Thanks: Gave 118, Got 152 | 3 outstanding albums in a row?
I've been on a Def Leppard retrofest this evening and reckon their first 3 albums are all outstanding. It got me thinking of others too. In my view Iron Maiden did it with their first 3 as well. Who do you think has managed this most difficult feat?

Slightly subjective as always but here goes.
Roger Waters - The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, Radio Kaos and Amused to Death
Nirvana - Bleach, Nevermind and In Utero.
edit just reread the question and amended my choices accordingly. i just looked at the prince example and so got it all wrong

some excellent albums so far - (although I have never been convinced by Radio KAOS, I don't think it has dated well).
I'd go for
Dark Side of the Moon
Wish You Were Here
Animals
And a personal choice of
Bad Religion : Suffer, No Control, Against the Grain.
Some may say they are all the same album, but they are all superb in my book.
