Longest unbroken chain of great records

I saw 3 at about 3 shows.. including a radio station benefit.. but it was so depressing without Greg, I decided 3 was enough.

well 6 because live albums aren't supposed to count.  My only problem (and I know you love ELP, so do I) Tarkus is only half a good album for me and Pictures has dead spots too.  I also don't care for a good bit of Carl Palmers bit on Works.  However, it's still a great run of tunage for sure.

Aha..But sorry mate, you've got it all wrong! I actually been thinking (have you?) and it is my serious opinion that these chains are unbroken with great records. So, little BOY, you have your answer! But if you can't handle it, maybee you should stop making threades. It might SAVE YOU SOME TIME.......One more thing boy, don't ever be rude to me again..ok? Don't mess with the devil, kid....
