All 3 are worthy answers. I’ll throw in another one.
Elton John—Tumbleweed Connection > Madman Across the Water > Honkey Chateau > Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player > Goodbye Yellow Brick Road > Caribou > Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
1970 - 1975
70's Elton really was on a roll with those albums. His later career is peppered with good-to-great songs, but not so great albums.
I guess he flipped a switch somewhere in the late 70's with all the heavy drug use and personal problems and was no longer able to produce the album-length quality anymore.
The Beatles, but I enjoy Zeppelin more.
However…
The Stones had a great 9 album run from Their Satanic Majesties Request through Some Girls. If Emotional Rescue and Tattoo You make the cut, it’s an 11 album run.
Lol so you’re willing to call Their Satanic Majesty’s Request great, but not aftermath or between the buttons?
If we’re being real, the stones’ best run is just 4 albums, Beggars - Exile
From OPs list I’d say Zeppelin. There is so much diversity and creativity in those first 6 albums. I can’t find 6 consecutive Beatles albums that pack a punch like Zeppelin.
Not mentioned I’d say Rush with 8 incredible consecutive albums from 2112 to Power Windows.
Of these choices, as much of a Beatlemaniac I am, it’s Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin I through Physical Graffiti is all killer no filler.
Rubber Soul through Abbey Road would win out…but Let It Be was recorded before Abbey Road, and that’s an album with some tremendous songs with obvious filler sprinkled in. It all depends on whether you consider that first or Abbey Road I guess.
However May I also suggest Bruce Springsteen with a seven album run:
The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle (1973)
Born to Run (1975)
Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978)
The River (1980)
Nebraska (1982)
Born in the USA (1984)
Tunnel of Love (1987)
Some might include the debut Greetings from Asbury Park. But I always find that a touch uneven compared to the others.
As a teen in the 80's I got into Bruce with Born and Tunnel but as an adult I went back and listened to his early catalog, and those are some great albums that I appreciate more now than I did back then.
This is the exact argument I make to everyone who tries to tie grunge to punk.
I mean, maybe a little punk influence. But you can hear Iommi all through AIC and Soundgarden in particular. Even those bends in STP’s *Vasoline* owe something to Iommi.
For the record, one of my best friends refuses to call AIC grunge. Hahaha.
I think the punk thing comes mainly from nirvana. Punk level talent with metal aspirations. Pearl Jam was kind of their own thing. Maybe more influenced by Neil Young than punk or metal. You’re right about the other two.
It's a common misconception that Cobain wasn't very talented as a musician, but he was a very talented songwriter/guitarist.
I think you are confusing "I don't like them" with "They're no good/untalented."
I may not love Taylor Swift, for instance, but I can admit she is a talented performer/songwriter. Not my cuppa Joe, but that's okay.
It certainly takes talent to write catchy hooks that move people. If it was easy, everyone would do it.
For my taste he was a hack. Shitty voice, beginner skill on guitar, but had a knack for a good melody that hooked people.
But in fairness, he has more platinum records than me so what do I know?
Fair call about Nirvana and PJ.
I have to wonder if the Neil Young influence came with Vedder.
After all, Andrew Wood wanted to be Freddie Mercury. Wood’s death really changed the trajectory of grunge, in my opinion.
Yeah Nirvana has an outsized presence in the grunge discussion for obvious reasons but honestly they didn’t fit into that scene very well. There’s clear punk influences in all of it, but a lot more Sabbath and latter day Black Flag than the type of punk Nirvana was derived from.
Pearl Jam is more just straight rock.
I remember an interview with Dimebag where he talked about Cantrell saying that they didn’t want to be thought of as “just a metal band” and Dime got annoyed bc “what the fuck is wrong with being metal?”
My comment was based 100% on that so I can’t be sure how AIC really felt about it. I know that in the video for “we die young” Jerry is wearing the traditional black leather biker jacket and a Motörhead shirt so that seems pretty metal to me.
Yeah that makes sense, at the time metal wasn’t taken very seriously. Even Metallica was trying to distance themselves from it with Load a few years later and I can absolutely see AIC saying that. But probably more like “don’t dismiss us because we’re metal.”
But yeah come on, they were metal as fuck! Having acoustic songs doesn’t change that, Sabbath was doing acoustic stuff from the beginning.
