Dude, I understand taste is subjective, but I don’t think even the members of Loverboy’s mothers would try to argue they had a string of 8 “great” albums.
I’m not not even sure they had one great album in a row.
But they were lovin every minute of it! 
Well, I didn’t want to come right out and say it…
Win.
I think it’s time to right a decades-old wrong and actually buy Pendulum. I never picked it up because I heard way back when that it wasn’t as good as the other CCR albums. I can get it from iTunes for $5.99 so guess what I’ll be listening to tonight? Hey Tonight!
I’m not sure the member of Loverboy themselves would make this argument.

OK, I’ll play, but as previously mentioned The Beatles win this category hands down.
Elton John had a very good run in the 70s with:
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
And now I see he was already mentioned back in post 47. Apologies.
I was going to do this one, but I might have left off Outlandos. I love it, but in my mind it’s the weakest of the albums.
I think Outlandos is top 2. Synchronicity’s my vote for hands-down worst. Yuppie music with whiny lyrics. Though I consider them much better as a singles band anyway - lot of filler on their albums.
I dunno, I personally find Ghost in the Machine to be the least interesting and the one where Sting seems to dominate more than on any of the other four albums.
Friends is the reasons I left off the earlier albums based on the OP’s premise of “streaks”. And you are correct about how “stronger” they (Elton, John, Tumbleweed Connection and 17-11-70) are compared to the later stuff, but again, I went by the streak. And the exclusion of Here and There was just a complete brain fart.
Oh wow. I agree that “Mother” sucks, but there are some excellent tracks on Synchronicity. “O My God” is a reworking of a early Police song - “Three O’Clock Shot,” and “Miss Gradenko” is one of my favorite Copeland songs. Side 2 might be the strongest album side of any Police record (Reggatta De Blanc, Side 1 is probably my favorite). Of course if you have Synchronicity on tape or CD, you also have the excellent “Murder By Numbers” - that should have been the album track and “Mother” could have been the bonus track.
Outlandos could do without “Hole In My Life” and “Masoko Tango.”
I don’t know - I always found the music on Synchronicity really bland (never got the love for “Every Breath You Take”) and the lyrics worse. “O my god you take the biscuit treating me this way” says as much about Sting’s self-involvement as “King of Pain” (never trust millionaire rock stars when they talk about their souls being black spots on the sun). “Miss Gradenko” is a highlight, as is “Synchronicity II”, but the rest makes me think of the kind of album James Spader’s character from Pretty in Pink would have on his stereo.
I always think of Ghost as the death knell of the band, for that very reason. I’ve heard the demos that Sting brought to Monserrat and they sound exactly the same as the final tracks - I think this is where Copeland said, “I’m not a session musician.” But Side 2 has “Secret Journey,” “Ωmegaman,” “Rehumanize Yourself,” and “Darkness” - Sting, Summers, Sting-Copeland, and Copeland compositions.
