Shpongle - Nothing Lasts...But Nothing Is Lost

Connoisseur of Hallucination - The Nebbish Route - Falling Awake

http://youtu.be/84Hx-4wcTpQ

The classical guitar in Falling Awake is absolutely sublime bliss. Too bad it fades out.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Gorillaz - Demon Days

Dirty Harry -> Feel Good Inc. -> El Manana

First thing I thought of.

Peter Gabriel - So
Red Rain -> Sledgehammer -> Don't Give Up

This is pretty great as well.

 

[PassiveObserver]

At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command
Arcarsenal, Pattern Against User, One Armed Scissor

Yes, that was some way to kick off their major label debut. I prefer Proxima Centaur->Ursa Minor->Helitrope on Vaya, but that opening salvo on RoC is the stuff of legends.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Golden Slumbers
Carry That Weight
The End

The Beatles - Abbey Road

 

[AzureSkies]

Black Sabbath - Sabotage

Hole In the Sky -> Don't Start (Too Late) -> Symptom of the Universe

I've always considered this to be a suite anyway.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Ex-Factor -> To Zion -> Doo Wop

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

 

[sharkmuncher]

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders:

Good luck deciding which 3 track stretch to pick.

I always forget about this album, but this is the truth.

Pretty much the first half of Low End Theory as well.

 

[Polari]

Swans, The Seer:

Song for a Warrior
Avatar
A Piece of the Sky

 

[CountAntonius]

To Sheila
Ava Adore
Perfect

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

I love the Dirty Harry - FGI - El Mañana sequence, but my favorite is this one from Hand's Like Houses first album:

3. This Ain't No Place for Animals

4. Spineless Crow (my favorite)

5. Starving to Death In the Belly of the Whale

 

[forrest]

I could pick pretty much any three consecutive songs from DSOTM and end up with an eargasm.

Breathe -> On The Run -> Time

This is such a good pick.

 

[not psycho]

Nirvana, In Utero
Milk It -> Pennyroyal Tea -> Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

David Bowie, Hunky Dory
Life on Mars -> Kooks -> Quicksand

Radiohead, OK Computer
Exit Music (For A Film) -> Let Down -> Karma Police

 

[Piston Hyundai]

The start of Run the Jewels 2 is back-to-back-to-back bangers.

[modernlifeisANDY]

Hell to Pay --> Homewrecker --> The Broken Vow

Converge - Jane Doe

 

[InfernoNR]

dredg - el cielo | It Only Took a Day -> Whoa is Me -> The Canyon Behind Her

Belle and Sebastian - The Life Pursuit | The Act of Apostle -> Another Sunny Day -> White Collar Boy

Explosions in the Sky - Take Care, Take Care, Take Care | Be Comfortable Creature -> Postcard from 1952 -> Let Me Back In

Muse - Absolution | Time is Running Out -> Sing for Absolution -> Stockholm Syndrome OR Hysteria -> Blackout -> Butterflies and Hurricanes

Radiohead - Kid A | Everything in it's Right Place -> Kid A -> The National Anthem

Stars of the Lid - ...And Their Refinement of the Decline | Don't Bother They're Here -> Dopamine Clouds Over Craven Cottage -> Even if You're Never Awake

The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin | Race for the Prize -> A Spoonful Weighs a Ton -> The Spark that Bled

 

[Altazor]

dredg - el cielo | It Only Took a Day -> Whoa is Me -> The Canyon Behind Her

Radiohead - Kid A | Everything in it's Right Place -> Kid A -> The National Anthem

OH GOD YES, I was going to post El Cielo but totally forgot. "The Canyon Behind Her" is such a great closer, the last part always manages to make me emotional.

 

[InfernoNR]

OH GOD YES, I was going to post El Cielo but totally forgot. "The Canyon Behind Her" is such a great closer, the last part always manages to make me emotional.

I totally agree on the closer part. That's always what cements the album as my number one favorite. The Canyon Behind Her is just otherworldly and blows me away every time I hear it, especially after listening to the entire album in one sitting

 

[Quake1028]

Aesop Rock - Labor Days
Save Yourself ---> Flashflood ---> No Regrets

Doomtree - No Kings
Little Mercy ---> The Grand Experiment ---> String Theory ---> Team the Best Team

Boston - S/T
More than a Feeling ---> Peace of Mind ---> Foreplay/Long Time ---> Rock & Roll Band

 

[Altazor]

I totally agree on the closer part. That's always what cements the album as my number one favorite. The Canyon Behind Her is just otherworldly and blows me away every time I hear it, especially after listening to the entire album in one sitting

I can't believe the band that did "The Canyon Behind Her" would release Chuckles and Mr Wheezy or whatever the fuck that album's called. Ugh.

 

[SneakySneaks]

Fleetwood Mac's Rumours has some of one of the best lineups yet to be mentioned.

Second Hand News- Dreams - Never Going Back Again - Don't Stop - Go Your Own Way, then they fuck it up with Songbird, but continue with The Chain and You Make Loving Fun.

Seven out of eight isn't bad at all.

 

[Moonkid]

Technically not on a single album together, but Nujabes and Shing02's Luv sic parts 4 to 6 played in sequence is one of the greatest things ever.

https://youtu.be/wGfguhnvECc?t=14m38s

 

[Roulette]

Agree with a lot of these.

I'll add:

Röyksopp - Melody A.M.
So Easy > Eple > Sparks (> In Space > Poor Leno)

That's all I got. Though you could also pick any three songs from Local H's As Good As Dead, for me.

 

[InfernoNR]

I can't believe the band that did "The Canyon Behind Her" would release Chuckles and Mr Wheezy or whatever the fuck that album's called. Ugh.

Seriously. My cousin, one of my best friends and I were really excited to finally hear that album after The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion was so good... We heard it and just got obliterated drunk on 4 loco that night. That album is just utter garbage. I can't believe how badly they fucked up "The Ornament"

 

[Altazor]

I can't believe how badly they fucked up "The Ornament"

Ha - The Ornament, The Thought of Losing You, Sun Goes Down and Before We Began (sometimes even Where I'll End Up) are the only songs I can listen from that. And while the original "Ornament" coda in CWA is better, I still like the "full" version enough to consider it the highlight of this disaster of an album.

 

[Gobias]

Just to add a band that hasn't been mentioned:

Sigur Ros - ( ) - 1 > 2 > 3

 

[EVO]

Tame Impala - Lonerism
Endors Toi -> Apocalypse Dreams -> Mind Mischief

Mac Demarco - Salad Days
Brother -> Let Her Go -> Goodbye Weekend

Air - Moon Safari
La Femme D'Argent -> Sexy Boy -> All I Need

 

[megalowho]

Lots of good picks. Think I have to agree with the OP, or the opening to Sgt. Peppers and Daft Punk - Discovery. Hard to beat.

My contributions:

Marvin Gaye - Here, My Dear
A Funky Space Reincarnation > You Can Leave, But It's Going To Cost You > Falling In Love Again

Bobbi Humphrey - Blacks and Blues
Chicago, Damn > Harlem River Drive > Just A Love Child

Doves - Lost Souls
Catch The Sun > The Man Who Told Everything > The Cedar Room

The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
Race For The Prize > A Spoonful Weighs A Ton > The Spark That Bled

 

[mclem]

Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon

Time -> Great Gig in the Sky -> Money

I was going to say DSOTM, but I was going to say the (slightly cheaty, given how the last track tends to work):

Us and Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage/Eclipse

(For those unfamiliar with it: Brain Damage and Eclipse are strictly two distinct songs, but they're intertwined more than most other songs, and often played together by default)

Also in Floyd, I'd probably be inclined to nominate:
Comfortably Numb / The Show Must Go On / In The Flesh

 

[mariachi507]

David Bowie - Hunky Dory

All You Pretty Things - Eight Line Poem - Life on Mars.

 

[Mohasus]

Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. II: Scenes from a Memory

One Last Time - The Spirit Carries On - Finally Free

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Radiohead - In Rainbows
Reckoner -> House of Cards -> Jigsaw Falling Into Place

I mean, holy shit. Doesn't get any better.

Honorable mention:
Radiohead - King of Limbs
Codex -> Give Up the Ghost -> Separator

 

[Giard]

Queen - Sheer Heart Attack
Tenement Funster > Flick of the Wrist > Lily of the Valley

Great songs and they were made to follow each other.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Ah man, so many of these. Here are a couple of my favorite runs:

Baroness - Red Album

Rays on Pinion -> The Birthing -> Isak

The Avalanches - Since I Left You

Tonight -> Pablo's Cruise -> Frontier Psychiatrist

 

[lastflowers]

From Sufjan Stevens' Illinois

Decatur > Chicago > Casimir Pulaski Day.

