The Four Album Run

Scores of artists have had the opportunity to release a great album; some have been inspired enough to put out two of 'em back to back. But when you get to three consecutive records your wading into choice territory. And a quartet of great albums in a row is, undoubtedly, big name real estate.

Here are 5 artists in alphabetical order who have managed to score a four leaf clover (notice the respective timespans and be further impressed): 

The Cure (1985-1992): 
Head on the Door, Disintegration, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, Wish

Guided By Voices (1994-1997): 
Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes, Under the Bushes Under the Stars, Mag Earwhig

Pink Floyd (1973-1979): 
Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall

The Rolling Stones (1969-1972):
Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main St.

* Stevie Wonder (1972-1976): 
Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness’ First Finale, Songs in the Key of Life

* [a case can be made for a five-album run]
