Am I the only person who thinks that Zappa never really produced a BRILLIANT album? I own about fifteen of his but they all have their flaws, to my ears.

Repitition often annoys, however..

Rush: Caress of Steel - Grace under Pressure

Genesis - Trespass - Duke

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

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??

2. Dawn
3. Ocean
4. Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes
5. Colours
6. Planets
7. Time to Turn

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.

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

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

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.

meaning your answers were not answers to the question. You gave the fanboy answer instead of thinking about it. Of course you may have thought about the fanboy answer, but that isn't the same thing.

by the way, the 4 pack by supertramp is another one of those awesome strings. The only dubious one would be parts of Crisis. But holy cow what a 4 in a row that is.

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....

That's fine you can post the "here are all the albums I own" if you want. But, the Kinks have like 10 good songs, not 31 good albums. And there are holes all over the other 2 lists. If you can't take the heat maybe you shouldn't post.

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.
