If you take the triumvirate of Tommy, Who's Next and Quadrophenia (I believe they were consecutive releases), no group can top that accomplishment.
Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper? But that's the only example I can think of.
Agree with the choices above and would add; Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and Wish You Were Here.
If you'll pardon my pretense and nit-picking, I'd just like to add that Animals was actually released in between Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Personally, I consider Animals to be Pink Floyd's best and more underrated album, and if you look at their body of work from 1971-1979 (Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals & The Wall it's probably the most powerful and impactful decade-long string of consecutive music releases in history. Not a bad album in the bunch (and I might even say, not even a bad song in the bunch).

Even though it came long after his first run of success, I consider Santana's Supernatural an incredible piece of musicianship. He has such a distinctive style, and yet he can accompany just about any singer, and he takes their music to a whole new level. There's not a bad song on the album, and his guitar makes any singer sound better, and fits with any style. Even as a comeback album after a run of mediocre records (which could have been seen as a "Santana & Friends" charity effort) it's still an amazing album, and I'll never stop listening to it.

I'm not allowed to keep changing my mind? I'm a woman.




I cannot decide between A Night at the Opera (Queen) or Mermaid Avenue (Billy Bragg and Wilco) so I'm picking both.




Plus The Chipmunk's Greatest Hits.

I agree as well, the tune "who are you" was recorded at the same time, as Who's next was planned as a double album

I could be wrong, but I believe "Who Are You" was about seven years after Who's Next....but that doesn't change the fact it's a kick-ass song. Gonna have to spin me some Who tunes now....

I stand corrected

The song recalls Townsend getting drunk with 2 of the Sex Pistols

and waking up in a soho doorway

Cheers

While I will go with Dark Side of the Moon for any long flight on my iPad, I'm still partial to U2's work in the early 90's. That band has more hits than the Beatles or Rolling Stones put together. Sure Bono might be out to lunch and political but he has a hell of a vocal range and with the top down on a sunny July afternoon in the country, I can crank it up and feel 17 again. Is t that what this is all about - revisiting the memories of our youth when we had a wide open road and weren't old enough to be jaded by women?
