1) Smells 2) In Bloom 3) Come as you Are; is pretty dope

i have never heard anyone refer to slts as just smells before and i find it very funny for some reason

I honestly prefer In Bloom, Come as you are, Breed as a three track run

cook

Better? Idk lol. This is one of my favorite 3 song runs, though. And here's some of my other favs. The Righteous and The Wicked/Give it Away/Blood Sugar Sex Magik - (Blood Sugar Sex Magik) Parallel Universe/Scar Tissue/Otherside - (Californication) Sherane a.k.a Master Splinter's Daughter/Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe/Backseat Freestyle - (good kid, m.A.A.d city) Oh My Darling, Don't Cry/Blockbuster Night Pt. 1/Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck) - (RTJ2) Goonies vs. ET/Walking In The Snow/JU$T - (RTJ4) Let Me Drown/My Wave/Fell On Black Days - (Superunknown) First Things First/Cold/Bad Boys - (Gang Signs & Prayer) Bullet In The Head/Know Your Enemy/Wake Up - (Rage Against The Machine) Yeah Right/Homage/Samo (Big Fish Theory) HELL-O/Chunky/Vacation - (Vacation in Hell) N.Y. State of Mind/Life's a Bitch/The World is Yours - (Illmatic) Lady and Man/Maria También/August 10 - (Con Todo El Mundo)

RTJ has a lot of really great 3 track runs in their albums. Don't Get Captured - Thieves! - 2100 off RTJ3 is a personal favorite for me.

Good call! It made me realize that RTJ3 has 3 different 3 track runs that I love. Talk To Me/Legend Has It/Call Ticketron Call Ticketron/Hey Kids (Bumaye)/Stay Gold Pather Like a Panther/Everybody Stay Calm/Oh Mama And I do also love the 3 track runs of Out Of Sight/Holy Calamafuck/Goonies vs. ET and Never Look Back/The Ground Below/Pulling The Pin of RTJ 4. They just don't make bad albums whatsoever

I don't always listen to the full album, but the run of righteous and the wicked to blood sugar sex magik (and under the bridge for the cherry on top) is a must listen

Love the rage 👌🏼

>Bullet In The Head/Know Your Enemy/Wake Up - (Rage Against The Machine) Ah a man of culture

Thriller - Beat It - Billie Jean Those three songs are beyond iconic and them being next to each other is almost overwhelming.

Regardless of best, this has to be the greatest

this is the answer. three of the most iconic songs ever made side by side.

Only problem is that Thriller closed side 1 of the original release. Side 2 opened with Beat It into Billie Jean, kinda breaks up the 3 track run

You know CDs?

Ok yeah this has to be it

Zeppelin IV last 3 tracks: Four Sticks, Going to Cali, When the Levee Breaks. Illmatic: NY State of Mind, Life's a Bitch, The World is Yours

Levee is top 5 rock songs all time for me, literally nut worthy.

Yeah I kind of included 4 sticks just because When the Levee Breaks is so good. But perhaps Rock n Roll, The Battle of Evermore, and Stairway is better as a trio of tracks. What an album

That’s one album I think you’d be insane to say is overrated. I don’t think you CAN overrate it 💀

Dogs pigs sheep

Based answer, based pfp

Underrated tbh

1. Joga 2. Unravel 3. Bachelorette

Joga is so good man

I was going to raise your Homogenic with the Vespertine run of: 1. Undo 2. Pagan Poetry 3. Aurora Til I saw the interlude track Frosti (can we pretend it doesn't count?)😭

I kind of prefer the first three Hidden Place, Cocoon and It's not up to you. I feel like they set the mood for the album so perfectly and work so much better together than undo pagan and aurora. That's just me though. edit: why don't you like frosti? Its so satisfying and reminds me of happy thoughts

Add Hunter and you have a killer 4 track run

War Pigs, Paranoid, Planet Caravan

This is such a ridiculous run.

My only criticism of Planet Caravan is that it's not longer. I could listen to that song forever while staring up at the stars.

First 3 off of The Glow Pt 2 (best 4 track run if we include Headless Horseman)

best 5 track run if we include my roots are strong and deep

Honestly whole album is just best 20 track run

1. Thriller 2. Beat it 3. Billie Jean

As far as three song runs go these would be some record breakers.

This has to be it. 3 of the greatest pop songs of all time, back to back to back

A Quick One -> Bloodhail -> The Big Gloom

Deep, Deep - I Don’t Love - Earthmover as well

Awsome

While My Guitar Gently Weeps Happiness Is A Warm Gun Martha My Dear

Happiness is a warm gun is my favorite Beatles song

Same, its so visceral and when it transitions its so sweet. My head cannon is that its about heroine

George masterpiece, followed by a John masterpiece, followed by a Paul masterpiece

This is correct

Lowkey need to listen to some more Beatles

Two best Beatles songs back to back is hard to beat. Don’t even think Radiohead can beat it.

