From an idea on the HFS DQ thread.
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...

Michael Jackson: Thriller, Bad, Dangerous
Air: Moon Safari, Virgin Suicides, 10 000 Hz Legend

Nice idea, 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.

Chris got there before me. The operative word is consecutive!

Dire Straits: Dire Straits, Communique, Making Movies
also

Air: Moon Safari, Talkie Walkie, Premiers Symptômes Air is questionable, too (Premieres Symptomes is listed as an EP). I'd go for... Air: Moon Safari, 10 000 Hz Legend, Talkie Walkie

Oops I totally missed the consecutive bit, that's the problem of trying to reply to Forum posts whilst sitting on a tedious conference call I'll update later.

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.

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

...the clever bit is choosing them!

I am afraid that putting clever and me into the sentence just doesn't work

For Floyd, it would have to be the first three for me: 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn' 'A Saucerful of Secrets' 'More'
I'll dip out of the Genesis discussion thanks!
I'd differ from Martin's Black Sabbath selection (though I love the debut). I'd go: 'Vol. 4' 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' 'Sabotage'
I agree with the earlier Bowie and Dylan choices.
Neil Young is tricky for me. At first I thought I'd go for: 'Freedom' 'Ragged Glory' 'Harvest Moon' But on reflection, I think it would be:
'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere' 'After the Gold Rush' 'Harvest'
Zappa/Mothers? Gosh that's REALLY hard! Today it might be: 'The Grand Wazoo' 'Over-Nite Sensation' 'Apostrophe'
