Other than on /mu/ I've never met a Pink Floyd fan that thinks Animals is better than The Wall. And /mu/ is notoriously contrarian about these sorts of things, especially since we all seem to hate Roger Waters for some reason.

Five Leaves Left, Bryter Layter, Pink Moon
there have been some godly trilogies desu, that Miles Davis streak is unbeatable IMO.
I've thought about this long and hard and made my decision.
Closest runner up is the Beatles, but I couldn't think of three consecutive albums that really outdid these three.
>Suffer
>No Control
>Against the Grain
>Talking Book
>Innervisions
>Fulfillingness' First Finale
>Songs in the Key of Life
Section 80, Good Kid Maad City, To Pimp A Butterfly
>>65546880
I can't argue any of these over another, they're all too good
>>65546880
I don't think Nick Drake should count, as those were his only three albums.
Black Sabbath albums are great, but it should be
S/T > Master of Reality > Vol. 4
Personally, I highly rate Meddle over animals, so Meddle > DSOTM > Wish You Were Here
Bowie spot on
Dylan spot on
Velvet spot on
I'm gonna throw out:
Led Zeppelin IV > Houses of The Holy > Physical Graffiti
>EVOL - Sister - Daydream Nation
>>65546436
I don't hate Roger Waters. I don't dislike the Wall either, but you have to really have shit taste if you think that anything on the Wall can lift a finger to the musicality on Animals. It's a great album but the whole rock-opera format restricted dave gilmour and rick wright's performances for the sake of making sure the story and lyrics were in the forefront, rather than all their previous albums where every aspect fit together organically.
It's just not a Pink Floyd album, it's a Roger Waters album with Pink Floyd and a bunch of really good studio musicians backing him.

There was a pretty good album between CTM and TSB that you're omitting.. The Flaming Lips have some truly great albums (Embryonic, The Soft Bulletin, Clouds Taste Metallic, Zaireeka, Heady Fwends.) but they never have been able to be consistent with their quality.. and honestly that's probably working out in their favor. These "trilogies" posted in this thread all seem to mark a creative peak for a band/artist that they'll never live up to. Talk Talk and Swans "trilogies" were wisely their closers

I love of Montreal, but Sunlandic is easily one of their worst. Even doing Hissing Fauna ->Skeletal Lamping -> False Priest would've been stronger
I'd argue that 2nd half of Bedside Dram -> Gay Parade -> Coquelicot is their strongest run of albums, but that discounts the weak first half of Bedside.

3.(tie) The Yes Album
4. Tormato
5. Relayer
6. Drama
7. Topographical Oceans
blah blah blah who cares
>>65552455
cant wait for his next album
>>65554465
Ctte and The Yes album are tied for 1st so i'll just put them as both 1st and 2nd, otherwise
3. Relayer
4. Going for the One
5. Fragile
6. s/t
7. 90125
While Drama isn't as great as their other albums, i'm surprised how often it gets overlooked; Tempus Fugit is better than Owner of a Lonely Heart imo, but 90125 is the better album overall.
>>65546436
>>65546335
You're not serious right? "Animals is better than the Wall" is like the most common opinion there is among Pink Floyd fans. Its one of the few /mu/ opinions thats not contested or contrarian
>>65548124
>Gong Radio Gnome Invisible Trilogy
I think Camembert Electrique is better than any of the trilogy individually, if you count Continental Circus as being recorded after camembert (i don't, partially because it was a soundtrack, partially because it was recorded BEFORE Camembert Electrique) CC stands on its own pretty damn well and I think Camembert Electrique, Continental Circus, and the Flying Teapot (or my choice, CE, FT, and Angel's Egg) are better than the trilogy.

As a counter argument I'd like you to listen to Tormato with the idea that its a psych album, rather than symphonic prog

>inb4 beatles
>>65554799
Yes uses a weird synth effect in Tormato that sounds like a spaceship and then the guitar tries to mimic it, then later they try to mesh those sounds and its perfect. Yes may have slowly run out of good melodic ideas but their attempts at texture were incredible sometimes.

>>65553862
signed sealed and delivered
half the fucking music thats came out since might as well not've been made
Tonight I went from listening to The Glowing Man on my Sennheiser earbuds to my reliable Grado headphones (with one incredibly annoying cord), and what a world of difference it makes, even to the sober mind (having rolled my last spliff yesterday, I swear to no smoking beforehand, as I am wont to do with Swans in particular).
Melodically, harmonically, texturally, structurally, this is by far the most complex Swans album to date, as the more abstract sections of Piece of the Sky & The Seer (re dulcimers and bagpipe collages), Toussaint (re gory guitar gashes) only hinted at. Some call this lighter than the previous two albums, and thanks to the prominence of major chords, it does have levity otherwise lacking in the first two of the trilogy that The Glowing Man completes.
Case in point: listen to the reworking, in The Glowing Man, of the intro to Bring the Sun. Whereas BTS had two major changes sonically, that I remember, the referring section in TGM has maybe seven or eight distinct harmonic transitions, some of which I admit to not hearing immediately on my earbuds.
The epics here seem to function in fits and starts, like death throes or fever dreams, whereas those on The Seer are all about he slow buildup and slow decay of energy, and those on To Be Kind are about sustaining energy.

Their albums from the late 80s still contain some goofy/kitschy tracks.
