Not because of my great three?Originally Posted by Scrotum Scissor
When I am in the vortex I try to remember that this is an observer dependent universe and it is only pointless is you decide it to be so. Alternatively, in the words of Chris Judge Smith in “Four Pairs” and immortalized by Peter Hammill:
All the wonders Man achieves
Emerge from cerebral tissue.
Chemical reactions' ebb and surge
Form that Thing that is you....
It's a sad philosophy,
But better sad than wrong.
Time for a puff...

I don't have and avoid at any cost the first one (a); however I love and cherish the third one (c).
Well, I couldn't possibly add Revolution By Night over Mirrors, (No Albert? No me!) but you could make one great album out of the 2 of them.
Honestly, I'd prefer to do a Cheat & Skip like some others here have done, and go with Spectres.
My next trilogy of Trilogies:
Black Sabbath
- Vol.4
- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
- Sabotage
This was a life-changing era for the little kid version of me, and I still go back to these albums over just about anything else that old. SBS and Sabotage especially... just fantastic, thought-provoking, daring, imaginative and crushingly heavy music. Two all time top 10 LPs for me.
Oingo Boingo
- Only A Lad
- Nothing To Fear
- Good For Your Soul
I would also include the Mystic Knights/ Forbidden Zone OST if I wasn't such a disgusting rule-follower. This period, before they lost bassist/ phenom Kerry Hatch and keyboardist/ future film score guy Richard Gibbs, was a creative peak for this amazing band. The chemistry was just right here, and was never the same afterwards. Some of the best music of the mistakenly-maligned 80s, right here my dudes.
Alice Cooper
- Killer
- School's Out
- Billion Dollar Babies
This was an equally life-changing era for the even littler kid version of me, mostly thanks to my older sister, whom I've sorely missed since we lost her very suddenly in 2017. Stacey was my musical guiding light during childhood: first the Partridge Family, then Elton, then Zeppelin, Yes & Genesis.. until the day I honed in on her LP collection and located a certain SNAKESKIN album cover. That was the end of that, little me was an Alice fan for life! Later, her boyfriend corrupted me even further with Sabbath, Nugent, etc. These 3 are by far, to this day, my favorite AC -- with this as probably my favorite track:

I just came across this, and I feel the need to post it for any Alice fans in the house.
Dennis Dunaway of the original Alice Cooper Band gives a great little interview here, talking about the early days and more.
What an articulate & easy-going guy, with such a agreeable, common sense outlook on things.

Both great choices, but in particular The Sabbs trio is unbeatable. I listen to these 3 records as one piece for more than 30 years, and still don't get tired of it. They contain all the metal I could ask for.
Gary Burton
- Ring
- Dreams So Real
- Passengers
Eberhard Weber
- The Colours Of Chloe
- Yellow Fields
- The Following Morning
and for good measure...
- Fluid Rustle
Frank Zappa
- Grand Wazoo
- Waka/Jawaka
- Over-Nite Sensation
and for good measure...
- Apostrophe
Eberhard Weber - Silent Feet ?
Yes, absolutely. I should've included Silent Feet in that Eberhard Weber run. It was released in '78.
i would make this 4 straight by adding Moving Pictures.
"She said you are the air I breathe
The life I love, the dream I weave."
Unevensong - Camel
I'll chime in with Gavin Harrison's history in England's two PT's
IN ABSENTIA
DEADWING
FEAR OF A BLANK PLANET
WHAT WE HAVE SOWN
TIGHTLY UNWOUND
SOMEONE HERE IS MISSING
Day dawns dark...it now numbers infinity.
never liked III so to me the run would be V, VI, VII with VII being the best of the 3.
"She said you are the air I breathe
The life I love, the dream I weave."
Unevensong - Camel
+1
"She said you are the air I breathe
The life I love, the dream I weave."
Unevensong - Camel
i'd add III. this was their classic period imo..
"She said you are the air I breathe
The life I love, the dream I weave."
Unevensong - Camel
Deep Purple:
Fireball
Machine Head
(skipping Passages and live album)
Who Do We... (have to include this having songs like Woman, Super, Smooth)
Yes:
Ctte
Tales
Relayer
"She said you are the air I breathe
The life I love, the dream I weave."
Unevensong - Camel
As long as ECM is running in this field...
Whenever I seem to be far away
Odyssey
After the rain
- Terje Rypdal
Good ones. Although not fitting neatly into a 3 LP stretch, the releases he did with Vitous and DeJohnette were among my favorites of his, especially 1979's Terje Rypdal / Miroslav Vitous / Jack DeJohnette (ECM). Atmospheric as heck and so dreamingly beautiful.
Dammit, did we miss this?
Mwandishi
Crossings
Sextant
ok mate. I'm going to whitewash you, since you asked for it
Crescent
A Love Supreme
The John Quartet Plays
Unless you give me some of how mundane of an album A Kind Of Blue is
Into Glory Ride
Hail To England
Sign Of the Hammer
For Deep Purple, one obvious other version would be : In Rock / Fireball / Machine Head,
but I would choose
Deep Purple (the album)
In Rock
Fireball
(Of course, there's a line-up change and the Concerto in the middle, but it's a great 3 studio album stretch.)
add Headhunters and Thrust for a 5 album stretch
if just 3 then I'd take Headhunters over Mwandishi
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
Yeah I listened to a lot of Headhunters back in the day. I'd have to include HH in my trio.
