I agree that Genesis, King Crimson and Pink Floyd achieved 4 or 5 great records in a row.
Supertramp:
Crime of the Century
Crisis? What crisis?
Even in the quietest moments
Breakfast in America
For Non-Prog: The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and, above all, The Beatles.

It would probably save you time if you just put links to the discogrophy of all the bands you like.

I think these Pink Floyd albums are more generally accepted as an unbroken chain of complete masterpieces :
Meddle
The dark side of the moon
Wish you were here
Animals
The Wall

Uhh, Pink Floyd...
From the Piper up to the Wall ( The Wall not being anything interesting musically, but conceptually really worth a glance or two ).
And King Crimson... Everything. Even the few radio albums inbetween the first and the present great prog phase are not too bad.

That's 14. I've deliberately
left out film scores and Green Desert, which came out later in the
eighties, not in 1973. And I guess you could continue the list with
White Eagle, Hyperborea and Le Parc.

Electronic Meditation -> Atem  zzz....! (Although Phaedra -> Logos  )
How about ELOY??

I would even agree with that if you were listing yes and magnification as the ones that broke the string, but then I remember about 6 cup coasters in a row that came out after Drama.

There really is not a bad track on it. So bravo for Trespass  ! |
Just to make it clear, I like these records from KC and Genesis etc...
Also, the 4 sides live version of 3 sides live is a tremendous record. The addition of the old Steve Hackett days along with versions of the "best of abacab" that are WAY better than the ones on the studio version make it a must have (aside from a boorish version of Turn in On). I can't for the life of me figure out why that isn't THE ONLY version.
Also, I love Duke...don't have to sell it to me. The opening and ending pieces are some of my favorite moments in Prog music. A lot of the stuff between is actually pretty good too if you don't try and force it to be Suppers Ready.

Okay, if you put it that way: I agree.

The JT string is way longer if we give Passion Play the nod.
Also, it's actually no contest. Frank Zappa has hands down the longest streak(s). Anyone who is brave enough to put out 2, 3 or even 4 or 5 albums a year for as long as he did is in a class all to himself. A lot of it is derivative, but most of it is amazingly original. Since someone would most likely defend almost everything he did from 1968->Tinsletown Rebellion the actual number of records is staggering.

I think Rush has the greatese string of awesome records. Going from 2112 through Power Windows (being a streak of 8 [not including live albums]). Runner up has to be Yes with their self titled debut through Relayer (being a streak of 7 records). King Crimson did pretty damn good also. But they fell out of favor with meeself on '82s Beat album. That just sucks IMO.
