Van Halen: 1984, 5150, OU812, FUCK, Balance (it took me a while to appreciate how good Balance really is)

 

Yeah, that's a strong 5.

Bon Jovi actually have six, from s/t to These Days. That's pretty impressive. 

That's probably the best example of all bands mentioned in this thread.

Surely, even Glen must agree with this.

You're not new enough around here to be so ignorant. Gleonard is never obliged to agree with anyone. ;}

Man, it's hard to come up with a list. I'm not nearly as well-listened as you guys. I'm going through my favourite bands right now, and I don't think any of them has 5 great albums in a row: Megadeth, Tourniquet, Kansas, Vengeance Rising, Dream Theater, Dragonforce, Joe Satriani, Theocracy. As noted above, alot of these bands could make a hellova Hits album, but not 5 in a row!

Megadeath, maybe four: Rust in Peace > Cryptic Writings

Tourniquet, maybe four: Stop the Bleeding > Vanishing Lessons

Dream Theater, maybe 3: Metropolis, Pt. 2 > Train of Thought

I think Theocracy is on its way. Mirror of Souls, As The World Bleeds, and Ghost Ship are incredible. But they're still 2 shy; we'll see what happens in the next few years.

However, I think Skillet has done it in recent years. You could argue that Rise maybe wasn't great, but I've been so impressed with them in recent years. Comatose > Awake > Rise > Unleashed > Victorious. I thought they were gonna crash and burn years ago, but they've just been getting better.

Yeah that is hard to argue with right there...from a personal point of view id even add Too Hot To Sleep onto Survivor & Unusual Heat onto Foreigner...but I know not everyone is a fan of those releases...i'd probably drop Ozzmosis as it doesnt for me hold a candle to those other Ozzy releases...but solid choices indeed.
