Best 3 consecutive album tracks?

[Big Chris]

But that Pulp trio is pretty difficult to dispute.

Well, since Pulp are truely awful, it's actually very easy to dispute.

Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine

5 "Bullet in the Head"
6 "Know Your Enemy"
7 "Wake Up"

Agreed, although I could quite happily list the whole album from track 1-10.

 

[simpletom]

Hmmmm... off the top of my head:

Spiritualised: Ladies and Gentlement, We Are Floating In Space.

1. Ladies and Gentlement, We Are Floating In Space.
2. Come Together.
3. I Think I'm In Love.

 

[Bubo]

If only they'd put "Straight To Hell" after "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" and "Rock the Casbah", instead of "Red Angel Dragnet", it would have been a no brainer. So I will have to go with:

The Clash - Combat Rock

1. Car Jamming
2. Should I Stay Or Should I Go
3. Rock the Casbah

 

[Gustov]

Racer X- Second Heat

2. Gone Too Far
3. Scarified
4. Sunlit Nights

 

[lee32uk]

EDIT: Surely if you're going to mention the Strokes it's got to be Last Night, Hard to Explain and When it Started off Is This It?

Reptilia is my fav track, so no

 

[chrisd]

Visions of Johanna
One of us must know
I want you

 

[RoachycaL]

Metallica - Ride the lightning

3.For whom the bell tolls
4.Fade to black
5.Trapped under ice

I would change it myself...

2. ride the lightning
3. for whom the bell tolls
4. fade to black

 

[Nitefly]

Racer X- Second Heat

2. Gone Too Far
3. Scarified
4. Sunlit Nights

Steady, they barely have three good tracks, let alone three in a row

But, if you put a gun to my head:

Viking Kong
Time Before the Sun
OHB

 

[Bevysters]

From Hoorey For Boobies by The Bloodhound Gang

4. Three Point One Four
5. Mope
6. Yummy Down On This

1. From Out of Nowhere
2. Epic
3. Falling to Pieces

incorrect.

4. surprise! you're dead!
5. zombie eaters
6. the real thing.

 

[SteveOBHave]

incorrect.

4. surprise! you're dead!
5. zombie eaters
6. the real thing.

LOL - each to their own I guess. Zombie Eaters is an epically good song as is the Real thing - Surprise! Your Dead! was never a fav tho.

 

[ianh]

Cardigans - Gran Turismo
#Paralysed

If you've got this song you MUST play it on a system with a Subwoofer, there's a hidden bass track on the song which can only be heard with a sub. We used it as a Demo disc to test sub's until we tested a Yamaha YST-SW800 and the track brought down the false ceiling and several lighting units!

For my 3 it's got to be

KillSwitch Engage - The End of Heartache

02 - Take this Oath
03 - When Darkness Falls
04 - Rose of Sharyn

[MarcLister]

killers - hot fuss any from the first five, if i were pushed


#1 Jenny Was a Friend of Mine
#2 Mr. Brightside
#3 Smile Like You Mean It

Good call.

also from queen greatest hits II

#1 Its a Kind of Magic
#2 Under Pressure
#3 Radio Ga Ga

Not so good a call. See quote below. I agree with your choice, those first three tracks are a fabulous introduction to the Queen's Greatest Hits II but it isn't a proper studio album.

It must be a 'proper' album i.e. single artist, no greatest hits or other compilation albums allowed.

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

Mean Mr Mustard is my favourite Beatles song. Awesome choice that. Although I do love the Beatles' stuff I've got to stay true to my all time favourite band, Queen.

The Game is the album and the three in a row are:

1. Play The Game
2. Dragon Attack
3. Another One Bites The Dust.

What a start to an album.

It's Agadoo isn't it.

No....I've got it, Scissor Sisters!

Nowt wrong with Scissor Sisters.

Come on fess up ya big girl.

I'm intrigued now.

Queen, gotta be.

Or Queen!
