Sequences of great/classic al***s
Posted by: Mike Hughes on 23 April 2004
Just a thought that keeps nagging away at me for no real reason other than... well, who knows what but I guess I'm looking for enlightenment and the opportunity to embark on a few voyages of discovery and also, when I play this game, it's amazing how many great artists don't really have a sequence of truly great albums
Name your favourite sequences of albums by artists where every one could be described as great/classic e.g. I would have to start with Dylan from the second album through to Blonde on Blonde (can't wait for the arguments on that one).
Now what would the selection be for Joni, The Stones, Beatles etc?
Away you go!!!

I agree with many of the above; especially The Cure, Chameleons and Bunnymen, oh and Talking Heads and Bowie (though there could be some debate about where his classic albums start and end).
My contribution
Pawn Hearts/Godbluff/Still Life by Van der Graaf Generator.

PS Shouldn't the XTC run start a little earlier with Drums and Wires, Black Sea and English Settlement?
