crazy.
Best hip hop runs
Gang Starr:
Step in the Arena - Daily Operation - Hard to Earn - Moment of Truth
Public Enemy:
Yo, Bum Rush the Show - Nation of Millions - Fear of a Black Planet.
Also Doom (various pseudonyms)
Take Me To Your Leader - Vaudeville Villan - Madvilliany
Yeah I’m sure you could cobble together a solid run with his various alter-egos.
Great call on Gang Starr.
Outkast:
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzic | ATLiens | Aquemini
This can’t be topped.
I think that’s a genuine run, but I’m a bit shaky on the exact chronology of the various projects. You could add The Mouse and the Mask on the end, but I think the second Viktor Vaughan record gets in the way.
Portishead - Dummy, Portishead, Third
Depeche Mode - Music for the Masses, Violator, Songs of Faith and Devotion
can I do another one?
Steely Dan
Can’t Buy a Thrill all the way to Gaucho
Galaxie 500 - all three albums perfect
That was going to be my choice.
Crocodiles
Heaven Up Here
Porcupine
Ocean Rain
so great, why does nobody talk about steely dan
The Kinks - Face to Face, Something Else, Village Green, Arthur, Lola vs Powerman, Muswell Hillbillies.
Sinatra had a pretty good patch between 1955-58 that included In the Wee Small Hours, Songs For Swingin’ Lovers, Come Fly With Me, and Only the Lonly. I’d say Rufus Wainwright too with Poses, Want 1 and Want 2.
Pretty much bang on.
Girls against Boys
Venus Luxure No1 Baby/Cruise Yourself/House of GvsB
I would include the Smiths, but I’m not sure if Meat is Murder beats the winning full discography run? Like it has at least two 10/10 songs, but then Morrissey is out of tune…
Was gonna say Morrissey Solo, but I forgot about Kill Uncle so idk
I’d add Trust to that list. Stunning album.
Nick Drake in with 3 hits no misses
