iron maiden- self-titled, killers, number of the beast, piece of mind, powerslave, somewhere in time.

queensryche- ep, the warning, rage for order, operation mindcrime, empire.

judas priest- hell bent for leather, british steel, point of entry, screaming for venageance, defenders of the faith.

I don't think the Police ever released a bad studio album.

Outlandos d'Amour
Reggatta de Blanc
Zenyatta Mondatta
Ghost in the Machine
Synchronicity

And how could I omit the Who. They released nothing but excellence up until Keith Moon died.

Yes, that was a good run. I have all of them, and Outlandous is one of my favorite albums of all time.

REM

Some would include Document.


To me it's their best album and I was with them from the beginning.


You should see my 3yo sing Strange and dance around.

Yes, I just pulled a parent geek move.

I'm going to veer off the band topic and note that David Bowie is a streaky son of a bitch.


The Man Who Sold The World -> Aladdin Sane (four albums)

Station to Station -> Scary Monsters (5 Albums)

ETA: Actually some might throw Diamond Dogs and Young Americans in the middle to make it a continuous streak of original albums.

I'd even extend it one more to Signals.

Van Halen also had a nice run with:

Van Halen I (1978)
Van Halen II (1979)
Women and Children First (1980)
Fair Warning (1981)
Diver Down (1982)
1984

I also love Buffett from:

A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean -1973
Living & Dying in 3/4 Time -1974
A1A -1974
Havaña Daydreamin' -1976
Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes -1977
Son of a Son of a Sailor -1978

To me, everything after that is not really worth listening to except the occasional good song.

I am going to mention NOFX
they have eight albums in a row that went either gold or platinum without any commercial radio airplay or MTV videos to support them.

Kiss has also had a good run on albums back in the day.

Dylan from 63-69. He covered folk, rock, and country in that time. That's a big change in only a 6 year period.

63- Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
64- The Times They Are a-Changin
64- Another Side of Bob Dylan
65- Bringing It All Back Home
65- Hwy 61 Revisited
66- Blonde on Blonde
67- John Wesley Harding
69- Nashville Skyline
