Rush: 2112, a farewell to kings, hemispheres. A perfect trio, their peak years.
Absolutely!!!!
I'd go for the Triple Magic of Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures & Signals.
I always thought of a Rush as having lots of pairs but never quite a trio... Fly By Night and Caress of Steel - a pair, A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres, definitely a pair, then Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures - a pair, then Roll the Bones and Presto - a pair as well. 2112 and Signals are for me transitional albums. 2112 could make a trio with FBN and CoS, as well as with AFtK and Hemispheres. Signals could make a trio with Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures, but also with Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows.
I realize I’m in the minority, but I’d go with Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure.
@@michaelroche4559 yes can’t go wrong with that trio as well. I’m just partial to the 70’s overall 😁
Blue Öyster Cult - (Blue Öyster Cult - Tyranny and Mutation - Secret Treaties)
The Beatles - (Revolver, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour)
While they all sound a bit different, I think those albums encapsulate their psychedelic period. They have some whimsical and experimental songs on other albums as well but there are through lines on those 3 in particular.
that first Blue Öyster Cult album: simplistic and totally wonderful.
Bowie's "Berlin" Trilogy is kind of legendary: Heroes, Low, and Lodger.
Blackfoot: strikes, tomcattin’, marauder. Perfect trio, 79 to 81
That's a perfect example.
Yes those albums are my favorites by blackfoot
YES! YES! YES!!!
So only trio I'm suprised wasn't mentioned by Pete is Jethro Tull, Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses and Stormwatch, amazing records
Yes, the "progressive folk trilogy", fantastic trio.
Wow....how did I forget that one? Ugh....great call!
@seaoftranquilityprog haha it's all good! Stormwatch the last year or so has become my favorite of the 3 for sure
@@b-man2225Stormwatch is an epic classic... 😮
This Tull trio was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the title of this week's video!
Y&T, Earthshaker, Black Tiger, and Mean Streak, they are their three best albums which happen to be done one after another.
Good choice.
Great picks by both of you .
I would add :
Santana , Abraxas , Santana III
Elton John : Madman Across the Water , Honky Chateau , Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player
Elvis Costello : My Aim is True , This Year's Model , Armed Forces
Shades of Deep Purple , The Book of Taliesyn , Deep Purple
Kansas : Masque , Leftoverture , Point of Know Return
Moody Blues : In Search of the Lost Chord , On the Threshold of a Dream , A Question of Balance
Queen : A Night at the Opera , A Day at the Races , News of the World
Cheers !
Ride The Lightning - Master Of Puppets - And Justice For All.
Best of the bands whole catalog.
I agree. They all have a similar structure (ballad at the end of side one, instrumental at the end of side two, atc) and show them leaning a bit into more progressive elements.
The only band I've ever consciously thought this exact thing about is Judas Priest. Sad Wings of Destiny, Sin after Sin, and Stained Class. i even call it the "S Trilogy". It represents their best stuff, for me. Different drummer on each of the album, but still, it's the perfect mix of heaviness and emotion, and I can listen to them back to back and feel like I've gone on this fantastic journey.
you nailed it perfectly
Starting with Sad, I like everything through Screaming.
Oh I definitely like all those albums too, but the trilogy is most special.@@williambaxter4628
I'd say Journey's trio is Departure, Infinity, and Evolution. All three have similar production and sound and have Perry and Rollie still trading off on vocals. A sound I wish they could have carried forward.
yes
Wire - Pink Flag/Chairs Missing/154
Bowie - Low/Heroes/Lodger
Husker Du - Zen Arcade, New Day Rising, Flip Your Wig - last 3 albums on SST. Getting slightly more refined as they go along but it all seemed like one big burst of creative energy to me.
Swans - The Seer, To Be Kind, The Glowing Man. A trio of massive epic albums, highlights of the 2010s for me.
Neu! - 1/2/3
Gamma - 1/2/3
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones/Rain Dogs/Frank's Wild Years
Funkadelic - s/t, Free Your Mind, Maggot Brain
Melvins - Maggot/Bootlicker/Crybaby
For Journey I’d say INFINITY, EVOLUTION, and DEPARTURE. End of the Rolie era
Martin is not a fan of Journey in his opinion.
