Mentioned in other replys but I'll agree with

Duran Duran - debut/Rio/Ragged Tiger
Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express/Man Machine/Computerworld
Blondie - debut/Plastic Letters/Parallel Lines/(bonus) Eat To The Beat
Roxy Music the later days - Manifesto/Flesh & Blood/Avalon

Honorable Mention would go to DEVO - Are We Not Men/Duty Now/Freedom Of Choice
I say honorable mention because as big a fan as I am I really don't like Duty Now as much as I should.

Agree completely with the Roxy trinity (some hardcore Roxy fans would probably not agree, but these are all equally STELLAR records)....I have a different Devo trinity:

Freedom Of Choice, New Traditionalists, Oh No! It's...

<u>Roxy Music</u>:

Kinda hard to decide because they have three albums in a row at different times. Since the [i]Avalon[/i] years have already been mentioned, I'll go ahead and list the other timespan:

[i]Stranded[/i]
[i]Country Life[/i]
[i]Siren[/i]

It's incredible these albums came out in the early to mid 70s. It sounds a bit ahead of their time.


<u>David Bowie</u>:

[i]Station To Station[/i]
[i]Low[/i]
[i]Heroes[/i]


<u>Japan</u>:

New Romantic was created and perfected with these three albums.

[i]Quiet Life[/i]
[i]Gentlemen Take Polaroids[/i]
[i]Tin Drum[/i]


<u>Depeche Mode</u>:

[i]Construction Time Again[/i]
[i]Some Great Reward[/i]
[i]Black Celebration[/i]

The latter two should've comprised a double-album.

Gonna put one different on the same thing

Cure/ Seventeen seconds-Faith-Pornography

Police (someone already mention this)/ Outlandos-Regatta-Zenyatta

DM/Black celebration-MFTM-Violator

Ahhh... Led Zeppelin????? I like Hutter's combo which is in a row but LZ I, LZ IV and Physical Graffitti would have made a better combo if they were in a row.


New Order/ Republic- Get ready- Sirens... well that's sth different but I can also see the point in it. Those three albums are more connected than other New Order rows that you could think of.
