Magma - La Trilogie:
  1. Theusz Hamtaahk
  2. Wurdah Itah
  3. Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh

The Gong Radio Gnome and Residents Mole trilogies are also excellent, but compared to Magma all else pales into insignificance.

This is a very simple topic methinks because of one main reason:
Almost every progressive rock band (and almost every band in general) has one album where they get into their peak but still keep part of their older sound, then one album which is considered their masterpiece, and then another album right after in which they try to recreate their previous album but can't because its either impossible or they just don't have the inspiration.

Though not actually my faves from the band. By own meanings, I do consider it a 'TRILOGY'. Since they're three that have long epics. Somehow the same structure on three of them(not ths structure of the songs but the album).

In faves case:
Deep Purple: Burn
             Stormbringer
             Come Taste the Band
Whitesnake: Lovehunter
             Ready an' Willing
             Come an' Get It

Blue Oyster Cult had the three first albums ,featuring the debut , Tyranny & Mutation and the splendid Secret Treaties .The first 3 Mostly Autumn albums are quite obviously interconnected and different from the subsequent releases. The 3 La Maschera di Cera recordings fall into a whole. According to Mariusz Duda, the first 3 Riverside albums are part of a trilogy. Santana's jazzy guru period comprises Caravanserai, Welcome and Borboletta. The 3 Satellite albums seem united by a common thread. The 3 SFF albums are united as Collected Works.

A fine trilogy indeed. I'm going to have to chime in with The Black Mages (but I'm not sure if they're going to keep going with IV, V VI.... after their new one). And in the non-prog world, Helloween had a great trilogy with the keeper of the seven keys albums.

Am I the only one who interpreted "trilogy" as a piece of work with a modicum of cohesion?  Looks like some people are just listing three separate albums.  Confused
