Sorry, Sixx, I just think 10000 Days is so much better than Undertow.

I can definitely see that. As far as the actual musical talent of 10,000 Days it blows Undertow out of the water. I think that the raw emotion caught on Undertow is unbeatable though.
I think the OP meant three albums in a row, not just any three albums.
Atmosphere
Ice Cube
1.AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted
2.Death Certificate
3.The Predator
Marvin Gaye

This is clearly not a stretch of 3 albums since you’ve listed 4. Is this a coherent argument for this not being a great 3 album stretch?

Death Certificate is my fave Ice Cube album yo. Such a shame to think that he could go from this to kiddie flicks like Are We There Yet?. No one could beat Ice Cube with regards to flow and killing a beat back in the early 90s.

I suppose it is. I just couldn’t get myself to choose dropping either Red Headed Stranger or Yesterday’s Wine since they’re both GREAT. So I left them.
BTW, whoever listed Kyuss, great call on a great band.
Some off the top of my head:
Led Zeppelin
-Led Zeppelin II
-Led Zeppelin III
-Led Zeppelin IV
The Rolling Stones
-Beggars Banquet
-Let It Bleed
-Sticky Fingers
-Exile On Main St. (You can take this or Beggars Banquet off to get 3 straight)
The Rolling Stones (this is the British order of releases)
-Out of Our Heads
-Aftermath
-Between The Buttons
The Verve
-A Storm In Heaven
-A Northern Soul
-Urban Hymns
The Beatles
-Help!
-Rubber Soul
-Revolver
Oasis
-Definitely Maybe
-(What’s the Story) Morning Glory
-Be Here Now
The Beastie Boys
-Licensed To Ill
-Paul’s Boutique
-Check Your Head
Kanye West
-The College Dropout
-Late Registration
-Graduation
Side-notes: Good on the guys who mentioned Neil Young, Bob Dylan and A Tribe Called Quest.
It’s amazing how many GREAT artists haven’t got 3 straight classics. Biggie Smalls, The New York Dolls, The Libertines, all got stuck at two. Consistency is hard even for a lot of the greats.

While I like Houses, it was released between two monster albums and doesn’t quite live up to them.
Too bad Led Zeppelin II wasn’t released between the untitled album and Graffiti. That would easily be the best three albums in a row. Much better than any overrated Beatles albums.

Sorry, but the Beatles rarely ever lived up to the hype that surrounded them.
Those are three good albums though.

I am not personally a huge Beatles fan, but to say they failed to live up to their hype is incorrect. Culturally and musically no band made more of an impact.

No, they did live up to the hype. They were masters of the pop song, and it’s be hard to find anyone from the rock n roll era to do it as well as them. It’d just that when your hyped up to be geniuses for that ability, people expect more than just great pop songs and then they’re disappointed.
But I will say I wasn’t as big a fan of Sgt. Peppers and the albums after as I was of their previous output. If their earliest albums didn’t have songs that weren’t as strong as the hits, they’d have like 5-7 straight great albums IMO.

Physical Graffiti would’ve been an amazing (double) album and one of the greatest albums ever IMO, except on some of the tracks you can hear Robert Plants voice isn’t as good as before. From what I’ve read they recorded their albums pretty quickly compared to other artists, and for that album in particular the recording period was split in two, so that might have had something to do with it.

They were media darlings that happened to be in the right place at the right time.
It’s just like now, with that silly Beatles Rock Band game. Everyone is a Beatles fan all of a sudden.
And musically, I can think of several bands that were superior.

Plant did say in an interview that the album was recorded in different segments. They would record material, then just decide to take a break, which, as you said, was different than what they normally did.
Robert Plant’s voice began to really drop off around that time period. Some say even before that. You can tell a significant difference between live footage from 1973 and 1975.
While I do love Graffiti, there is a song or two on it that I would consider “filler”.

You’ve gotta at least explain why you don’t like the artist. I don’t mean to offend you, but it ruins music discussions when you say something like “they were overhyped” just the way it does when someone plays the “music industry is evil” card or “people are too dumb to get real music” excuse.
Edit: Well, your next post sort’ve got better.