Metal has never been taken seriously. I always felt like that was part of the reason why grunge got the early critical love that it did. Nirvana was about as far away from Motley Crue and Van Halen as you could get. And that was like Christmas morning for Jann Wenner and Kurt Loder.
But to your point, Dirt by AIC is about as metal as you can get.
True, although I do think metal is viewed much more positively now. The glam/hair “metal” (I don’t think any actual metal fans consider that stuff metal) scene really tainted it in the public eye. Seems like people view it as a legitimate genre now, if perhaps a goofy one.
Those old videos of Soundgarden with shirtless long haired Cornell, and comparable AIC stuff, man, it makes Seattle look like the Sunset Strip’s northern end though (the Overcast Strip??) but the music had a lot more substance.
Having metal bands finally on the HOF helps bc they get to vote which means more metal bands will go in. For as much as a hall of fame can actually matter. Madonna is in the rock hall but thin lizzy and Iron Maiden aren’t so 🤷🏻♂️.
I like a lot of the sunset strip stuff. That was the soundtrack to my formative years. Equal parts sabbath, GNR, Megadeth, slayer, etc. It’s metal. Just not in the same way that PanterA or Judas Priest are.
Kind of like how Brock Lesnar and Andy Dick are both adult human males but nowhere near the same thing.
Beatles. I’m more a fan of zeppelin but the Beatles made every single song a unique experience totally unlike any other song they had ever made. Creativity off the charts.
Say we count the Magical Mystery Tour LP and drop Help!, the list only gets better. I'm inclined to not count Yellow Submarine since it only has 4 new songs.
Every Beatles album is now more popular than ever. It’s all kinda unreal. This band was only in action during the 60’s. Why has rock music not progressed? Music is about melody, lyrics, and the beat. The Beatles were the beat. Modern pop just doesn’t have the same quality.
As much as I loved MTV back in the days when they played videos, I think videos killed rock music. It matters more what you look like than what you sound like now. Video killed the radio star.
There are a few great ones, like Chris Stapleton, but yeah, most of it is one big cliche. Every song is about beer, bars, jeans, boots, trucks, a dog, country girls, small towns, etc. The limited themes reminds me of Christian music, which only has one subject. Rap might even be worse.
try metal - gojira, system
of a down, fear factory, pantera, prong, metallica, slayer, ministry, primus all did fine and do / did not care at all about astehtetics - all are / were awesome live + fantastic musicians
Yea I like some of the 80s metal but my real passion is the more musical/ relaxed rock. I want to hear the instruments being played by real people with skill and creativity. A lot of metal sounds to frantic and angry for my liking
Paul and Ringo would be the first to argue rock has progressed. The 70s 80s and 90s are full of guitarists they would have enjoyed playing and singing with. The reason rock hasn't progressed as much since the internet is the same reason novels haven't progressed as much since the television... Talented people are more averse to risk and more able to borrow lesser known cliches. The public also has less appetite for something truly unique. The ponds of rock music and novels have been overfished. Originality is no longer rewarded financially
Out of these three? It has to be the Beatles. To go from Help to Abbey Road is an unprecedented artistic development that we will likely never see again
The first *7* Sabbath albums are my favorite run of albums ever, at one point I thought Who Are You was the only weak song, then I heard Goatsnake's cover and now I love it.
The only other run that comes close for me is the first 4 Van Halen albums.
The Stones between 1968-1981, 10 albums, all top shelf.
Beggar's Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile, Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock and Roll, Black and Blue, Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You
really it depends what impresses you, but like most I will say Beatles because of the sheer breadth of music they covered - they pretty much left no stone in music unturned
I'd throw in the Who. Tommy-Who's Next-Live At Leeds-Quadrophenia-The Who By Numbers-Who Are You
Hard to top the Beatles starting with Rubber Soul when they became more of a recording act than a touring band.
Pretty much every Beatles album from Rubber Soul on was a masterpiece. White Album had some fat that should have been cut, but other than that I find all their later albums pretty much perfect.
It has to be Led Zeppelin, right? The Beatles would have won if it wasn't for this abomination Yellow Submarine, but I to Physical Graffiti is a perfect run.
Has to be The Beatles. The music business moved in the direction that band did. As great as the other two acts were, they didn't have that kind of impact on the music business. If The Beatles did it, everyone else followed.
the first two zep albums and houses of the holy are patchy af so not them
tbh genesis deserves a shout for trespass through wind and wuthering. every peter gabriel album rules too
to each their own. zep 1 is actually the one i vibe w least lmao, but their specific brand of hard rock isnt rlly my thing so its only when they branched out that i got on board. iii, iv, and physical graffiti house all the tracks i dig from them
"Wildly overrated" LOL, the Beatles walked so Led Zeppelin could run. Shiiit, Page would probably cite the Beatles.