I'll go for The Sensational Alex Harvey Band with Next, The Impossible Dream and Tomorrow Belongs To Me. They don't all strictly sound so alike but the 'Vambo' theme runs through and the artwork fits the bill nicely too. Great show guys and hope the music helps gets you through the tough times Pete. Your show has helped me through tough times and is a big part of my daily routine. Best channel on YT bar none with the coolest people on your panels. Love and rocking from Liverpool, UK❤
I would go for Queen,Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack .
Shades of Deep Purple, Book of Taliesin and Deep Purple.
GREAT grab - for sure.
good call!
Rush's Signals, Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows all have the same vibe and were essentially the 'keyboard' albums much to the chagrin of Alex Lifeson.
I feel Brian Eno's debut triptych of Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy), and Another Green World form a type of spiritual trilogy or at least they do for me. The story of Eno's transition from eccentric Roxy Music pop star to ambient/avant-garde pioneer.
They are separated by many years, but Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, The Ghost of Tom Joad, and Devils & Dust could be sold as a trilogy in a box set.
Blur's Modern Life Is Rubbish, Parklife, The Great Escape fit together beautifully as a type of ultimate Britpop trilogy, with Damon Albarn's songwriting at its most hyper-English and observational.
The three early 80s King Crimson are the obvious 3. Rush's Signals through Power Windows have a shared sound. Bob Dylan has two trios that I'm aware of: the three Christian albums beginning with Slow Train Coming and his 3 self-produced albums as Jack Frost: Love and Theft, Modern Times & Together Through Life. Glass Hammer have 3 with Jon Davison: If, Cor Cordium & Perilous; and of course their most recent Skallagrim Trilogy. I always link together Alice Cooper's Flush the Fashion through Special Forces.
I know U2 is always ignored on SoT but War, Unforgettable Fire, and Joshua Tree form a musical and thematic trio
Agreed. I also feel there's a degree of tissue connecting Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop.
Great
“They have the worst rhythm section in big rock." Henry Rollins
Those 3 albums are fantastic. U2 is a great band, but there other bands I do love more. I would put U2 over Guns N Roses and Bon Jovi any day.
I'd go with Boy, October and War!
"Now what!?", "Infinite" and "Whoosh" by Deep Purple and "Lovedrive", "Animal Magnetism" and "Blackout" by Scorpions.
Yes Scorps, those were huuuge
Also "Magica", "Klling the dragon" and "Master of the Moon" by Dio
The only three Scorpions cds I listen to. Perfect example.
@@williambaxter4628 I would suggest to include "In Trance" and "Virgin Killer" in your listening routine.
@@furyomori3896 Thanks!
Black Sabbath vol4, Sabbath bloody Sabbath, and Sabotage are a trio.🤘
Most people go for the first three, but those you mentioned are my favourites.
I’ve always seen the debut as standalone.
I group Paranoid, Master of Reality and Vol 4 together as the heavy doomy stoner proto metal trio of albums.
Then I put Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage and Technical Ecstasy together as the 3 where Sabbath start bringing in keyboards and more general 70s rock sounds.
I know people put Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die together as a pair too. But for a trio of albums, I would put TE with the previous two.
I'd go with Master of Reality, Vol 4, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Although I would also go with Black Sabbath, Parnoid and Master of Reality.
@@takodabostwick8507 Apart from the title track, I just find that the debut sounds quite different from Paranoid and Master of Reality. The title track is doomy yeah but not the rest of the album, that's just one song and there's a lot more blues-rock on it than the albums that come after, so for this topic I don't tend to group the debut album with them.
@@jimmycampbell78 understandable. However, I do believe that the debut album is really awesome. The first five albums are perfect. Sabotage is good, but I love the Heaven and Hell albums and 2 Tony Martin albums more.
Jethro Tull :- Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses, and Stormwatch :)
Scorpions In trance, Virgin Killer and Taken by Force.
King Crimson had two great trios; "Discipline", "Beat" & "Three of a Perfect Pair" in the 1980's and the 1970's trio of "Larks' Tongues In Aspic", "Starless & Bible Black" & "Red".
Yes , my pick too . Great observation .
KC was the first one to come to mind as soon as I saw this episode's title. Of course, for Pete's final pick, he revealed that it was no accident.
The title of the video made it a dead giveaway.@@knightvisioniixv
@@ericarmstrong6540Haha! Yep.
My trifecta would be:: Boston, Dont Look Back & Third Stage
I'm a recent convert to the greatness of the Groundhogs. Thank Christ for the Bomb (1970), Split ('71) and Who Will Save the World? The Mighty Groundhogs ('72) show a distinct progression from their blues beginnings to something unique, and to me they are of a piece. RIP Tony McPhee.
