definitely a step down from the rest but shows the band nailing their sound.
You could even count their first four albums. The debut and Killers are incredible as well. Could extend it to 7th Son of a 7th Son too. They really didn’t release a bad album in the 80s.
@@JackRice007 All masterpieces. And then they fell apart. Nothing new. They were just repeating themselves with a lousier sound. But people dig the later stuff. Go figure.
@@JackRice007 A couple here and there. I never dug Fear of the Dark. It sounds like the same stock formula they used dozens of times before, but not quite as good.
@@NelsonMontana1234I would recommend you checking out Brave New World and A Matter of Life and Death. I feel like those albums were where Maiden kinda grew and developed, both lyrically and sonically.
I could choose two separate four album runs for R.E.M.: 1. The early IRS albums of Murmur, Reckoning, Fables of the Reconstruction and Life's Rich Paegant 2. The crossover albums into mainstream success: Document, Green, Out of Time, Automatic For the People
Thank you for recognizing the greatness of Stevie Wonder's run which could even back up one album "Music of My Mind" (1970) and forward 2 to "Journey Into the Secret Life of Plants" (1977) and "Hotter Than July" (1978).
Nah. Journey is clearly Stevie overstretching himself and over complicating things, I'm glad he got back his Mojo and sense of direction for Hotter than July. But then that was it - I think the flame of making great albums burned out in him after that.
Making these lists has made me realize that there is a lot of disagreement about which albums the Beatles released in the late 60s count as albums. In my opinion this is the chronology of there albums after Rubber Soul. Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road. Magical Mystery Tou,r, not released as an album in the UK, but the US version of the album has so many bangers I want to count it. Yellow Submarine, it's a movie soundtrack but it was still released as an album so I think it counts.
Honestly I feel like the arrangement of their 4 album streak in my opinion is from Revolver to the White Album as I feel like the White Album also has too many bangers not to count it (Still love Rubber Soul tho)
Personally, I'd veto Yellow Submarine as a Beatles "album" because the second side is all George Martin. Also, 2 of the Beatles songs on Side A were previously released - "Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need Is Love".
Agree with Floyd being top, but it should be Meddle/Dark Side/WYWH/Animals, IMO. Bowie and Dylan you could probably have made three lists each, with 12 different albums in them.
You left out two of the best. Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde. Crime of the century, Crisis what crisis, Even in the quietest moments and Breakfast in America.
You could also put in any 4 album run combo by RUSH from 2112 through Power Windows. Not a doubt in my mind, they were the best band on the planet for these 10 years
Farewell to Kings through Moving Pictures is just crazy work. Unbelievable how consistently great they were, almost getting better with each album (though I do like Kings more than Hemispheres)
Are you kidding me!!: Kinks (Face to Face, Something Else, Village Green, Arthur, Lola vs Powerman, Muswell Hillbillies) pick the first 4, middle 4, last 4 or make a 6-run list
In terms of which Beatles albums would be eligible, I don't count Yellow Submarine as a proper Beatles album -- it only has four new Beatles songs. However, I count Magical Mystery Tour as a proper album, like you did, due to the US release, and because it is popularly accepted as a proper Beatles album. That means, you could pick any four album run, starting with Rubber Soul up to starting with Magical Mystery Tour. I can see starting with Rubber Soul as you did, but I'd probably start with Sgt. Pepper. 1) Rubber Soul 2) Revolver *3) Sgt. Pepper 4) Magical Mystery Tour 5) White Album 6) Abbey Road* 7) Let It Be
For Zeppelin I would start with LZ Iii and go through Physical Graffiti Also, Bjork’s four album run starting with Debut (Post, Homogenic, Vespertine) is rock solid. Rush: 2112, A Farewell to King’s, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves
My personal number one is Billy Joel: Turnstiles, The Stranger, 52nd Street, Glass Houses. Add on The Nylon Curtain and I think he also has the best 5 album run of all time
How could Jackson Browne's first 4 albums be left off a legitimate Top 20? Jackson Browne,For Everyman,Late For the Sky and The Pretender. Sheer Brilliance....
People will disagree, but I'd add... The Police from Regatta de Blanc to Synchronicity Bjork from Post to Vespertine The Moody Blues possibly? From Days of Future Passed to To our children etc. (The other albums were great, but didn't form a run like that) Maybe Bob Marley ? Tears for Fears? Pretenders?

