Very solid choice.

Re: Best 3 song run on an album?
 

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

Also pretty much any three songs on Nothing's Shocking.

Well done. I'm not a huge U2 fan, but The Joshua Tree is sweet and this stretch is stellar. I can't think of any song by them I like better with the possible exception of Sunday Blooday Sunday over Where the Streets Have No Name.

Re: Best 3 song run on an album?
 

Gates of Eden
It's Alright Ma
It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Bob Dylan - Bringing it All Back Home

Re: Best 3 song run on an album?
 

Elvis Costello and the Attractions - This Year's Model

first 3 tracks:

No Actions
This Year's Girl
The Beat

Clash - London Calling:

Hateful, Rudie Can't Fail, Spanish Bombs. If I liked All Lost in the Supermarket as much as most people do, it'd be that, Clampdown, and Guns of Brixton. Wrong 'Em Boyo ruins (though I like the song) what would be an amazing three song blast of Clampdown, Guns of Brixton, and Death or Glory.

Thats a sick run.

Re: Best 3 song run on an album?
 

any three songs from Counting Crows August and everything after is great. i probably know that entire album by heart.

It wont win, but how about AC/DC--Thunderstruck, Fire your guns, and Moneytalks.

Re: Best 3 song run on an album?
 

in terms of recent albums, hot fuss's opening 3 is pretty solid:

jenny was a friend of mine
mr brightside
smile like you mean it

Re: Best 3 song run on an album?
 

first three songs of van morrison's astral weeks.