Good call!
Robin Trower's first three
Yes!
stevie wonder - talking book, innervisions and fulfillingness first finale
Excellent pick!
I think an argument could be made for, "Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures and Signals" and "Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows and Hold Your Fire"
As I mentioned in the chat, the first four OVERKILL albums for a quartet - Feel the Fire, Taking Over, Under the Influence, and The Years of Decay. It was the band's original lineup with Rat and Bobby G.
Rat was only on the first 2 albums
@@relinquishh, you are absolutely correct. Sid Falck was on the other two.
Turn Of The Cards - Scheherazade - Novella
That's my perfect Renaissance Trio. 🥰
1. I think Iron Maiden works with, Number of the Beast-> Piece of Mind-> PowerSlave. They all feel power metally with the focus on guitar/bass/vocals; before Keyboard/Synth atmospheres of Somwhere in time/Seventh Son Duo.
2. Omen with Battle Cry -> Warning of Danger -. The Curse; again power metal templates.
3. Lastly, Yngwie with Rising Force -> Marching Out->Trilogy. Yngwies own power metal vision showing his learning curve before hitting the corporate money wall and going the Blackmore route of Aor lead singer equals success.
Pete I can't beleive you did not mention Blue Oyster Cult! You are wearing their shirt.. The first three (Black & White years) are a true trio. As a pair Agents of Fortune and Spectres compliment each other very well.
My same thoughts Black & White years are phenomenal
Blackfoot - Strikes, Tomcattin' & Marauder
For sure pick for this topic 👍
Jade Warrior's first three - Jade Warrior, Released, Autumn's Dream
Rush - Moving Pictures, Signals, Grace Under Pressure. What unifies them are the three parts of Fear. I know there is a 4th part but that was many years later.
Mike Oldfield - QE2, Five Miles Out, Crises. They contain the "Taurus" trilogy.
Journey-Infinity-Evolution-Departure. Cover art alone. And then the live album Captured. Maybe the most obvious pick.
Jethro Tull-Songs From The Wood,Heavy Horses,and Stormwatch. Stones are going to release another new album when Keith celebrates his 100th birthday
Black Crowes- Southern Harmony, Amorica, and Three Snakes
I could see this.
@@davidmitchell6873 Jeff Cease and no jams negate that in a nanosecond
Earthshaker's first 3 albums Earthshaker, Fugitive, Midnight Flight. From the sound of the 3 albums and artwork flow together very well.
Slayer - Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven, and Seasons In Abyss have always been a trilogy to me.
Even though Raw Power stands out I would say the three Stooges albums from their classic run are a trio.
Maybe Captain Beefheart - Shiny Beast, Doc At The Radar Station and Ice Cream For Crow
For the Stones I would say Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street
The Melvins released three in a year they call "the trilogy": The Maggot, The Bootlicker, and The Crybaby. You could also say their three major label albums and the three with the double drummer lineup are trios too.
Maybe the three Alice In Chains albums with Layne even though there are the acoustic EPs in between them.
I might also say the last three King Crimson albums are a trio too.
Voivod - Killing Technology, Dimension Hatross, and Nothingface
Neil Young - "The Ditch Trilogy": Time Fades Away, Tonight's The Night, and On The Beach
Riverside - the three first albums. Saga - the three first albums. Symphony X - Paradise Lost, Iconclast, Underworld. Triumph - Allied Forces, Never Surrender, Thunder Seven.
I saw the Symphony X album title and immediately thought of "Gothic", "Shades of God" and "Icon" by Paradise Lost. Perfect trio of albums I think. And it can be extended both sides, to "Lost Paradise" and "Draconian Times" certainly.
Obvious choice - BOC's black and white period.
Rush - Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures/Signals - the "pop" Terry Brown albums - have always gone together for me.
AC/DC - I'd say Highway to Hell thru For Those About to Rock, despite a different singer, strike me as very similar.
Journey - Infinity/Evolution/Departure are similar.
Here’s some of my picks that weren’t mentioned
Aerosmith Get your wings, Toys in the Attic, Rocks
Steve Miller Band The Joker, Fly like an Eagle, Book of Dreams
The Doobie Brothers Toulouse Street, The Captain and Me, what were once vices are now habits
Styx Crystal ball, Grand Illusion, Pieces of eight
UFO: force it, no heavy pettin’, lights out
Scorpions: in trance, Virgin killer, taken by force
Glad I read all the comments.. I was just about to put up exactly the same two trios. Awesome
Considering you are wearing a BOC shirt, I thought you would bring up the first 3 BOC albums leading up to On Your Feet or On Your Knees.
