no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
The longest run of really good (including many excellent) studio albums belongs to Frank Zappa: Freak Out (1966) -> Civilization Phaze III (1994). IMO, not a single bad album during those 28 years.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
For Sabbath, I'd include Technical Ecstasy (their proggiest album for sure)

My Sabbath run would be the six albums from debut to Sabotage.
Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die were major bumps in the road. They were back on form again though with Dio on Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules.
Quite honestly I think Ozzy should have left after Sabotage thus precipitating the change in direction that came with Dio and Heaven & Hell.
I can only go Nursery Cryme to Wind & Wuthering for Genesis (6).
I counted off nine for Bob Dylan (that's probably close to the most for me) - debut through Nashville Skyline.
I had two runs of seven for Neil Young (Everybody Knows through Zuma; Freedom through Silver & Gold), though I guess some people might count his Crazy Horse albums to be in a different category from his solo albums.
I had seven for King Crimson (Larks Tongues through Thrak).
Newer bands pose some issues, because I've found that several newer bands that I like don't have any albums that I don't think are at least in the "very good" category. However, they definitely have fewer (if any) "A" caliber albums for me than the older bands.

Did he change his name after lifting one too many electric keyboards in the '70s?
But yeah, gotta agree, particularly about Herbie and Wayne's '60s albums; all gems! Unless you hate jazz.
Ditto.
As for Gentle Giant, I can't include their debut, but from AtT through Interview they were practically flawless.

Yeah, but they're not live albums in the sense that we usually think of, and it's generally new material, not "here's stuff from our studio albums, live!"
I know I'll get killed for this but I nominate The Flower Kings: Retropolis to Desolation Rose.
That's eleven in a row. (The first one didn't do it for me. After that - I love it all.)
XTC from Drums And Wires to Apple Venus. (That's nine in a row, not counting the Dukes Of Stratosphere records.)
I think all eight Led Zeppelin albums are terrific.
If you exclude the singer/songwriter and worship releases Neal Morse has a nice eight album run going on right now: Testimony to The Grand Experiment.
Yes and Genesis could "only" muster up six in a row (The Yes Album to Going For The One and Nursery Cryme to Wind & Wuthering respectively.)
The Prog Corner
Wow, I forgot Zeppelin. All 8 fit the criteria for me.
Also, I'd put the first 9 can albums in there. Granted, those last three aren't on the level of the first 6, but for me they still reach "very good." level. Especially Saw Delight, which I've always thought was really good.
I'll agree with XTC!!
I was wondering when Led Zeppelin would crop up. I'm another who thinks their legacy as pretty spectacular.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.