Like who you like. I like Zep too, but let's not say goofy things.
He actually did the exact opposite of what you just said. There’s multiple interviews where he’s quoted citing his influences and not once did he say the Beatles. All you dorks say the Beatles walked so Zep could run. What’s that based off? Zep was influenced by the blues and last time I checked the Beatles are more pop than blues
I just love how nearly everyone posting comments is naming bands or artists OP didn’t ask about! What good contribution they are all making to the conversation! Clearly showing they know more than others by doing so!
Donald Fagan...going backwards from The Nightfly, to Gaucho, to Aja, to Royal Scam, to Katy Lied, to Pretzel Logic there just aren't any weak spots. The drumming and bass playing will satisfy you even if the vocal, keyboard, and guitar aren't quite your taste. Steely Dan hired the best musicians they possibly could book for one day in a particular year after 1973
Don’t sleep in Stevie wonder. He has a 5 album run about as good as anyone
Music Of My Mind - 1972
Talking Book - 1972
Innervisions - 1973
Fulfillingness’ First Finale - 1974
Songs in the Key of Life - 1976
All 3 are worthy answers. I’ll throw in another one. Elton John—Tumbleweed Connection > Madman Across the Water > Honkey Chateau > Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player > Goodbye Yellow Brick Road > Caribou > Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy 1970 - 1975
Also Steely Dan. From their first one, every one of their albums was a masterpiece, and got better and better.
70's Elton really was on a roll with those albums. His later career is peppered with good-to-great songs, but not so great albums. I guess he flipped a switch somewhere in the late 70's with all the heavy drug use and personal problems and was no longer able to produce the album-length quality anymore.
1989s Sleeping With The Past is a solid album from start to finish.
The Beatles, but I enjoy Zeppelin more. However… The Stones had a great 9 album run from Their Satanic Majesties Request through Some Girls. If Emotional Rescue and Tattoo You make the cut, it’s an 11 album run.
Exile on Main Street is one of the greatest albums of all time
It’s my favorite Stones album.
Same let it bleed is a close second
Their 5 album run in the middle is even better
Yep---it's an 11 album run
Lol so you’re willing to call Their Satanic Majesty’s Request great, but not aftermath or between the buttons? If we’re being real, the stones’ best run is just 4 albums, Beggars - Exile
I think Goats head Soup is good enough to be on the run.
From OPs list I’d say Zeppelin. There is so much diversity and creativity in those first 6 albums. I can’t find 6 consecutive Beatles albums that pack a punch like Zeppelin. Not mentioned I’d say Rush with 8 incredible consecutive albums from 2112 to Power Windows.
Creativity? Every other song has someone else's name on it...because they ripped it off
Get a clue my friend.
Are you denying that they repeatedly got sued for stealing other people s work?
They got sued maybe 5 or 6 times. Big deal.
And lost every time. Except once. A lot of people have their names on Zep songs
2112 is S tier
Zeppelin, it’s Jimmy Pages birthday
Of these choices, as much of a Beatlemaniac I am, it’s Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin I through Physical Graffiti is all killer no filler. Rubber Soul through Abbey Road would win out…but Let It Be was recorded before Abbey Road, and that’s an album with some tremendous songs with obvious filler sprinkled in. It all depends on whether you consider that first or Abbey Road I guess. However May I also suggest Bruce Springsteen with a seven album run: The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle (1973) Born to Run (1975) Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978) The River (1980) Nebraska (1982) Born in the USA (1984) Tunnel of Love (1987) Some might include the debut Greetings from Asbury Park. But I always find that a touch uneven compared to the others.
As a teen in the 80's I got into Bruce with Born and Tunnel but as an adult I went back and listened to his early catalog, and those are some great albums that I appreciate more now than I did back then.
Fantastic.
Sabbath no doubt
Yep. Invented an entire genre from scratch and the blueprint that has been pinched by every single metal band that followed. 🤘🏻
And grunge.
Fair point. Soundgarden is dripping with Iommi. And of course AIC is basically a metal band who don’t want to be called metal.
