Too many to post so just going to post one artist. Newy posted a lot of artists I would have picked but different albums. And strangely enough I do not get the later Talk Talk albums that everybody raves about. I think they are really boring compared to their earlier stuff.

Anyway

Neil Young
1) Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
2) After The Goldrush
3) Harvest

Neil Young
1) On The Beach
2) Tonight's The Night
3)Zuma

Neil Young
1)Freedom
2)Ragged Glory
3)Harvest Moon

Neil Young -3 Live albums in a row.
1)Time Fades Away....................Neil might not like it but its my favourite album by him
2) Live Rust
3)Weld

Could have done similar lists with Beatles, Dylan, Stones, Bowie, Steely Dan etc etc etc
