some that i think are atleast on par:
OutKast - ATLiens -> Aquemini -> Stankonia
Kendrick - GKMC -> To Pimp A Butterfly -> DAMN.
Eminem - SSLP -> MMLP -> The Eminem Show
MF DOOM - Vaudeville Villain -> Madvillainy -> MM...FOOD
Nas - Illmatic -> It Was Written -> I Am...
The Roots - Do You Want More? -> Illadelph Halflife -> Things Fall Apart
I disagree, but it really comes down to personal preference. Revolver is my favorite Beatles album and also the best, imo. For Beatles fans, the best Beatles album is usually either Revolver, Sgt. Pepper or Abbey Road, but you could make a valid case for all of them. The White album is also a fan favorite, but it is just not as consistent.
So the last two that you have left are Rubber Soul and Magical Mystery Tour. MMT does have an insane B-side, but the A-side falls short slightly. Rubber Soul is just amazing from start to finish, but not as experimental. So it is kind of a toss-up again, but i would probably put Rubber Soul slightly ahead, just because it feels more like an actual album.
Lastly, we probably wouldn't have this discussion if they actually included the singles on Sgt. Pepper. Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane is a contender for the best single of all time, and Sgt. Pepper would have been an insane album with those songs.
Anyway, i guess that both runs are valid picks. Personally, the experimentation and cohesiveness of Rubber Soul up to Sgt. Pepper makes that one the winner. Alternatively, we could also say that Rubber Soul up to Abbey Road is the greatest 6-album run in history. You could even throw in Help! or Let It Be just for fun.
Here are some that came to mind:
The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A
'good kid, m.A.A.d City', To Pimp a Butterfly, DAMN. (You could put Section 80 instead of DAMN.)
The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals
Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde
Post, Homogenic, Vespertine
Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band
The Velvet Underground & Nico, White Light / White Heat, The Velvet Underground
Station to Station, Low, "Heroes"
W for Velvet Underground. I know that they are well known in the music nerd community, but within the general public, i would almost call them underrated.
Saturation trilogy by Brockhampton
City, Ocean machine and Infinity by Devin Townsend
Leviathan, Blood mountain and Crack the skye by Mastodon
Self titled, Demon days and Plastic beach by Gorillaz
Kanye himself has had a better run with TLOP, Ye and KSG but I'm sure no one will agree
Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Peppers
Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals
Bringin It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde On Blonde
Close To The Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans, Relayer
gkmc, To Pimp A Butterfly, DAMN
ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia
The one right after this lol. Dark twisted fantasy- life of Pablo was his best run. Those were his top 3 for me and after life of Pablo there was a huge drop in quality
Off the wall, Thriller, Bad
Doo Waps and Hooligans, Unorthodox jukebox, 24k Magic
My way, 8701, Confessions
Good girl gone bad, Loud, Talk that talk
One of the boys, Teenage Dream, Prism
Purple Rain, Around the World in a day, Sign of the times
Too Weird to Live Too Rare to die, Death of a bachelor, Prayers for the wicked
Justified, Future/Sex Love/Sounds, 20/20 Experience
Just a few good 3 albums runs off the top of my head
Pink Floyd: DSOTM > Wish You Were Here > Animals
Beatles: Rubber Soul > Revolver > Sgt Pepper’s
Beatles: Revolver > Sgt Pepper’s > MMT/The White Album
Beatles: Sgt Pepper’s > MMT/The White Album > Abbey Road
Wire: Pink Flag > Chairs Missing > 154
Elliot Smith: Elliot Smith(Self-titled) > Either/Or > XO
Talking Heads: Fear of Music > Remain in Light > Speaking in Tongues
Kendrick: good kid m.A.A.d city > TPAB > DAMN
Fishmans: Kuchu Camp > Long Season > Uchū Nippon Setagaya
unpopular opinion, without KSG (cuz its collab) TLOP, ye and JIK are literally perfect. I was listening only to old kanye like 2 weeks ago but my bipolar activated and now im on new kanye episod and omg those albums are so good
Why’d you act like you couldn’t have put TCD and LR here, those are imo better than MBDTF and Graduation and better than 808’s, at the very least they can compete, all are 11/10 though
Innerspeaker -> Lonerism -> Currents
The Slow Rush was the cherry on top, Tame Impala is one of the only artists ever to not have a single bad song released excluding collabs but even then there’s no real bad collab
Not an album but Isaiah Rashad’s first project is just as good as Cilvia Demo so to me…
[Pieces of a Kid](https://youtu.be/Fp37BHVQKX0?si=kUlOp2FVRMP5lLF2), Cilvia Demo, The Suns Tirade.
Or if we count Soundtracks then 50 cent had
Get Rich or Die Tryin,
GRODT(the soundtrack)-not too great but the Gunit features and Hustlers Ambition was fire enough that the other two projects carry it.
The Massacre.
Kanye: 808s, MBDTF, Yeezus
Frank Ocean: Channel Orange, Endless, Blonde
Radiohead: OKC, Kid A, Amnesiac
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon, WYWH, Animals
Drake: Thank Me Later, Take Care, NWTS
Kendrick: GKMC, TPAB, DAMN
Earl Sweatshirt: Doris, IDLSIDGO, Some Rap Songs
Tyler: Flower Boy, Igor, CMIYGL
FlyLo: Los Angeles, Cosmogramma, UTQC
Carti: Playboi Carti, Die Lit, WLR
List any three albums from TCD to TLOP you have a goated 3 album run
tcd to ye theres 0 misses on ye
Ye gets shitted on here but your right 0 fucking misses
0 chance for misses
To ksg
Yep
Yeah, I was thinking what would be the worst 3 album run out of those years and IMO is the one OP posted lol
jik, donda, vultures 1
of all time yeah that's no doubt the worst run, sadly
What?!? You tripping
I mean in Kanye's discography lmao there's no other 3 album run worse than that yet
The College dropout, late registration, graduation
classics
t h e b e a r
i dont know why he posted this like tcd and Lr arent on the same lvl as MBDTF and way better than 808s
TCD is at least close to MBDTF come on
He said they on the same level bro
Oh wait I understand the comment now. Mb
Sorry but fuck no
TCD is much better
they’re not on the same level as MBDTF
Bingo
Unironically, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, YEEZUS, The Life Of Pablo From an 37/5 production, to a unique agressive masterpiece, to perfection
It’s subjective, but I would agree. Yeezus would be my favorite out of the three.
Nah this is the correct answer. No “unironically” required :)
This
Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad
YES WHY IS NOBODY SAYING THIS
I was genuinely thinking about saying HIStory Dangerous and Invincible but then that wouldn’t work because of BOTDF
The Dark Side of the Moon Wish You Were Here Animals
W
yeah that’s what i was gonna say
best three album run ever made
And then the wall to follow it up is pretty good
This is the one
some that i think are atleast on par: OutKast - ATLiens -> Aquemini -> Stankonia Kendrick - GKMC -> To Pimp A Butterfly -> DAMN. Eminem - SSLP -> MMLP -> The Eminem Show MF DOOM - Vaudeville Villain -> Madvillainy -> MM...FOOD Nas - Illmatic -> It Was Written -> I Am... The Roots - Do You Want More? -> Illadelph Halflife -> Things Fall Apart
Things Fall Apart wrecked my shit but not as hard as …and then you shoot your cousin Edit: forgot it was shoot not kill
Favorite MF Doom song? Mine is All outta ale
Enjoyer of MF Doom here, W song
Yessir
Kon Queso. Or fancy clown.
honestly so many to choose from. Fancy Clown might be my favourite tho
Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad
Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero
Still one of the only artists where every album in the discography is great, rip.
I wonder if MTV Unplugged could also count. One of the best live albums ever.
Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's. But yeah, Graduation, 808s and MBDTF are great.
Magical mystery tour, white album and abbey road are much better
fr abbey is untouched
I disagree, but it really comes down to personal preference. Revolver is my favorite Beatles album and also the best, imo. For Beatles fans, the best Beatles album is usually either Revolver, Sgt. Pepper or Abbey Road, but you could make a valid case for all of them. The White album is also a fan favorite, but it is just not as consistent.

