You can read, right?
Yes I can...if you want me to list some, there are too many to list but I'll just mention the Beatles with Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be. David Bowie with The Man Who Sold The World, Hunky Dory and The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, Pink Floyd with Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall...Radiohead with The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail To The Thief and In Rainbows. All way better offerings than what that whiny singing hippie ever produced.
Satisfied?

Nice.
I will throw out Radiohead, who've had a couple of impressive runs.
The Bends
OK Computer
Kid A
Followed by...
Amnesiac
Hail To The Thief
In Rainbows
I actually really like their more recent stuff too but it is definitely more of an acquired taste than the early stuff, which had a more pop vibe.
A couple jazz three-album runs that are noteworthy from the masters.
Miles Davis
Kind of Blue
Sketches of Spain
Quiet Nights
John Coltrane
Blue Train
Giant Steps

I would shift the beatles one...one more forward.
Rubber soul is only saved by in my life. Nevertheless, you cannot beat magical mystery tour.

Kanye: Graduation -> 808s & Heartbreak -> MBDTF
Kendrick: GKMC -> TPAB -> DAMN.
The Weeknd: House Of Balloons -> Thursday -> Echoes Of Silence (they're all mixtapes but I'm still counting it)
Travis Scott: Days Before Rodeo -> Rodeo -> BITTSM (Birds wasn't amazing imo but DBR and Rodeo more than make up for it)

Excellent stuff. Any Pink Floyd list has to revolve around Animals for me, one of my single favorite albums by anyone, ever (and somehow one of their least generally popular).
Black Sabbath ... nice.
I am not the biggest fan of rap especially the stuff coming out nowadays but:
Nas
Illmatic
It Was Written
Stillmatic
Wu Tang
36 Chambers
Wu Tang Forever
The W
Bob Dylan was mentioned, but I'd go Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde ... and my favorite Dylan album is Blood on the Tracks but that was in-between some of his more mediocre work.

Nas released 2 other albums between It Was Written and Stillmatic (and they weren't very good)

Pretty much agree with a lot of these but for me, Iron Maiden should be Killers, Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind and Powerslave. Judas Priest should include Defenders Of The Faith, Point Of Entry is the weakest of those albums you mentioned.

I Am... was so forgettable I completely scrapped it from my mind. I was thinking Nastradamus came after Stillmatic. I didn't think that one was as bad, though definitely not on the level of his first two or Stillmatic.

1980-1990 is my favorite Priest era in general. A lot of radio-friendly songs as well head-banging classics. I love POE though. Two of my favorite Priest songs in Highway and Desert Plains.
Saw Priest earlier this year and they played a lot off of Turbo and Ram It Down.
My second favorite Priest era is 2005-Present. Angel of Retribution is amazing.

By the already mentioned:
Definately DSOTM to Animals for Pink Floyd. I don't enjoy The Wall as much. I think it's contrived and pretentious, the classics are still great songs.
Aladdin Sane is my fav album by Bowie so any triplet has to include it. Berlin trilogy is great, too.
Beatles are tough. If you count Magical as an album it works out kind of, but I think Sgt, White Album and Abbey Road are their strongest.
Some not mentioned:

I love Priest's 70's era, Sad Wings Of Destiny is one of my all time favorite metal albums, check out Victim of Changes, holy shit is prime Rob Halfords maybe the GOAT metal vocalist right there with Ronnie J Dio :bowdown:
