Our Bands And Artists That Released Six Fantastic Albums In A Row marks a shift in the perfect series. We have eliminated the word perfect and replaced it with fantastic. The reason is simple: with the exception of just a handful of artists, it’s pretty hard to present long lists of artists that released six perfect albums in a row. However, many released six fantastic ones in a row. Although there are many we wish could have been on this list, many bands wound up releasing albums that were just two weak to include in the middle of a great run. Pink Floyd is a perfect example, as Obsured by Clouds was pretty weak compared to what came before and after it. The same goes for Stevie Wonder, who had two weak albums in the middle of a very long run of fantastic records. If a band released a significant live album, we included it in the run. As always, there are a few bands that made it tough to choose where to start and end, like Led Zeppelin, because just about every album they released was more than just fantastic; they were perfect. Oh no, there’s that word again.
The Beatles
How could we not start this one with the Beatles? We are sticking with the UK Issues, which were official Beatles studio album releases.
