Pink Floyd seems to have remembered their 30th for DSotM…here’s their official site. This link is definitely a keeper; lots of lyrics, song play, and stats, facts and info on the 30th anniversary, not to mention their other albums. I’m listening to “Sheep” while I’m typing this…have your flash player up to date though…
Very Cool.
I’m celebrating…
Often overlooked, but I’ll nominate Rod stewart’s “Every Picture Tells a Story” and “Never a Dull Moment”
You could stretch the Dead’s best back one more album and the run would be:
Live Dead (1970)
Workingman’s Dead (1970)
American Beauty (1971)
Europe 72 (1972)
Wake of the Flood (1973)
Mars Hotel (1974)
Blues for Allah (1975)
Things came to a screeching halt with Steal Your Money…er…Steal Your Face
This is simple;
The Rolling Stones in order:
“Begger’s Banquet”
“Let it Bleed”
“Sticky Fingers”
“Exile on Main Street”
No other band or solo artist has had a run like this. Critically acclaimed, platinum selling, the 4 best albums by the best R&R band in the world.
I’m surprised I gotta tell you this.
Iron Maiden:
Number of the Beast
Piece of Mind
Powerslave
(and maybe even Live After Death which is a live album)
Savatage:
Handful of Rain
Dead Winter Dead
Wake of Magellan
Poets and Madmen
Heh, good one…new meaning to the checkered flag on the album cover of Panorama.
Jill Sobule: Happy Town/Pink Pearl
Led Zeppelin: I II III IV
Cheryl Wheeler: Mrs. Pinocci’s Guitar/Sylvia Hotel
New Order: Low-Life/Brotherhood
John Wesley Harding: It Happened One Night/Here Comes the Groom
Tom Waits: Swordfishtrombones/Rain Dogs
Greg Brown: In the Dark With You/One More Goodnight Kiss
and I totally have to echo all of ** hazel-rah**'s selections too.
I second New & Improved Scott’s nomination of Ten and Vs. and also nominate Binaural and Riot Act, also by Pearl Jam.
Led Zep - I II III IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti
Beatles - Rubber soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road
Take your Pick
J. Giles Band: J. Giles Band and The Morning After
Steely Dan: Can’t Buy a Thrill and Countdown to Ecstasy
Nightwish: Angels Fall First and Oceanborn
Opeth: Deliverance and Damnation
Therion: Deggial and Secret of the Runes
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band:
“Born To Run” and “Darkness on The Edge of Town”
Jimmy Buffett’s “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes” followed by “Son of a Son of a Sailor”.
Beck: Odelay/Mutations/Midnite Vultures
Bringing It All Back Home - 1965
Highway 61 Revisited - 1965
Blonde on Blonde - 1966
Sorry, but it don’t get better than that, folks. 
Sting - The Dream of The Blue Turtles, Nothing Like The Sun, The Soul Cages, Mercury Falling, Brand New Day. Basically everything that has come from Sting-Solo has been good.
Tool: Undertow and Aenima
Nine Inch Nails: Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral
Hell yeah! And he followed that with the double live album “Wish You Were Here” and that pretty much encapsulates the best of Buffett.
I don’t believe the Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Californication and *By the Way have been mentioned yet.
they made Magic Mystery Tour, the white album and Yellow Submarine between Sgt Pepper’s and Abbey Road