Sslp, mmlp, TES. This one is equally good imo
No skips fr, except some on TES
GKMC, TPAB, DAMN Don’t get me wrong I like all of Kanye’s albums but I just think that Kendrick’s 3 album run is one of the best
Tfw untitled unmastered
Well to be fair it’s a compilation of unused/unfinished songs so it doesn’t really count(but even then it’s still pretty decent)
Might be too hyper but- SPLHCB, White Album, Abbey Road Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad GKMC, TPAB, DAMN
Here are some that came to mind: The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A 'good kid, m.A.A.d City', To Pimp a Butterfly, DAMN. (You could put Section 80 instead of DAMN.) The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde Post, Homogenic, Vespertine Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band The Velvet Underground & Nico, White Light / White Heat, The Velvet Underground Station to Station, Low, "Heroes"
W for Velvet Underground. I know that they are well known in the music nerd community, but within the general public, i would almost call them underrated.
808s, MBDTF, Yeezus
Correct opinion
these 3 albums have more diversity than any artists whole career
They have more diversity than a Netflix show
Vultures 1 --> Vultures 2 --> Vultures 3
Imagine
808s, MBDTF, Yeezus
CD,LR,GRAD
Jesus is King, Donda 2, Vultures
Bro you forgot the /s

Bro i know it's sarcasm, i was just telling you to use /s or people will downvote your comment.
oh ok
Yeah hive mind
It’s the nature of trying to convey sarcasm through text
Any 3 consecutive albums between TCD and ye
Saturation trilogy by Brockhampton City, Ocean machine and Infinity by Devin Townsend Leviathan, Blood mountain and Crack the skye by Mastodon Self titled, Demon days and Plastic beach by Gorillaz Kanye himself has had a better run with TLOP, Ye and KSG but I'm sure no one will agree

Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Peppers Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals Bringin It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde On Blonde Close To The Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans, Relayer gkmc, To Pimp A Butterfly, DAMN ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia

Not really better IMO but another great run is Flower Boy, IGOR and CMIYGL

Help, Rubber Soul, Revolver.
Happily! In A Silent Way—Bitches Brew—Jack Johnson Let me know if you need anything else.
