Alice is a good one; Sabbath is a good one.

Re: better 4 album run…
Pantera from Cowboys to Trendkill is solid as shit.
But the answer is Metallica. Whether you start the four album run from Kill 'em All or Ride the Lightning.

Without any doubt my favourite run in thrash:

Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?
So Far, So Good... So What!
Rust in Peace

Most of those are mainly filler. Like AC/DC. Last great release was Grace Under Pressure.

That’s probably the order I listen to them. Maybe Animals at #1.

Re: better 4 album run…
I was going to put Floyd on my list, but I am so sick of 'Dark Side Of The Moon' and 'The Wall' I couldn't do it. I still listen to 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Animals' often though. Those two are my faves.DemonFilth2001 wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 10:27 amThat’s probably the order I listen to them. Maybe Animals at #1.

You think? I love AC/DC fan but I don’t think they would be a desert island band for me. Plenty of untouchables listed on here.

Just re-read the thread title/post and I wouldn’t necessarily say “better” than the AC/DC run, but still great. Powerage!

So far nothing has changed my mind.
Van Halen might come closest, but VH1 is about half not good.
And VH2 is lackluster as an album

Guns n Roses? I know it was all downhill after Appetite but you gotta admit, their 4 albums (Appetite, Lies, Illusions I and II) have lasted a lifetime.
Poison's first 4 are all solid
Bon Jovi (Slippery New Jersey, Keep the Faith, These Days)

What really blows my mind about the 70's is that artists and bands were putting out classic albums like this that each YEAR! Starting in the 80's, it became common to get a new record every other year or longer. That's amazing to see so many great songs in such a short period of time.
