    Sonny Rollins did about 15 albums as a leader in 1956-58 and 10 or 12 more as a sideman. The're not all consistently great, but some of them are stone cold classics IMHO and the overall level of playing and invention is extraordinary.

    Bit of an obvious choice (for me anyway) but I go with Bob, Neil, Kinks, Stones and Bowie. Someone above has gone for Van run which is a good shout as well.

    Predictable list. But out of those options, I'd choose Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.

    A compelling argument can be made for pretty much every option on this list. My five picks were Neil, Stones, Radiohead, Sabbath and Springsteen. Apologies if these two omissions from the list have already been mentioned but, in addition to the poll options and some excellent suggestions contained in this thread, I'd add:

    Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
    Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
    You're Gonna Get It
    Damn the Torpedoes
    Hard Promises
    Long After Dark


    John Mellencamp
    Uh-Huh
    Scarecrow
    The Lonesome Jubilee
    Big Daddy
    Whenever We Wanted

    Here's my favorite solid run of albums, ever:

    [​IMG]
    If all I had to listen to were the first 7 Simple Minds album, I'd be very happy.

    But Kraftwerk were amazing for this run:
    [​IMG]
    Rpxy Music were groundbreaking for the first 4 albums:
    [​IMG]
    Too bad about "Siren."
    Elvis Costello + The Attractions also had 4 stone classics in a row:
    [​IMG]
    Too bad about "Almost Blue," because "Imperial Bedroom" was amazing.

    For me, it's defenitely Led Zeppelin's run of albums.

    Only Kiss' run of albums from 1974-1985 would be higher on the "return visits list".
