Best Album Trilogy

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

1 Camel: Mirage, The Snow Goose, Moonmadness2 Genesis: Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, SEBTP
3 Mostly Autumn: Spirit of Autumn Past, The Last Bright Light, Passengers
4 Pendragon: The Window of Life, The Masquerade Overture, Not of this World
5 IQ: Ever, Subterranea, The Seventh House

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.

	Tull, natch, followed by King Crimson, Rush and then Bowie.

	Zappa. But GonG, KC, JT, and Riverside are quite strong as well.

	Rush, mainly because of GUP and MP. There's one album in each trilogy that I despise: The Lodger, Storm Watch, Flying Teapot, Larks, Out Of Myself, Signals, and Hot Rats.
	There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark...

	Here we have several well known album trilogies from various prog and prog-related folks. These are acknowledged to be trilogies in one way, shape or form, and are not simply three albums in a row from a band you happen to like (so, no, The Yes Album, Fragile and Close to the Edge are not a trilogy) You have your choice from the following 3 album sets: David Bowie Low Heroes The Lodger Jethro Tull Songs from the Wood Heavy Horses Storm Watch Gong Flying Teapot Angel's Egg You King Crimson Larks Tongue in Aspic Starless and Bible Black Red Riverside Rapid Eye Movement Out of Myself Second Life Syndrome Rush Moving Pictures Signals Grace Under Pressure Frank Zappa Hot Rats Waka/Jawaka The Grand Wazoo
