Best 3 consecutive album tracks?

The medley on the second half of The Beatles Abbey Road is one of the finest consecutive runs for me, specifically from that bunch I would say the 3 best are

11) Mean Mr Mustard
12) Polythene Pam
13) She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
 
Pulp - Different Class:

3: Common People
4: I Spy
5: Disco 2000

Struggled with this one; lots of "two bona fide classics followed by one, er, less so" even with my favourite/rated albums. But that Pulp trio is pretty difficult to dispute.
 
Boston (self titled)

1. More Than A Feeling
2. Peace of Mind
3. Foreplay/Long Time
4. Rock and Roll Band
5. Smokin'
6. Hitch a Ride
7. Something About You

Any combo of three = win!
 
Oasis- Definitely Maybe

3 Live Forever
4 Up In The Sky
5 Columbia

I considered that myself but Up In the Sky doesn't quite cut it. When in the mood for some BIOD drums I'd take Columbia->Supersonic->Bring It On Down over that.

You could make this more interesting by not allowing songs that were released as singles - literally three album-only tracks in a row. In which case my most recent would be:

Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind

2. Narcolepsy
3. Semi-Charmed Life
4. Jumper

Although I'd be happy with any three consecutive tracks off that album.

Yes I was vaguely considering some 3eb. I'll have to have a proper think for 3x non-singles tracks.

Bang on, although I'm going to top trump it with 7 :p

# "I Wanna Be Adored" – 4:52
# "She Bangs the Drums" – 3:42
# "Waterfall" – 4:37
# "Don't Stop" – 5:17
# "Bye Bye Badman" – 4:00
# "Elizabeth My Dear" – 0:59
# "(Song for My) Sugar Spun Sister" – 3:25

Pfft, too many people cheating. You can't have seven but I'll accept the first 3 :)

Killers Hot Fuss. I love the first 5.

1-3 or 3-5.

1.Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine
2.Mr Brightside
3.Smile Like You Mean It
4.Somebody Told Me
5.All These Things That I've Done

2-4 would be my choices.

Lifehouse, No Name Face
10 - Quasimodo
11 - Somewhere in between
12 - Everything

Good choice, reminded me to put some Lifehouse on for the first time in a couple of years.
 
Fall Out Boy - From Under The Cork Tree

3. Dance, Dance
4. Sugar, We're Goin Down
5. Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner

:o
 
Stone Roses and Oasis have already been picked.

Nine Inch Nails
1. "Mr. Self Destruct"
2. "Piggy"
3. "Heresy"
4. "March of the Pigs"
5. "Closer"
6. "Ruiner"
7. "The Becoming"
8. "I Do Not Want This"

If it had to be 3 I'd say... errr 4-6.

The Mars Volta
De Loused in the Comatorium
1.Son et Lumiere" 1:35
2. "Inertiatic ESP" 4:24
3. "Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)"

Altough 1 is more of an intro to 2...
 
either a) Eagles - Hotel California
1. Hotel California
2. New Kid in Town
3. Life in the Fast Lane

or b) Def Leppard - Hysteria
5. Pour Some Sugar on Me
6. Armageddon It
7. Gods of War
