Best 3 song run on an album?

[ThePlan]

I think the Beatles Abbey Road is definitely #1, but I'll add a couple ...

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
- Ziggy Stardust
- Suffragette City
- Rock & Roll Suicide

Arcade Fire - Funeral
- Wake Up
- Haiti
- Rebellion (Lies)

George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
- My Sweet Lord
- Wah-Wah
- Isn't It a Pity?

And I'm surprised no one has said this one yet ...

Tenacious D - Tenacious D
- Tribute
- Wonderboy
- Hard [censored] (leading into [censored] Her Gently)

I had Digsy's Diner, Slide Away and Married with Children on my list at first, but decided to not include them. Great choice.

Some good ones guys, I'll throw this one out:

Cursive - The Ugly Organ

The three songs flow together so well, I'm not a huge indie fan, but this was the first thing that came to mind.