I'd be fine with this. OPs is also excellent. I'm not a huge fan of MJ's music, but that's a killer sequence.


Also I'm partial to TV on the Radio's Dear Science:
Love Dog -> Shout Me Out -> DLZ

Titus Andronicus's Civil War epic The Monitor has a great song sequence
A Pot in Which to Piss -> Four Score and Seven -> Theme From "Cheers"

 

[Dopus]

Mastodon - Crack the Skye

The Czar
Ghost of Karelia
Crack the Skye

 

[Blue Calx]

Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies

The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead

The Good Life > El Scorcho > Pink Triangle

American Idoit
Jesus of Suburbia,Holiday,Boulevard of broken dreams

Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Give It Away,Blood Sugar Sex Magik,Under The Bridge

Core
Plush,Wet My Bed,Crackerman,Where The River goes
So I count wet my bed & Crackerman one track mostly because it feels like the interlude to Crackerman it's only a minute and a half

Soundboy rock
The Things We Could Share,Save My Soul,What's Your Version,Paris
I'm just cheating because Paris is amazing

Scott Pilgrim vs a The World: The Game
Another Winter,Skate or Live,Sushi Box

So that's a few off the top of my head great topic op

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

The Killers - Hot Fuss

So damn good.

 

[kingslunk]

Tool - Disposition/Reflection/Triad

 

[To Far Away Times]

Tom Sawyer > Red Barchetta > YYZ (and then Limelight)
Rush, Moving Pictures

U2 - Joshua Tree

Where the Streets Have No Name -> Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For -> With or Without You

These three get my vote.

 

[Prompto]

So damn good.

It really is. Hot Fuss was god like.

 

[NysGAF]

Just to add a band that hasn't been mentioned:

Sigur Ros - ( ) - 1 > 2 > 3

I've definitely made the connection that every even numbered track on ( ) is five stars...

Fyrsta, Njosnavelin, E-Bow, and Popplagio

 

[Roulette]

Oh man, forgot some good ones.

Faith no More - The Real Thing
From Out of Nowhere > Epic > Falling to Pieces

Faith no More - King for a Day...
Ricochet > Evidence > The Gentle Art of Making Enemies

Faith no More - Album of the Year
Collision > Stripsearch > Last Cup of Sorrow > Naked in Front of the Computer > Helpless > Mouth to Mouth > Ashes to Ashes
Track #1 to Track #7, pretty much.

 

[Altazor]

Tool - Disposition/Reflection/Triad

oh yes, I also forgot to mention that (pun intended).

Oh man, forgot some good ones.

Faith no More - The Real Thing
From Out of Nowhere > Epic > Falling to Pieces

Faith no More - King for a Day...
Ricochet > Evidence > The Gentle Art of Making Enemies

Faith no More - Album of the Year
Collision > Stripsearch > Last Cup of Sorrow > Naked in Front of the Computer > Helpless > Mouth to Mouth > Ashes to Ashes
Track #1 to Track #7, pretty much.

Hell, in Angel Dust too: Land of Sunshine -> Caffeine -> Midlife Crisis. Or Smaller and Smaller -> Everything's Ruined -> Malpractice.
Or Malpractice -> Kindergarten -> Be Aggressive.

So damn awesome.

[Roulette]

Hell, in Angel Dust too: Land of Sunshine -> Caffeine -> Midlife Crisis. Or Smaller and Smaller -> Everything's Ruined -> Malpractice.
Or Malpractice -> Kindergarten -> Be Aggressive.

So damn awesome.

I thought about Angel Dust, but I never really liked Land of Sunshine or Malpractice as much as the others...

 

[Ace Harding]

Nirvana - Nevermind
Drain You > Lounge Act > Stay Away

Tool - AEnima
Eulogy > H. > Forty Six & 2 (Useful Idiot doesn't count)

 

[flyover]

Stars of the Lid - ...And Their Refinement of the Decline | Don't Bother They're Here -> Dopamine Clouds Over Craven Cottage -> Even if You're Never Awake

This is a fantastic choice. But it's almost not fair, because "Even if You're Never Awake" is good enough to elevate just about any two other songs ever written to make a top notch trilogy.