Saxon-Wheels Of Steel, Strong Arm Of The Law and Denim and Leather!
Martin saying (again) that they are poorly recorded, simplistic and sound like AC/DC, Status Quo and Kiss?!
@@mjp8648 Saxon metal ACDC? I could believe that. But they're still awesome.
I’ve always thought of Rush’s trilogy as Farewell to Kings / Hemispheres / Permanent Waves. I jumped on board when 2112 was released, but I really embraced them on those following 3 albums, so I may have some bias in my logic.
Porcupine Tree: In Absentia / Deadwing / Fear of a Blank Planet all work as a trio for me in a similar way as Rush does.
Script For A Jesters Tear
Fugazi
Misplaced Childhood All by Marillion of course and all connected.
Fish once said they form a trilogy. Script is bedsit thoughts, the time before fame. Fugazi is hotel thoughts, when you get that fame and the problems of being on tour. MC is home thoughts, when you can’t wait to get home but you’re trying to sort out those problems whilst you’re away.
My cousin (who got me into Marillion) described those three as the sad album, the angry album, and the happy album.
The Beatle's acid trio. Rock genius's mountain top; *Revolver, Sgt Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour.* Before they were growing afterwards the slow decline and I say that even though 'The White Album' is one of my favorites; it is their first in a while ('Beatles for Sale' was their last with a little filler) with some little 'filler' while their last two had IMHO quite a lot of filler, even if it is quality filler, the explosive evolution had ended and other artists took the lead musically; Hendrix, the Doors, Frank Zappa, Woodstock, the Grateful Dead, Santana, Velvet Underground, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones peak era, etc etc.
"Magical Mystery Tour" isn't really an album per se. In the UK it was released as two EPs, and in the US it contained the soundtrack from the TV special of the same name as well as singles previously released during the Sgt Pepper sessions.
Also, "Abbey Road' is considered their best album by many.
I think there are a lot of good songs on "Let It Be" but it is overall a drop in quality from what they'd done previously. Virtually all of it was actually recorded before "Abbey Road" though they were essentially coming up with all of the songs that appear on the last 2 albums at the same time.
Abbey Road happened to get the better material in my opinion but it's interesting that the fact that "Abbey Road" was released before "Let It Be"that it creates the false impression of a band starting to lose its mojo a bit.
I love The White Album but yeah, definitely a lot of filler. Many have argued it would have been a more solid album if released as a single album instead of a double album with only the strongest tracks; they could have released the others as singles.
@@b.g.5869 Yeah I know that and just for once the US LP version is the better one and later became the 'official version' for that reason. And as that version is, it is a primo example of the Beatles best stuff. 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'I am the Walrus'. Two of my favorite 5 Beatles' Songs.(the other three being 'While My Guitar gently Weeps', 'Eleanor Rigby and 'Hey Bulldog') Their 'Acid Era' is their best IMHO
@@vladdrakul7851 I don't disagree; I think that the US version of MMT is better than Sgt Pepper and is a great collection of songs from their psychedelic era. I just don't think strictly speaking it's actually an album per se inasmuch as it wasn't a collection of new music.
This doesn't necessarily mean it can't be considered part of a trio of course.
Good episode, thanks! My three of a perfect pair would be:
Queensryche: "Operation Mindcrime," "Empire," and "Promised Land." To me, it was the peak of their original lineup and most polished and complete albums. Definitely my favorite 3 from them, and by a long way.
Blue Oyster Cult first 3 (Blue Oyster Cult, Tyranny and Mutation, Secret Treaties) - The black and white era!
Saga's first 3: Saga, Images at Twilight, Silent Knight - 3 similar covers and music very much sounds the same on all 3
I thought you were giving away one of your obvious picks with your BOC t-shirt. The first three BOC "black and white" albums fits. Also Tull`s "Songs from The Wood", "Heavy Horses", and "Stormwatch". And the first three Riverside albums.
Pete... How can you forget B.O.C.?
Great show. Totally agree with the Uriah Heep and Rainbow/Turner trios. One comment about Whitesnake: I think the two versions of Slide It In work in different trios. Come n Get It, Saints & Sinners and Slide It In/UK version make up one trio, then Slide It In/US version, 1987 and Slip Of The Tongue make up a second trio.
