Wow I can't believe that "The Lamb" has been almost overlooked. Here's one choice;

The Lamb Lies down on Broadway
Fly on a Windshield
Broadway Melody of 1974

Yes, I agree. Fantastic opening to an album.

Also, one I forgot earlier:

Gentle Giant (Octopus):

The Advent of Panurge
Raconteur Troubador
Cry for everyone

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Rush-

Vapor Trails:
"Vapor Trail", "Secret Touch" and "Earthshine"

Good one; if only "Freeze" was stuck between "Earthshine" and "Nocturne" — then those would be the best 3-in-a-row on VT.

Rush has too many incidences of "best 3-in-a-row" on all their '80s albums save Hold Your Fire though...
