    For the life of me, I don't understand the Springsteen choice. First of all that's a 7 album run. And It's not even his best 7 album run. I would have skipped Greeting from... and extended the list to Tunnel of Love. The best 5 album run is Born to Run - Born in the USA.

    Nice choice, but I'm not big into their first two, so Empires to Sparkle is the perfect 5.

    My personal fave period from my fave band is:
    Construction Time Again
    Some Great Reward
    Black Celebration
    Music for the Masses
    Violator

    Also love Deke Leonard's solo work; 'Iceberg' is in my Top 10.

    An “other” option for me would be Paul McCartney’s run from McCartney to Venus and Mars.

    AFAIC, Steely Dan's classic run through Aja beats them all.

    Also noteworthy, ZZ Top.

    There are many runs of 5+ excellent albums from jazz artists, but I won't go there.

    Definitely! :righton:

    If you've not any of Deke's books, I'd highly recommend them. He's the Bill Bryson of Rock and Roll! :)

    Monkees - More of the Monkees; Headquarters; Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones, LTD; Birds, Bees, Monkees and Head

    It is a great album, but I didn't include it because Van released Hard Nose the Highway (although it's not a bad album) in between Saint Dominic's and Veedon Fleece. He also released It's Too Late to Stop Now in between them as well, a fantastic live album.

    Yeah, I know, but I thought VF does bear a mention. Because it is so good.
