sorry if this thread has been down before. we all know the berlin trilogy by david bowie, but can you give us and explain why examples of three albums in a row with a common link of course: king crimson: discipline, beat, three of a perfect pair but i go with the cure: fait, seventeen seconds and pornography, same cold wave feeling i find a real english flavor in genesis: nursery crime, foxtrot and selling england by the pounds and it's obvious to me: the stranglers: black and white/ the raven/ meninblack, for this main theme of course. What a great band they were.
Blur the Britop Trilogy Modern Life is Rubbish Parklife The Great Escape Before this they released the baggy/shoegaze dubut Leisure and after went onto an American lofi influenced sound on their self-titled Blur.
Tull's folk rock trilogy, SFTW, Heavy Horses and Storm watch. Los Lobos psych trilogy: Kiko, Colossal Head, This Time
Tom Waits' '80s Island Records trilogy is pretty killer. Swordfishtrombones Rain Dogs Franks Wild Years All represented on his live album Big Time. Marked a serious change in direction for him.
Zappa' Hot Rats 'trilogy' includes Burnt Weenie and Weasels. They all have instrumental music from the same period of time. The Rats box shows some music even showed up on Chunga's
Time Out of Mind Love and Theft Modern Times* * - I don't think this one is up to snuff with the other two, but most people disagree with me. It's a false trilogy, but it's how they've come to be regarded.
Not sure if it counts but the Kinks have the very British (but not exclusively so) trilogy of - Something Else By.... - ... Are The Village Green Preservation Society - Arthur (or the decline and fall of the British Empire)
Grave Digger Tunes Of War (1996) Knights Of The Cross (1998) Excalibur (1999) (Considered to be the Medieval Trilogy... First is about William Wallace and Scotland's fight for freedom, the second is about the Holy Crusades and the third is about the Arthurian Legends.) Also, in 2010, they released a 2nd album about the history of Scotland called The Clans Will Rise Again and, in 2020, they released a 3rd album about Scotland called Fields Of Blood. So, the 3 albums about the history of Scotland are somewhat a Trilogy on their own also.
The Talking Heads with Brian Eno as producer trilogy: More Songs About Buildings and Food, Fear of music, and Remain in Light.
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra (1974), Rubycon & Ricochet (both 1975). Not an official trilogy, but often regarded as such by fans. Regards, Dave
Paul McCartney - The George Martin trilogy Tug of War Pipes of Peace Give My Regards to Broad Street Deep Purple - The Mark I Years Shades of Deep Purple Book of Taliesyn Deep Purple Rolling Stones - The Mid 60s, Self-Written Pop trilogy Aftermath Between the Buttons Their Satanic Majesties Kiss - The First Three Kiss Hotter Than Hell Dressed to Kill Kiss - The Ones Between Alive and Alive II Destroyer Rock And Roll Over Love Gun
All involving Robert Fripp, this was supposed to be a "loose trilogy of sorts": Peter Gabriel - s/t (Scratch) Robert Fripp - Exposure Daryl Hall - Sacred Songs
And Petty's Full Moon Fever would be the middle entry to complete a trilogy with the Wilburys. Regards, Dave
I can't explain, but Rubber Soul (US) Yesterday & Today Revolver (US) Perhaps it conveys an alternate 'Expanded Edition' of what would have been a double UK LP.
Of course Bowie had another series of trilogies. The letter 'o' trilogies. Space Oddity (or David Bowie, if you prefer) Man Who Sold The World Hunky Dory Then he gave that idea a little break until Diamond Dogs Young Americans Station to Station And then Low Heroes Lodger He kind of lost it after Scary Monsters... so that was the end of the letter 'o' trilogies until his final letter 'o' trilogy starting with 'Tonight'. Astute Bowie fans will quickly work out what those are. He thought the letter 'O' had a special significance, which I wont go into here for obvious reasons.
I really hate the “Berlin trilogy” title considering the first one was mainly recorded in France and Lodger was recorded in Switzerland mixed in New York