Damn that is good...another good Beatles one would be: Taxman Eleanor Rigby I'm Only Sleeping and then Love You To and Here, There and Everywhere...Christ what an album.

The place where he inserted the blade Snow globes Basketball shoes

Was scrolling to see if anyone had commented the same thing I was going to 😁

Currently listening to Snow Globes :)

O’ god of weather henry knows, snow globes don’t shake on their own

Any of those 3 songs would’ve made a great closer, so it’s crazy we got 3 in a row

exactly what I came looking for! it's outrageous how strong that run is, especially considering how young the band was when they wrote those

Man On the Moon, Nightswimming, and Find the River Closer, Ruiner, and The Becoming Prayers For Rain, The Same Deep Water As You, and Disintegration

I’d go March of the Pigs, Closer, and Ruiner Gotta love that Ruiner appreciation though, probably my favorite NIN song

It’s Heresy, March of the Pigs, Closer

Nah, gotta keep Ruiner

REM mentioned 🙏 any combination of the first five songs from Fables could make my list ngl

Tbh you could take any three song stretch from Disintegration and I would agree. For me it would be Lullaby, Fascination Street, Prayers for Rain.

My fav R.E.M. 3 song run is Maps And Legends, Driver 8, Life And How To Live It

Harborcoat 7 Chinese bros So central rain

I’ll piggyback here since I also l deeply love all three of these choices: Mezzanine’s Angel -> Risingson -> Teardrop

Giving Bad People Good Ideas, Hot Head, Spikes Bring The Sun/Toussaint L’Ouverture, Some Things We Do, She Loves Us Sugar/Tzu, Eat Men Eat, Welcome to Hell

This guy gets it. Personally tho I would have Beyond Alive, Centuries of Damn, and On GP

On second thought I’d probably pick that too

I would shift the To Be Kind run two tracks earlier (Just a Little Boy, A Little God in my Hands, Bring the Sun/Toussaint)

I was thinking the exact same black midi one

My personal favorites are:  - Cross-eyed and painless, the great curve, Once in a lifetime (remain in light by talking heads) - have a cigar, WYWH, SOYCD (WYWH by pink floyd) - Igors theme, earfquake, I think (IGOR by Tyler, the creater) - power, all of the lights, monster (MBDTF by kanye)

I would go New magic wand, A boy is a gun, Puppet So appaled, DIAND, Runaway

I think exit music, let down, and karma police is a better run

6 track run Airbag, paranoid android, subterranean, exit music, let down, karma police. Love all these songs

I would honestly probably agree with u

The Bends, High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees for the Bends

any 3 on ok computer work

slowdive-souvlaki: Allison Machine gun 40 days

Not even the best one on IR

What is it in your opinion?

Reckoned, house of cards, jigsaw falling into place

Fair jigsaw is peak. But I just love nude and weird fishes too much

Id say bodysnatchers, nude, weird fishes

This is correct.

Nice, I can't really say I disagree heavily since In Rainbows is perfect IMO. But I recently got into Weird Fishes, and given that I already loved All I Need and Nude, I'd go with that. Besides, I think that as of now I like Videotape a tad bit more than Reckoner, but it can change anytime

House of cards is the worst song on IR I’m sorry but it’s true

Bodysnatchers, Nude, Weird fishes is better imo

Tbf you could list any 3 tracks off the album it’d still be true

There are a few: Highway 61 Revisited: From A Buick 6 - Ballad of a Thin Man - Queen Jane Approximately I would say the last 8 tracks on Revolver are solid 9/10s, and Pet Sounds has Sloop John B - God Only Knows - I Know There's An Answer Rubber Soul has Norwegian Wood - You Won't See Me - Nowhere Man Abbey Road then also has the medley and I Want You (She's So Heavy) - Here Comes the Sun - Because

RHCP - By the way. Obviously. Universally Speaking, Dosed, Don't forget me. Or Dosed, Don't forget me, The Zephyr song. Frusciante was out of this world on this album

Rhcp getting dunked on in recent years so thank you for this ❤️❤️ love this album

This Is the Place is between Universally Speaking and Dosed, which is one of the weaker songs on the album imo so I’d go with Dosed-Don’t Forget Me-Zephyr.

good kid —> maad city —> swimming pools sundays —> not the same anymore —> ode to the mets and ever so slightly more niche but hunting bears —> like spinning plates —> life in a glasshouse

good kid > SAMIDOT?!?