The first 3 Journey albums go together but Departure sounds nothing like Escape and Frontiers.
You mean Steve Perry's 1st 3 albums😊
You could also make the argument that Escape and Frontiers aren't all that similar either...to me though, Departure, Escape, and Frontiers are only really cause at the time they were their biggest albums. Infinity, Evolution, and Departure are probably the real true trio albums there.
@@seaoftranquilityprog The first 3 Steve Perry albums go together, totally agree. When Jonathan Cain joined the band their sound changed.
Springsteen with Born to Run, Darkness, and The River. Teen energy and feeling you can take on the world to The River and getting older and realizing life can be rough.
🌠The Who is the 1st band that comes 2 mind..Tommy/ Who's Next/Quadrophenia...Pete hang in there, & nice that Martin is visiting a friend..good guys...
Hey Peter & Martin, I am a longtime viewer & follower. Hoping you are having a great start of The Weekend. One ☝🏻 more add on to the 3 of a perfect pair to your outstanding presentation, these are NOT the same artists (of sorts) • however the are stitched by the same production and studio sessions: 1. Exposure by Rover Fripp 2. Peter Gabriel 2 ( scratch) & 3. Sacred Songs by Daryl Hall
good call!
I thought for sure Pete would suggest Jethro Tull's "Folk Trilogy" of Songs Ffrom The Wood, Heavy Horses and Stormwatch.
Burn-Stormbringer-Come Taste the Band.
My three favorite Purple albums. I guess I’m not a true Purple fan. Really like those albums.
Nice Purple pix Captain. I chose 3 others.
@@garyh.238 Yes sir great minds
@@jimmyheathmusic3779 Your a true Purple fan “Because” you like those three👊 Cheers from The Captain
Great show!
You might make a case for Killing Machine - British Steel - Point of Entry for their poppy Hard Rock Metal albums with the occasional speed bomb thrown in...
Apparently the follow up to the new Stones album is already being recorded, so I guess it will be the second to last or maybe even third to last album of theirs.
Back in Black- For Those About To Rock- Flick Of The Switch. All the songs aound like off the same album.
Just started watching this and got the explanation of the episode. I paused it to say this. The first one better be discipline, beat, and three of a perfect pair!
Queensryche Warning, Rage for Order, Operation Mindcrime, the EP of course before Warning only 4 songs, and then triple platinum Empire, more accessible after Mindcrime
RFO just doesn't fit between the other two very well. The Warning is Priest/Maiden worship, followed by RFO's very cold cyberpunk feel;finally OM feels far more like it should drop 2.5 yrs after the Warning, going into Empire. Rage is in my favorite top 5 of all time; Except the solo on 'Cant get close to you"; which sounds like it was played be Roger Fisher as a studio favor.
The best 3 albums from Queensryche.
Strawbs: Antiques & Curios / Witchwood / Grave New World. A&C is mostly live but contains original material. They all capture that early folk / rock / prog feel of mid period early Strawbs, with Rick Wakeman, Richard Hudson and John Ford coming on board. Wakeman was replaced by Blue Weaver for GNW but the feeling continued. Dave Lambert came onboard for Bursting at the Seams and there was a partly more mainstream feel to some of the music, although there was still a strong element of prog. You could also have Bursting / Hero & Heroine / Ghosts as their last prog albums, although the sound changed quite a lot on H&H.
DEEP PURPLE's: In Rock, Fireball, and Machine Head.
Yes Sir. Captain Approved
Thanks Captain! @@captainbeyond7469
Unfortunately, you guys are leaving out, "who do we think we are," which is one of my favorite Deep Purple albums. That makes four, not three, from mkll.
I thought about adding it, but was going with the theme of Three. Indeed, WTWTWA is one of my favourite Purples too. @@micolsen9824
Bob Dylan - Slow train coming and the two subsequent albums
Neil Young's ditch trilogy
David Bowie: Low, "Heroes" (both 1977) and Lodger (1979)
I was actually expecting Bowie's 'Berlin Trilogy' to show up among Martin's picks, even if he did mention it in passing. Great shout!
Boston S/ T, Dont Look Back and Third Stage
The DoorsS/ T, Strange Days and Waiting For the Sun
Ghost- Melliora, Prequelle and Impera
The Doors for sure.
