CRIMSO! A lineup that couldn't do no wrong. Wetton once quipped that he could have been in "that band for another 20 years."

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) I'll give you Camel though

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

Crimson > Zappa > Gong
Would Oldfield - Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Incantations fit the criteria?

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

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

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. |
Neither of you are very clear on the concept of this poll, are you? |
None of those in the poll are really trilogies in any way, so what's the difference?

I'm not that keen on Wish You Were Here, to be honest. The other two albums I do really like.
I just like MA and Pendragon a lot. Great bands. |

Gong's is. There's a whole story arc, and it's not too hard to make it out.

Plus Riverside sells their first 3 albums as the Reality Dream Trilogy on their website. So that series isn't contrived.
Though i'm not sure why anyone is picking apart specific choices in a poll. "Why is it missing my favorite one and have one i dislike/disagree with?".
Voted Riverside because I can.

There is a difference, you simply can't grasp it. Do some research. Read a book. Go on the internet. They are considered trilogies in one way or another by the bands themselves or by critics. If you'd like, go ahead and make a separate poll for the five you listed. The vast majority will vote for Genesis because the others you listed just aren't on the same level. I also predict Camel will come in a distant second. Of the other three, I'm not sure you'd even vote for one.

Great poll Dark Elf of 'genuine' trilogies. In the end I went for Rush - such a great period in the band's history.
