Enlightened Rogues by The Allman Brothers Band doesn't get much attention around here, but side two has a fantastic series of three. I would argue it is their best three in a row.

Blind Love -> Try It One More Time -> Just Ain't Easy

 

Disturbed

Indestructible
Inside the Fire
Deceiver

 

ELP

Karn Evil 9; 1st,2nd & 3rd Impressions

 

Great three-song run on a not-great album? Sounds like Bowie’s Let’s Dance to me...

 

Paul McCartney's LONDON TOWN is an OK album, but not really considered a classic, but the opening trio is pretty good:
London Town
Cafe On The Left Bank
I'm Carrying

 

Dim Light, Thick Smoke
Rainbow
California Day

Powerglide...NRPS

 

1975 - The Kinks - "Soap Opera" - (actually one of my personal favourites) -

Side Two:

3.) "You Make It All Worthwhile"
4.) "Ducks On The Wall"
5.) "(A) Face In The Crowd"

 

The album is all good but Magazine Real Life:

Definitive Gaze
My Tulpa
Shot By Both Sides

I am going to have to dig that album out because I do not even recall what "Sound Track" sounds like.

 

´
The first three tracks of Electric Music For The Mind & Body from Country Joe & The Fish.

The whole LP is great, of course. A real classic. Together with the Doors debut plus 'Velvet Underground & Nico' plus 'Safe As Milk' from Captain Beefheart plus 'After Bathing at Baxter's' from Jefferson Airplane one of my personal Top 5 albums of 1967.




Country Joe & The Fish "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine"

Country Joe & The Fish "Death Sound Blues"