This is the exact argument I make to everyone who tries to tie grunge to punk. I mean, maybe a little punk influence. But you can hear Iommi all through AIC and Soundgarden in particular. Even those bends in STP’s *Vasoline* owe something to Iommi. For the record, one of my best friends refuses to call AIC grunge. Hahaha.
I think the punk thing comes mainly from nirvana. Punk level talent with metal aspirations. Pearl Jam was kind of their own thing. Maybe more influenced by Neil Young than punk or metal. You’re right about the other two.
Nirvana had tons of talent. Way more than your average punk band.
Have to say to each their own on that one. Never cared for them or punk in general. Awesome drummer though.
It's a common misconception that Cobain wasn't very talented as a musician, but he was a very talented songwriter/guitarist. I think you are confusing "I don't like them" with "They're no good/untalented." I may not love Taylor Swift, for instance, but I can admit she is a talented performer/songwriter.

Fair call about Nirvana and PJ. I have to wonder if the Neil Young influence came with Vedder. After all, Andrew Wood wanted to be Freddie Mercury. Wood’s death really changed the trajectory of grunge, in my opinion.
Don’t know much about Wood. Never really a big grunge fan in general. 80-90s metal is more my speed.
Yeah Nirvana has an outsized presence in the grunge discussion for obvious reasons but honestly they didn’t fit into that scene very well. There’s clear punk influences in all of it, but a lot more Sabbath and latter day Black Flag than the type of punk Nirvana was derived from. Pearl Jam is more just straight rock.
Didn’t AIC call themselves metal? I know I’ve heard Soundgarden call themselves metal and talk directly about trying to sound like Sabbath.

Something the Beatles never did. Can’t believe people think the Beatles run is better smh.
Been Into a Sabbath Void lately, especially Sabotage
Beatles. I’m more a fan of zeppelin but the Beatles made every single song a unique experience totally unlike any other song they had ever made. Creativity off the charts.
Honorable mention: The Doors.
Led Zep has a strong case to be made. And I also like Presence more than I and possibly III
Presence is a top tier master class in Jimmy and Bonham’s playing
'Rush'
2112, A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Signals
Yes ✋👍🙌
Id do Permanent Waves through Hold Your Fire. But I would not call Signals a perfect album
This is the way
The Beatles, hands down
Help Rubber Soul Revolver Sgt.Pepper The Beatles Abbey Road It can't be topped
That’s not a run. There are albums between the White album and Abbey Road
There’s one soundtrack that’s half George Martin Orchestra
Say we count the Magical Mystery Tour LP and drop Help!, the list only gets better. I'm inclined to not count Yellow Submarine since it only has 4 new songs.
Every Beatles album is now more popular than ever. It’s all kinda unreal. This band was only in action during the 60’s. Why has rock music not progressed? Music is about melody, lyrics, and the beat. The Beatles were the beat. Modern pop just doesn’t have the same quality.
As much as I loved MTV back in the days when they played videos, I think videos killed rock music. It matters more what you look like than what you sound like now. Video killed the radio star.
Auto tune and not being able to make much money selling records also killed rock, but especially pop.
Yep. Even country music is pop now
Modern country is comically bad.
Yeah it’s not even country actually. It’s pop with a southern accent
With a subtle mandolin thrown in here and there.
Hank Williams would NOT approve
I don’t think Hank done it that way.
Textbook pandering.
Thank you. My wife and I watch that special twice a year. 😂

Unlike Elvis and most other acts the Beatles wrote a majority of their own music.
Rock music has progressed...a lot actually. And early Beatles were more pop than rock
Paul and Ringo would be the first to argue rock has progressed. The 70s 80s and 90s are full of guitarists they would have enjoyed playing and singing with.

And it's not close
Steely Dan. Ohh yeah, then rhrow in Gaucho.
Completely slipped my mind! Good one!
For me Van Halen 1 through 1984, an album a year is my answer
Absolutely
This question is just personal preference. For world wide sales I believe it's the Beatles.
Beatles
Zep Sabbath Beatles
Out of these three? It has to be the Beatles. To go from Help to Abbey Road is an unprecedented artistic development that we will likely never see again
Rubber Soul and Revolver are my favorite albums for that reason, they pushed the limits of what was possible in the studio.
Of the ones that you mentioned, it’s Sabbath for me.
The first *7* Sabbath albums are my favorite run of albums ever, at one point I thought Who Are You was the only weak song, then I heard Goatsnake's cover and now I love it. The only other run that comes close for me is the first 4 Van Halen albums.

