Re: Best 3 song run on an album?
 

OK, not all of these could be considered the very best of all time, but they're all pretty amazing, and if you don't know some of them, it might behoove you to learn about them, listen to them.

Starting with one of my favorite albums...

Love - Forever Changes
1)Alone Again Or
2)A House Is Not a Motel
3)Andmoreagain

Blonde on Blonde has some great stretches like this; aside from what was already mentioned, I'd suggest

6)(Stuck Inside of Mobile with the) Memphis Blues Again
7)Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat
8)Just Like a Woman

in fact, that may be my pick, and it doesn't even include my favorite song on the album.

another Dylan, from Highway 61 Revisited:

5)Ballad of a Thin Man
6)Queen Jane Approximately
7)Highway 61 Revisited

you could also easily do

1)Like a Rolling Stone
2)Tombstone Blues
3)It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry


Ooh, here was a fun one I found going through my albums:

Van Halen - Van Halen
1)Runnin' with the Devil
2)Eruption
3)You Really Got Me

a couple from another favorite album of mine

The Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight

1)I Wanna Destroy You
2)Kingdom of Love
3)Positive Vibrations

7)You'll Have to Go Sideways
8)Old Pervert
9)The Queen of Eyes
( 10)Underwater Moonlight fits too )

OK, I just realized I could do this to severely extensive length, so I'll just stop here.

Because the best three song run on the album is Four Sticks-Going To California-When The Levee Breaks?

From Physical Graffiti: Custard Pie-The Rover-In My Time Of Dying

Too bad Side Two doesn't start off w/a better song than Houses Of The Holy, although (any song)-Trampled Underfoot-Kashmir is a very strong trifecta.