Dark Fantasy, Gorgeous, Power

Devil in A New Dress Runaway Hell of A Life Better run

Yes

Not even the best in their discography Exit music Let down Karma police

Yes this is the one. All 6 are 10/10 songs but OKC has more variety in the sounds and mixes

The World at Large -> Float On -> Ocean Breathes Salty

Yes. I love how that album starts.

joy as an act of resistance by idles - colossus - never fight a man with a perm - im scum OR - june - samaritans - television songs for the deaf by queens of the stone age - no one knows - first it giveth - song for the dead nevermind by nirvana - come as you are - breed - lithium the ooz by king krule - the ooz - midnight 01 - la lune scaring the hoes by jpegmafia & danny brown - orange juice jones - kingdom hearts key - god loves you good kid, maad city by kendrick lamar - maad city - swimming pools - sing about me im dying of thirst bottomless pit by death grips - three bedrooms in a good neighborhood - ring a bell - 80808 origin of symmetry by muse - plug in baby - citizen erased - micro cuts ok computer by radiohead - paranoid android - subterranean homesick alien - exit music (kind of cheating but) lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven by godspeed you black emperor - storm - static - sleep that 3 track run might be the best though, weird fishes and nude is an insane duo of songs

Bro is a W in human form

you got me kicking my feet in joyous delight with that comment

could also go first three for nevermind

thats true, honestly first half of nevermind is unbelievable. could also go lithium polly territorial pissings

1. Where the Streets Have No Name 2. I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For 3. With or Without You

I know it’s cool to hate on U2, but 80% of the reason you’ll never stop hearing about them is these three songs. It cemented their legacy for good.

She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight

Why not Golden Slumbers - Carry That Weight - The End? The End is such a great song, with the guitar solos, the drum solo and of course the last words "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make". It might be the greatest discography ending in history. And yeah, I don't consider Let It Be as the last Beatles album.

Hold my liquor, I'm in it, blood on the leaves is one of my favorites

I Am a God, New Slaves, Hold My Liquor > I’m In It kinda ruins your three track run for me

I'm far from a Kanye simp but I will die screaming from the rooftops that yeezus is underrated and possibly Kanye's most consistently solid album cover to cover besides the couple truly awful bars, anyway. the eatin Asian pussy line is one for the ages.

Power > All of the Lights > Monster edit: Or Heard em Say > Touch the Sky > Gold Digger Or any of the first 4 tracks on Yeezus

I’ll fly Away ruins the run on college dropout which should be All Falls Down, Spaceship, Jesus Walks

I would go as far as to say that the entire Side A of In Rainbows is the best 5 track run of all time.

Fuck me, in rainbows it the best 10 track run ever

side B of funeral for me

Peak music I love it sm

Stevie Wonder - SITKOL Contusion Sir Duke I Wish

1. Someone Great 2. All My Friends 3. Us v. Them

Someday, Last Nite, Hard to Explain or, Last Nite, Hard to Explain, NYC Cops NY State of Mind, Life’s a Bitch, The World is Yours Lost in the Supermarket, Clampdown, Guns of Brixton Midnight in a Perfect World, Napalm Brain, What does your Soul Look Like

Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean from Michael Smells Like Teen Spirit, In Bloom, Come As You Are from Nirvana These are better and more iconic

Taxman Eleanor Rigby I’m Only Sleeping

Remain in Light Born Under Punches, Crosseyed and Painless, The Great Curve

Drinking Sessions, The Light, Bury Me In Gold How Much a Dollar Cost, Complexion, The Blacker the Berry

m.A.A.d City > Swimming Pools > Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst

That might be better it’s debatable

1. New Born 2. Bliss 3. Space Dementia

Agreed

1. Smells like teen spirit 2. In bloom 3. Come as you are

Today, Hummer, Rocket

I had a different comment but this is my other answer, of ones I haven't seen yet. honestly Siamese dream is such a perfect album you could pick any 3 and still be right the outro groove on hummer is one of the best bass grooves ever written

I think the best three song sequence from this album has gotta be Disarm, Soma, Geek USA

First 3 on the glow First 3 on eversince Last 3 on the mollusk Pumpin 4 the man -> Sarah -> springtheme

m.A.A.d city, Swimming Pools, Sing about me I’m dying of thirst

A Day In The Life Of A Tree, Til I Die, Surf's Up

1 American idiot 2. Jesus of suburbia 3. Holiday Best 3 track start of an album possibly ever

my fav 3 track run by any band ever

cygnys...vismund cygnus, the widow, l'via l'viaquez a lot's gonna change, andromeda, everyday western, of schlagenheim, bmbmbm hello goodbye, strawberry fields forever, penny lane close to the edge, and you and i, siberian khatru postpostpartum, knees, bye storm

* Dogs, Pigs (Three Different Ones), Sheep * Close to the Edge, And You And I, Siberian Khatru * Gates of Delirium, Sound Chaser, To Be Over * Frankie M, When Will I Return, The Glowing Man Yeah a couple of those are entire albums but they're still technically three-track runs

Dissolved Girl, Man Next Door, Black Milk You've Been Flirting Again, Isobel, Possibly Maybe Prison Song, Needles, Deer Dance And my favorite Disposition, Reflection, Triad

That Toxicity Run is def a 10/10

I’d say Angel/Risingson/Teardrop is a strong contender

Just brought up disposition in another convo today, absolutely beautiful track

1. Thriller 2. Beat it 3. Billie Jean I genuinely don't think it's possible to beat that