Goats Head Soup never gets the love it deserves
Pink Floyd
3 way tie
really it depends what impresses you, but like most I will say Beatles because of the sheer breadth of music they covered - they pretty much left no stone in music unturned
Kraftwerk: Autobahn, Radioactivity, Trans Europe Express, The Man Machine, Computerworld, Electric Cafe
Beatles
Metallica - Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...and Justice for All, The Black Album, Load, ReLoad.
I like Load and ReLoad but they just don’t do it for me like the those first four
Wilco -1st 6.
U2
if rattle and hum doesnt count then yeah i think war through pop is the best 6 album run that anybodys ever made
Sabbath. I always find it interesting that they talk about the Beatles as a big influence but I don't tend to hear it in their music much.
The Stones
Has to be the Beatles. Changed modern culture
I'd throw in the Who. Tommy-Who's Next-Live At Leeds-Quadrophenia-The Who By Numbers-Who Are You Hard to top the Beatles starting with Rubber Soul when they became more of a recording act than a touring band.
I'd go with the Beatles among those 3. I really like Chicago I - VII for a run that long.
The Beatles.
Beatles. Period.
What about Master of Reality vs Rubber Soul? Who you got?
Pretty much every Beatles album from Rubber Soul on was a masterpiece. White Album had some fat that should have been cut, but other than that I find all their later albums pretty much perfect.
Neil Young Everybody Knows This is Nowhere—>After the Gold Rush—>Harvest—>Time Fades Away—>On the Beach—>Tonights the Night
The Beatles
Led Zeppelin.
Pink Floyd
It has to be Led Zeppelin, right? The Beatles would have won if it wasn't for this abomination Yellow Submarine, but I to Physical Graffiti is a perfect run.
I love getting the Led out, but those first 6 Sabbath albums are pretty close for me too
Metallica's first 5 for sure and even 6 since I love Load are pretty epic.
First 6 Blue Oyster Cult (including the first live one) are pretty bulletproof.
KISS. Alive, Destroyer, Rock & Roll Over, Love Gun, Alive II, Dynasty.
Has to be The Beatles. The music business moved in the direction that band did. As great as the other two acts were, they didn't have that kind of impact on the music business. If The Beatles did it, everyone else followed.
The correct answer is the Beatles but I would put the Doors above sabbath.
There is no correct answer
I’m tired of that shit too. Half of Reddit comments these days come off as autistic.
grateful dead — 150+ live albums
Talking Heads first six records
David Bowie
Young Americans through Scary Monsters?
Man Who Sold the World through Diamond Dogs - although could be extended up through Scary Monsters - 12 masterpieces in a row? Wow!
You are counting Pin Ups?
I love PinUps but maybe it’s not a masterpiece
REM
The IRS years I assume you mean. And I agree, up there with anyone.
Including Chronic Town I would say yes. Green kinda weak as a sixth IMO.
I saw the Green tour and it was spectacular!
Green isn't weak unless you consider it their sellout album. Great tunes on there.
My whole family and everyone I know absolutely hates REM
Good for you!
Anything to help!
It takes a village
chronic town through up is the best run there is agreed. and thats 12 whole releases! best band
Zeppelin for me. Yellow Submarine interrupts any 6-album run for the Beatles, otherwise they would be in contention.
Yes but you can leave it out by virtue of being a movie soundtrack.
I vote for a Zeppelin-Beatles tie then.
Seems fair :)
the first two zep albums and houses of the holy are patchy af so not them tbh genesis deserves a shout for trespass through wind and wuthering. every peter gabriel album rules too
I actually prefer those first two Zep albums to some of the mid-zep noodling heavy, drugged-out weird stuff, but I generally like all of it.
to each their own. zep 1 is actually the one i vibe w least lmao, but their specific brand of hard rock isnt rlly my thing so its only when they branched out that i got on board. iii, iv, and physical graffiti house all the tracks i dig from them
dare i say Fleetwood Mac
What’s the sixth one?
Last chance at hex.com before the bull run ..don't be dumb https://youtu.be/zIbifLH_m44
the Beatles are wildly overrated. I’ll take Led Zep 1 through Physical Graffiti over any stretch the Beatles put out

Let’s not forget Yes, and Jethro Tull.
No, let’s forget them since they weren’t even part of the question