The Seer, To Be Kind and The Glowing Man by Swans.
Yes!!!
Probably Rush’s Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and Signals ushering in the 80’s, the synth era, and the final 3 with Terry Brown.
I can agree with that. Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures are up in my top 3 Rush albums.
Krokus - Metal Rendezvous, Hardware & then One Vice at a Time. All very similar vibe before you get the hit Headhunter.
Petra Never say die, More Power To Ya and Not of this world.
ZZ Top - Eliminator, Afterburner, Recycler.
Billy Joel - The Stranger, 52nd Street, Glass Houses
Boston, Don't Look Back, Third Stage
Foreigner, Double Vision, Head Games
I can see four different Journey trios:
Journey, Look Into The Future, Next
Infinity, Evolution, Departure
Escape, Frontiers, Raised On Radio
Revelation, Eclipse, Freedom
Fleetwood Mac: FUTURE GAMES, BARE TREES and MYSTERY TO ME;
Santana's first three;
Boston;
Dylan: either the three 'Christian' albums (SLOW TRAIN, SAVED and SHOT OF LOVE), his three '80s disappointments (EMPIRE BURLESQUE, KNOCKED OUT LOADED and DOWN IN THE GROOVE), his Millennial comebacks (TIME OUT OF MIND, LOVE & THEFT and MODERN TIMES) or his three American soundbook covers projects (SHADOWS, ANGELS and TRIPLICATE);
John Cale's three albums for Island Records (FEAR, HELEN OF TROY and SLOW DAZZLE);
The three Roxy Music albums after Eno left (COUNTRY LIFE, STRANDED and SIREN) or the three reunion albums (MANIFESTO, FLESH & BLOOD and AVALON);
The "Teapot Trilogy" from Gong;
Cat Steven's first three albums after recovering from TB (MONA BONE, TILLERMAN, and TEASER);
Laura Nyro's classic run (ELI, CHRISTMAS and TENDABERRY);
Little Feat: DIXIE CHICKEN, FEATS DOWN FAIL ME NOW and LAST RECORD ALBUM;
First three Doors albums;
First three Focus albums;
First three Mike Oldfield albums;
Billy Joel's three albums preceding THE STRANGER;
Maybe the three Guess Who albums with Randy Bachman on RCA (WHEATFIELD SOUL, CANNED WHEAT and AMERICAN WOMAN);
etc.
Think you have a couple more shows... maybe "three of a perfect pair"!
U might make a trio out of the mutt lange great sounding AC-DC albums even though different singers, they are sonically very similar and sound great.
Highway to hell
Back in black
For those about to rock.
Mastodon - Leviathan / Blood Mountain / Crack the Skye
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine / Ire Works / Option Paralysis
Good to see The Dillinger Escape Plan up on your list. A top 3 metalcore band of all time for me. Trivium and As I Lay Dying are my top 2.
Nazareth's Razamanaz, Loud and Proud, and Rampant, all produced by Roger Glover.
The last three DP albums (excluding the covers album) are a perfect trio - Now What?! Infinite and Whoosh. Peter Hammill - Chameleon, The Silent Corner ... and In Camera; his sound changes significantly with the next album Nadir's Big Chance.
Peter has a few trilogies. I went with pH7, A Black Box and Sitting Targets. I think there's a few you can make of some albums after Roaring Forties.
I thought about including PH in my comment. The exact same Chameleon to In Camera trilogy. Somehow I resisted, I felt that In Camera is somewhat standalone, much more eclectic than Chameleon and The Silent Corner.
@@aldebaran4154 I also thought about this. pH7 and Sitting Targets really go well together. But A Black Box for me seems to be the odd one here. Those short songs are quite experimental (they almost would go well with The Future Now actually) and Flight epic is also something unique. And from the subjective perspective, I really love pH7 and especially Sitting Targets, but somehow I listen to A Black Box quite rarely.
Nursery Crime, Foxtrot and Selling England are the trio that meld. Trespass is such a different album in sound, theme and even lineup.
Thanks, Martin, for the Iggy trio. Just saw him a couple days ago here in Victoria.....killer show. He only played Five Foot One and the Endless Sea off of New Values.....nothing off Soldier or Party. So not complaining.
Moxy, Moxy II and Ridin' High!
Queen 2, Sheer Heart Attack, Night at the Opera.
I'd pick the first three Living Colour records. Still woefully underrated.
