Name three consecutive albums not including compilations, live albums or bootlegs, that you think epitomise the band or performer.
Some starters:
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals Yes: Time and a Word, The Yes Album, Fragile (not easy as I wanted to include Relayer but not the two albums in between) Genesis: Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, A Trick of the Tail Hawkwind: In Search of Space, Doremi Fasol Latido, Hall of the Mountain Grill Black Sabbath: Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality Supertramp: Crime of the Century, Crisis What Crisis?, Even in the Quietest Moments...
Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home , Highway 61 Revisited , Blonde On Blonde David Bowie - Hunky Dory , The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars , Aladdin Sane Jethro Tull - Minstrel In THe Gallery , Too Old To Rock'n'Roll : To Young To Die , Songs From The Wood
Starter-for-ten, can't think of any others off the top of my head.
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Meddle
Def Leppard: Pyromania, Hysteria, Adrenalize
Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms, Communique, Dire Straits
Michael Jackson: Thriller, Bad, Dangerous
Air: Moon Safari, Talkie Walkie, Premiers Symptômes
Eric Clapton: 461 Ocean Boulevard, Slowhand, Reptile
Phil Collins: Face Value, No Jacket Required, ...But Seriously
Mary Black: No Frontiers, Babes in the Wood, Circus
A quick scan tells me that you haven't quite got it Paul. Dire Straits & Communiqué are consecutive, so the next one should be Making Movies. You're 2 albums out with Brothers in Arms. Dark Side of the Moon & Wish You Were Here are consecutive, so the album at either end should be Obscured By Clouds or Animals.

Once we've made sense of our world, we wanna go fuck up everybody else's because his or her truth doesn't match mine. But this is the problem. Truth is individual calculation. Which means because we all have different perspectives, there isn't one singular truth, is there?
Dire Straits: Dire Straits, Communique, Making Movies
also
Uriah Heep: Look at Yourself, Demons and Wizards, The Magician's Birthday Led Zeppelin: I, II, III Deep Purple: Deep Purple in Rock, Fireball, Machine Head Leonard Cohen: Various Positions, I'm Your Man, The Future
Hmm Tricky - even just sticking to the Floyd / Genesis battleground
I think Meddle, DSOM, WYWH rather than include Animals, although Animals was sound. Problem is it leaves the Wall out, but WYWH Animals The Wall leaves out probably the most famous seminal album of them all. And Echos is such a good track... I'll go with my opening shot for this one
Genesis - DQ's big obsession is even harder. There are bits of W&W and And Then There Were Three which tempt. Probably universal agreement that the Collins/ pop stuff from Duke on didn't really cut the mustard, in spite of our Phils (not unreasonable) point that you have to grow up and leave your fairy tale past behind sometime. I nearly vetoed the Wall on the grounds it was a Roger Waters solo album. That makes the Lamb tricky...
However, Genesis are plainly more than "old Genesis" or "new Genesis" so I think a defining series has to bridge Gabriel Genesis and Collins Genesis.
Blimey guv - Selling England, The Lamb, Trick of the Tail for Genesis
Quite fun - and I thought HFS was all about playground taunts.
If you can see the clothes, then the Emperor is wearing them and not naked. That doesnt mean they would keep me warm if I wore them. Friend of Arthur K of Funk. Ex Pink Triangle MD (long ago)
It's not all that clever. Just Google a band or artist. Go to discography, and they're all laid out for you.
I corrected Paul's post from memory

I'd differ from Martin's Black Sabbath selection (though I love the debut). I'd go: 'Vol. 4' 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' 'Sabotage'
Good choices, too! I had to go with the first album as a) it's completely fab and b) it represents a new genre and influenced hundreds of other groups.

Nearly Paul, nearly
