Great thread and great picks! Two nominations I haven't seen mentioned yet:
Kansas: Song for America/Masque/Leftoverture
Queen: Sheer Heart Attack/NatO/DatR
I think my vote for best among those mentioned so far would have to be Genesis: NC/F/SEbtP, though. A stunning achievement.

Though truth be told it was a seven-album streak of unbroken brilliance.
Byrds: Fifth Dimension, Younger than Yesterday, The Notorious Byrd Brothers
Strawbs: From the Witchwood, Grave New World, Bursting at the Seams
Procol Harum: Procol Harum, Shine on Brightly, A Salty Dog
Hawkwind: In Search of Space, Doremi Faso Latido, In the Hall of the Mountain Grill
Spirit: Spirit, The Family That Plays Together, Clear
Moody Blues: To Our Children's Children's Children, A Question of Balance, Every Good Boy Deserves Favor (almost any three run set will do)

Looking forward to my day in court.
And I choose to stretch the "unbroken" adjective and include Two Against Nature, but I can't argue with your list of three.

Happy with what I have to be happy with.
On quality grounds I agree, I just felt the long chronological gap that separates the last two albums from the first seven makes them separate somehow.

Thin Lizzy - Johnny The Fox, Jailbreak, Bad Reputation
Personally I'd go with:
Peter Gabriel
Peter Gabriel
Peter Gabriel
I haven't seen Led Zep mentioned...probably go with IV/Houses/Physical Graffiti
In Rock
Fireball
Machine Head
Thread closed
Alice Cooper -Love it to Death/ Killer/ School's Out/ Billion Dollar Babies
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
Revolver
Sgt Peppers
The White Album
Edit: I just noticed the OP's reference to "brilliance in prog" so hoping these get a pass as "proto-prog"
The Stones:
Beggar's Banquet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Although they're bookended by Satanic Majesty's and Exile. Tough to say with those boys.
