Great album runs of 5 or more in a row

[Kristian]

D.A.D - From 'No Fuel...' to 'Everything Glows'

Every Airbourne album

And well the first 5 Guns n Roses albums if you count them like this: Appetite, Lies, Illusion 1, Illusion 2 and Spaghetti.

Skyline spoils the show for NFO. Its good but not up to the others. 

Agreed...still good though...but they hit the groove from Amber onwards 

[AlphaMale]

What about KISS?

S/T

Hotter Than Hell

Dressed To Kill

Destroyer

Rock And Roll Over

Love Gun

 

They lost me with the disco rock of Dynasty.

Kix (duh). S/T, Cool Kids, Midnight Dynamite, Blow My Fuse, Hotwire. They really can do no wrong.

Kings X (double duh). Into the Silent Planet, Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, Faith, Hope, Love, Self Titled, DogMan, Ear Candy, etc...

Enuff Z Nuff has at least 10 albums of worthy material, starting with the S/T, then Animals w/Human Intelligent, easily to and through 10, but easily could include Welcome To Blue Island and album 12 ? (question mark).

Stryper. Yellow and Black Attack, Soldiers Under Command, To Hell W/the Devil, In God We Trust, and the EPIC Against The Law.

Butch Walker/Floyds Funk Revival/Marvelous 3. Sure its a blend of names but mostly the same guys and from Creamy, to the 3 Marvie records to Butch's Left of Self Centered is a good run, and you could include the 2 Southgang records as that's still Butch, Jay and Slug and depending on how much appreciation you have for Butch you can go to present as he is brilliant.

 

I also think Metal Church, The Dwarves, Warrior Soul and Nelson fit the bill as well.

 

I am sure there are many more.

As much as I love Kix, their first 2 albums are not great.

And "In God We Trust" was TRASH.

I adore those first 2 Kix records honestly, their discography is almost in order of favorites, literally with Midnight at 3 and Blow at 4, Hotwire 5 (but could bundle with Show business, but those first 4, minus Don't Close Your Eyes (that one never did much for me, OK song, but quite skippable) are quintessential.

In God We Trust was great. I don't understand the hate.

I like 'In god we trust' as much as any of their albums, but surely even the most seasoned Stryper fan acknowledges that there's at least as many (far more, imo) weak songs as good songs on any given Stryper album.

For me, 'Against the Law' is their best album by the stretch of an erect Leykis' penis (I feel like a need to clarify that this means by a long, long way), but it still has 'Against the law,' 'Rock the people,' 'Not that kind of guy,' 'Shining star,' 'Ordinary man' and 'Rock the hell out of you' clogging up the landscape and as usual, actually outweighing the good songs. 

Obviously this thread is completely to each one's own, and a fan of The Darkness could log in at tell us how they have 5 great albums, but in my humble opinion, page three has entered the realm of madness, lol.

BUT!

To each their own.

And to my own, Stryper don't even have one great album, let alone any five of them. You'd get a pretty solid 10 track best of, though.

To each, of course, their own. 

And to be fair, I could say that about many other bands in this thread other than Stryper, as I am sure publishers of those posts would say about the bands I suggested.

KISS for sure, but I'd go with,

Animalize

Asylum

Crazy Nights

Hot in the Shade

Revenge

"Animalize" is the possible weak link, but I stand by it.

Here's one from each.

I have Skyline ranked behind the last 4 releases as well, but still think it's great. Where do you fall on the track Spanish Ghosts?

I would replace Animalize with Carnival of Souls for my run of five Kiss albums.

Superb track...from that nice spanish guitar build up to the big beat that kicks in,even the Flamenco or it may Jota part fits right in to the style and feel of the song...you can tell where the roots from what they became began, if you know what I mean   

and yes Skyline Whispers is great..its just that pretty much all of their stuff is just that..great

My Stars came first but Sick Things sounds a little like it.

I love the track as well, Glen said he didn't like it which I thought was weird.

If we can get Glen to come around and see it's a great album, then we will have three people in agreement that NFO meets the criteria for this thread.

it's a good album, but not a great album, hence imo NFO are on a 4 album run.

Also for the record I disagree with virtually every other band mentioned in this thread as well 🤣🤣

And the other 97% struggling to find a decent song let alone full album, or christ forbid, 5 of them.

I was right about NFO when I first posted about them on this forum and I'm still right now.

Brilliant band with now 6 albums, 5 of which are pure genius. And one rather good. 

Excellent live band as well. 

They have brought a breath of fresh air to this music scene over the last 10 years whilst most bands have just churned out the same tired old cliched nonsense... Generic boring songs that youve heard a million times.

Congrats to NFO for breaking the mould and bringing us something to sing about in a mire of mediocrity