And I give you Tull- Stand up- Benefit- Aqualung- Thick as a brick and Then from 75 -79, either Minstrel in the Gallery-Too old to rock and roll- Songs from the wood- Heavy Horses or leave out Minstrel and add on Stormwatch. Legendary stuff
@videosbaisam Because they were before the other 2, Grammy in 73 I believe for Aqualung, if playing at the same time as the other 2 bands I believe they would have been better, harder anyway.
For Zeppelin I would start with LZ Iii and go through Physical Graffiti Also, Bjork’s four album run starting with Debut (Post, Homogenic, Vespertine) is rock solid.
I was really worried until I saw the top three. But then everything fell into place lol. I think if we take the liberty of considering Donald Fagen's solo work as steely dan, Royal Scam - Aja - Gaucho - The Nightfly has to go in the top 5.
Imo The Cure has two, with Three Imaginary Boys/Seventeen Seconds/Faith/Pornography and Head On the Door/Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me/Disintegration/Wish, but that's just me
I’d say that The Stones had two great 4-album runs in my opinion: - Out Of Our Heads - December’s Children -Aftermath - Between The Buttons AND THEN….. - Beggars Banquet - Let It Bleed - Exile On Main Street - Sticky Fingers Just my opinion
The Doors spoilt any chance with Waiting for the Sun and The Soft Parade. I could also make a case for Michael Jackson inclusion especially to break up some rock bias.
Bjork has an extremely epic 4 album run Debut-Post-Homogenic-Vespertine I'll add some more that deserve recognition Metallica Kill 'Em All - And Justice For All Gentle Giant Octopus - Free Hand Fishmans Orange - Uchu Nippon Setagaya Elliott Smith Self-Titled - Figure 8 Miles Davis Kind of Blue - Bitches Brew Talk Talk It's My Life - Laughing Stock Can Tago Mago - Future Days Frank Zappa The Grand Wazoo - One Size Fits All Death Human - The Sound of Perseverance Outkast Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik - Stankonia Kate Bush Never For Ever - The Sensual World System of a Down Self-Titled - Mesmerize Hell, I'd even throw in the Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique - Hello Nasty
The only one where I disagreed with your album choice was for Steely Dan, I'd trade Gaucho for Pretzel Logic. For the Beatles I'd likely trade Magical Mystery Tour for Help! and for Zep, the debut for Houses of the Holy, but those two are close calls.

how bout Grateful Dead with Grateful Dead (Bertha album), Working Mans Dead, American Beauty, Europe 72, Wake of the Flood, then when they retired/unretired, they had another dynamite run... all on FM, not AM

Whadda 'bout:
ALICE COOPER- Love It To Death, Killer, School's Out, Billion Dollar Babies
RAMONES- S/T, Leave Home, Rocket To Russia, Road To Ruin
THE WHO- Sell Out, Tommy, Who's Next, Quadrophenia
JUDAS PRIEST- Sad Wings, Sin After Sin, Stained Class, Killing Machine
MOTORHEAD- S/T, Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades
Definitely Alice Cooper.
Alice for sure!!
how bout Grateful Dead with Grateful Dead (Bertha album), Working Mans Dead, American Beauty, Europe 72, Wake of the Flood, then when they retired/unretired, they had another dynamite run... all on FM, not AM
No one here's gonna agree with this, but for me nothing's touching Californication-By the Way-Stadium Arcadium-I'm with You, besides The Beatles.
Bowie should have appeared twice with Satation to station, Low, Heroes and Lodger or Low, Heroes, Lodger and Scary monsters and super creeps.
Cake. I’ve Seen Everything. A Happy Pocket. Weightlifting. If you don’t know who these albums are by, do Yourself a favour and find out.
Are you kidding? What about
Jethro Tull:
Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick
Yes:
The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge, Relayer
Wishbone Ash:
Wishbone Ash, Pilgrimage, Argus, Wishbone 4
Gentle Giant:
Acquiring the Taste, Three Friends, Octopus, In a Glass House
I submit these 4 for your consideration.
Just kidding about the “Are you kidding?”
Did you mean Topographic Oceans ?
@@paulbrookes413 You’re right, brain fart on my part.
I would think Elton John would be somewhere in the list. Maybe CCR, Jefferson Airplane, Van Halen, Cream's 4 albums.
Elton John's first 6 albums after Empty Sky.
no system of a down (self titled-mezmerize)? blasphemy
😂
no The Cure? and Bowie's run should have been Station to Station, Low, Heroes and Lodger over the ones you chose
Valid
Radiohead and The Beatles should be the top 2
Santana: Santana, Abraxas, III, Caravanserai
What? No Doors?
Tool and Metallica should definitely be here
🙏💪👏
deep purple ????
Steely Dan 20th......be better with the lists
Bowies is actually station to station low heroes and lodger
I didn't watch all of this because there is only 1 true answer. Scorpions- Love Drive, Animal Magnetism, Blackout, Love At First Sting.
Nah.
I love the Scorpions, but I prefer their ‘70s albums over their ‘80s albums.
@AntonXul You figure in the album Tokyo Tapes, thats a great 5 album run.
1:18 Beat: 😢
These are ridiculous choices
I’ll be unpopular with this.
Pearl Jam
Ten, Vs, Vitalogy, No Code.
Good call.
Not unpopular. Just it's a regression imho so a weak, though not unreasonable, suggestion. Perhaps not far behind the top 20, but not in the top 20.
sonic youth:
evol / sister / daydream nation / goo
Radiohead should be number in the top 5 and sufjan stevens dont should be in the top 10 .. that make u list wortless
