better 4 album run…

[killeverything]

I don't know about "better." That AC/DC run is untouchable.

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

I'd say the Ramones, at risk of inviting the "One good song and it just happens to be the hit" crew.

I thought about Ramones too, but I don't like 'Road To Ruin' as much as the first 3. It's great, but I don't listen to it as much.

[Van Ailin']

Michael Schenker Group
MSG
Assault Attack
Built To Destroy

Evolution
Departure
Escape
Frontiers

[Hellsinkey]

Accept
Restless and Wild
Balls to the wall
Metal Heart
Russian Roulette

I'd go from Breaker to Metal Heart, but RR is good too.

[DangerZone]

Black Sabbath - The Eternal Idol, Headless Cross, TYR, Cross Purposes

I thought about this one, too

EXCEPT... Dehumanizer's in there.

Forgot about that one.

[Love_Industry]

Metallica, Sabbath, VH and Cooper are all great choices.

Not mentioned yet: Queensryche: Warning to Empire.

A different choice of Depeche Mode: MFTM, Violator, Songs of Faith and Devotion, Ultra.

[SexxAtraxxion]

Springsteen:
Born to Run (1975)
Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978)
The River (1980)
Nebraska (1982)

Stevie Wonder:
Talking Book (1972)
Innervisions (1973)
Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974)
Songs in the Key of Life (1976)

Dirty Mind
Controversy
1999
Purple Rain
Around the World in a Day
Parade
Sign o' the Times

And it could start with the s/t if that b-side was a little less ballady.

[Hellbound]

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.

[jens]

Without any doubt my favourite run in thrash:

Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!
Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?
So Far, So Good... So What!
Rust in Peace

[Love_Industry]

Power Windows
Hold Your Fire
Roll the Bones
Presto

I stand by it.

I never liked Power Windows, but replace it with Counterparts and you have a solid run.
I'd also add the underrated Test For Echo, better than HYF if you ask me.

[whiteowl yesterday]

some good answers.

[Anthrax442]

Dark Side of the Moon
Wish You Were Here
Animals
The Wall

I don't think it'll be popular here, but this is probably the correct answer.

[GreatWhiteSnake]

Aerosmith-Rocks, KISS is Shiite...

[soulonfire]

Saxon: Wheels through Power & the Glory
The Cure: Head on the Door through Wish
Rainbow: Rainbow through Down to Earth
First four Foreigner albums

[SW]

L.A.Guns
Cocked & Loaded

Most of those are mainly filler. Like AC/DC. Last great release was Grace Under Pressure. Then a few good tunes surrounded by junk.

[Love_Industry]

Dark Side of the Moon
Wish You Were Here
Animals
The Wall

Yes it's an amazing run. Took me a while to get Animals but it's almost as good as the others.

The wall

Dark Side

That’s probably the order I listen to them. Maybe Animals at #1. Dark Side, in particular, has just been played to death.

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.

[Nate S Axel]

VH.

Van Halen They hold up to Metallica on the 4 album run.
I
II
Women And Children First
Fair Warning

That's my vote.

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.

[WentEast]

Scorps….

Lovedrive
Animal Magnetism
Blackout
Love At First Sting

Blackout tho is best IMO.

[WentEast]

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

[DangerZone]

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

[DonJuanDeMarco]

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)

[sirthx2]

MJ:

Off the Wall
Thriller
Bad
Dangerous

[sirthx2]

And how about this fucking run:

Elton John (1970)
Tumbleweed Connection (1970)
Madman Across the Water (1971)
Honky Château (1972)
Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player (1973)
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973)
Caribou (1974)
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (1975)

I'm more of a Billy guy! Funny enough, his "best album" run starts right where Elton left off!!!
Turnstiles (1976)
The Stranger (1977)
52nd Street (1978)

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.
