It's never been repeated here (Aussie artists) although INXS came close.

"Virtual World"
"Make It 'Til Monday"

The Black Crowes from A Southern Harmony & Musical Companion:

"Black Moon Creeping"
"No Speak No Slave"
"My Morning Song"

 

Excellent choice on the Crowes. Even though that entire album kicks from start to finish...

 

2 more from Traffic. More obscure, but I actually prefer both of these 3-song runs...

When The Eagle Fies... Dream Gerrard -> Graveyard People -> Walking In The Wind
Far From Home... Far From Home -> Nowhere Is Their Freedom -> Holy Ground

Like I said, obscure.

 

Prefab Sprout: Andromeda Heights has a trio of similar sounding songs, which along with the title track are the clear standouts for me.

The Mystery Of Love
Life's A Miracle
Anne Marie

 

Stone Roses

I Wanna Be Adored
She Bangs The Drums
Waterfall

 

Tall Blonde Helicopter and Play! 2 fantastic albums! Good taste.

Definitely not my fave album but if there's a better three song sequence than this I haven't heard it:

Breathe
On The Run
Time

...from Dark Side Of The Moon. Like I needed to tell you that.

 

Hard headed woman
Trouble
Dixieland rock

Rock'n'roll, blues, pop, r&b with a touch of New Orleans sound: "King Creole" (1958) never reached the #1 spot but what a gem it was (and still is!)

 

Velvet Green
The Whistler
Pibroch (Cap In Hand)

Jethro Tull, Songs From the Wood