Collideoscope wasn’t a bad album but it sounded to me like they hadn’t worked through their reuniting bugs.
Agree on first two albums although I should give the third a try again...:been years
@@30yearsoldiam1 Doug Wimbish and Vernon's interplay on 'Stain' is incredible.
I love the first 3 albums but they're all very different.
Darkthrone; A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under A Funeral Moon, Transilvanian Hunger
Running Wild; Port Royal, Death Or Glory, Blazon Stone
Y&T; Earthshaker, Black Tiger, Mean Streak
In terms of album covers and the line-up, the self-titled album, Rumours and Tusk from Fleetwood Mac.
Some may not quite agree with tusks even though it was a double album
It doesn't rank real high on a lot of people's lists there seems to be a lot of filler in a lot of stuff all over the board.
If it's good for you that's fine but I'm just saying
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist I didn't say in terms of how successful they were, of course that would be just the self-titled album and Rumours, I said in terms of ALBUM COVERS and the LINE-UP.
@@aidanhatton7163 ok
Two of my favourite trilogies: darkthrones black metal trilogy (blaze in the northern sky, under a funeral moon, transylvanian hunger) and frank zappas trilogy we're only in it for the money, lumpy gravy and civilization phase 3
Chick Corea : The Leprechaun, My Spanish Heart, The Mad Hatter
Always enjoy hearing Martin’s take on the Good Ol’ Grateful Dead.
For fans of the Dead, Ratdog Evening Moods is essential. Bobby's best.
@@roblake9856 I’ll have to check that one out. Off to see Bobby and Willie next Friday at Pine Knob.
I'm going for the obvious: Let There Be Rock / Powerage / Highway To Hell - a band in their prime, churning out one killer track after another, with a lead singer that oozed street-cred and good friendly violent sleaziness. In my book, these three albums are what AC/DC was and is all about. Brian Johnson? "Cmon Dave, gimme a break."
Ghost - first 3 albums
All have that quirky hammer horror like feel .
Defo a different era of the band with its own vibe
Helloween - Walls Of Jericho, Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 1, and Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 2
Dokken- Tooth And Nail, Under Lock &Key, and Back For The Attack
Def Leppard - On Through The Night, High N Dry, and Pyromania
Riot- Fire Down Under, Restless Breed, and Born In America
Accept- Restless And Wild, Balls To The Wall, and Metal Heart
I disagree with you about Accept. "Restless and Wild" is pure heavy metal, very raw and dirty, but starting with "Balls" they softened their sound moving towards a more commercial and accessible music, this record doesn't sound nearly as heavy and gritty as "Restless" did. That said I think the perfect trilogy from Accept would be "Balls to the Wall", "Metal Heart" and "Russian Roulette". These three albums sound completely the same, you can switch tracks from one record to another and nothing really changes.
GONG - Flying Teapot trilogy
The first 3 Raven albums - Rock Until You Drop, Wiped Out and All for One.
I always see Savatage's Hall of the Mountain King, Gutter Ballet and Streets as a trio. The first 3 with Paul O'Neil, the last 3 before Zak joined. Great vid.
SWEET’s heavy era: Desolation Boulevard * Give Us a Wink * Off the Record
Porcupine Tree : In Absentia, Deadwing and Fear of a Blank Planet
Except I'm not feeling much difference with The Incident.
@@MartinPopoff The Incident has some similarities with the 3 others, but I guess it hasn't aged well with me. That's why I don't see it in this trifecta.
Speaking of their Genesis pick, I think a hugely underrated album is And then there were three. It never seems to get the credit I think it deserves. I haven't listened to the whole show yet. But I'm gonna say Aerosmith, get ur wings, toys in the attic, Rocks
King Crimson: Indiscipline, Beat & Three Of A Perfect Pair
Yellowjackets: Four Corners, Politics & The Spin
Yes: The Yes Album, Fragile & Close To The Edge
Kraftwerk: Radioactivity, Trans Europe Express & The Man-Machine
Rush: 2112, A Farewell To Kings & Hempisheres
Love anytime Trespass from Genesis is mentioned. Severally under rated album.
It's funny how Martin has talked about his dislike of "Americana" type of bands, yet he makes an exception for The Grateful Dead. My Three Of A Perfect Pair picks would be KISS- "Lick It Up", "Animalize", and "Asylum" and SLAYER- "Reign In Blood", "South Of Heaven", and "Seasons In The Abyss".
