What band or artist has made the most consecutive albums which you like? You can leave out live albums or compilations if it doesn't help your argument Smile

I came up with 8 from Rush:

A Farewell to Kings
Hemispheres
Permanent Waves
Moving Pictures
Signals
Grace Under Pressure
Power Windows
Hold Your Fire

And then they went and spoiled it all with Presto...

RE: Consecutive Albums

The Beatles. There's no duffers, but Revolver through to Abbey Road are exceptional, imo. Fair enough though I give Revolution 9 a wide berth: 8:22 of Ono-influenced self-indulgent garbage.

I ummed and ahhed about 2112 but couldn't in all conscience include it, and i think most rush live albums are a bit pointless. Actually, i think most live albums are a bit pointless...

Fair enough John. Wouldn`t call myself the greatest lover of live albums but I do think Rush tend to make very good ones. I`ve always liked the titles of Rush live albums. Makes a nice change from just calling it `Live`. Also like the way they make four studio albums followed by a live one and with just one or two exceptions (such as `Closer To The Heart`) you get a different track listing each time rather than the same old songs repeated again and again.

Anyway, may come back later with one or two other artists though I know I won`t top fifteen!

RE: Consecutive Albums

The usual protaganists I normally spew out: Bowie (pre-1980); Costello upto and including 1986; Muse; Crowded House/Finn Brothers; and err... err... can't think of any others at this stage.

RE: Consecutive Albums

Supertramp:

Crime of the Century
Crisis? What Crisis?
Even in the quietest moments
Breakfast in America
Famous last words
Brother where you bound
Free as a bird
Some things never change
Slow Motion

I didn't like the first two albums (Supertramp and Indelibly stamped).

Then there's all 15 (I think) Genisis albums.....preferred the original ones with Peter Gabriel.

RE: Consecutive Albums

For me it has to be Marillion:

    Script for a Jester's Tear
    Fugazi
    Misplaced Childhood
    Clutching at Straws
    Seasons End
    Holidays in Eden
    Brave
    Afraid of Sunlight
    This Strange Engine
    Radiation
    Marillion.com
    Anoraknophobia
    Marbles
    Somewhere Else
    Happiness Is the Road
    Less Is More

Plus live, compilation and other albums, nothing else in my music collection comes close to this number. excellent!

From the Time Machine tour? I might check that out, probably a more enjoyable experience than the O2...

Crumbs, I didn't think you'd like Supertramp too, Cno.  Can't claim I've heard much beyond the first four in your list, so must look at backfilling.  Which one is your fave of the newer ones?

Back to the OP, can I say all of Mahler's 9 symphonies (let's not debate the 10th) or is this 1960s to date only?

Maybe that's cheating as we'll soon get all of Mozart's 41 symphonies, or Haydn's 104.    good job
