I feel like CTTE, TFTO, and Relayer fits, but eh, maybe that's just me.

Gong closely followed by KC.
 
My personal favorite would be Amon Duul II's "psychedelic trilogy" (first three albums).

Crimson > Zappa > Gong

Would Oldfield - Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Incantations fit the criteria?

KC. But since Berlin Trilogy got only 1 vote, I'm going to support Bowie.

All those are sequential releases which beat the absolute crap out of any on that list - except maybe Riverside.

So Riverside get my vote from the list.
 
I'm puzzled as to why Dark Side Of The Moon , Wish You Were Here and Animals cannot get onto a list that includes Mostly Autumn (ffs) and Pendragon (ffs x 1000)Confused
 
I'll give you Camel thoughWink

Jethro Tull, a hair over Rush.

The Genesis trilogy leaves all others behind. The only other sequence of 5-star albums I can think of is Anekdoten (Gravity, A Time of Day and Until All the Ghosts Are Gone). Gentle Giant comes close (In a Glass House, The Power and the Glory, Free Hand).

Sorry, but I think the Camel trilogy is very unlikely ever to be surpassed by anyone.
 
Those three from GG would have been no 6 on my list, actually.

Gong :). I don't consider the KC albums to be much of a trilogy.
