Greatest 3 Stretch of Albums

#1

For me its a tough choice between

A Tribe Called Quest
1.Peoples Instinctive Rhythms
2.Low End Theory
3.Midnight Marauders

Or

AC/DC
1.Dirty Deeds
2.Let There Be Rock
3.Powerage

Pains me to leave out Zep but their first 5 albums are all equally worthy.

  1. Undertow
  2. Anima
  3. Lateralus
#3

The Beatles:

Revolver
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
