    if jellyfish had stayed together long enough for a 3rd album, i'm sure they woulda made the list, cuz "bellybutton" and "spilt milk" are both FANTASTIC.

    lots of good ones there, Mista..i could listen to "There's nothing wrong with love" over and over and over again.

    I am kind of have a soft spot for earlier Flaming Lips... so i would have gone with..

    In A Priest Driven Ambulance (1990)
    HIt To Death in the Future Head (1992)
    Tansmissions From The Satellite Heart (1993)

    I'll add two others:

    Yo La Tengo


    Painful (1993)
    Electr-o-Pura (1995)
    I Can Hearth The Heart Beating As One (1997)

    Sigur Ros

    It is not easy to put a good string together.

    Stones Sticky/Exile/Beggars/Let it Bleed is four that are all incredible, if a bit narrow.

    I like the breadth of Wire's run from Pink Flag/Chairs Missing/154

    Hendrix from Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold as Love, Electric Ladyland

    Still, even without breadth, going from Ramones/Leave Home/Rocket to Russia/Road to Ruin is top fare and wildly influential

    Miles Davis first and second quintets had astounding runs, the former with Relaxin'/Cookin'/Workin'/Steamin' and, with the latter, Sorcerer/ESP/Neffertiti/Miles Smiles -- hell, from Ina Silent Way/******* Brew/Around the Corner is incredible

    The Stooges
    Funhouse
    Raw Power

    Flip Your Wig?
    Bossanova?
    A list for X which does not include Los Angeles?

    Okay.

    Afghan Whigs

    Gentlemen (1993)
    Black Love (1996)
    1965 (1998)

    You could even include '92s Congregation if you wanted, but it's not a personal favorite like the last 3.

    Man...or Astroman?

    Is It ... Man or Astroman? LP/CD (Estrus Records - 1993)
    Project Infinity LP/CD (Estrus Records - 1995)
    Intravenous Television Continuum LP/CD (One Louder Records - 1996) CD (US reissue: Au-Go-Go Records - 1997)
    Experiment Zero LP/CD (Touch & Go Records - 1996)
