Just thought of another great three year run - Neil Young 1974-76. On The Beach, Tonight's The Night, Zuma AND Hitchhiker, not released until 2017, but recorded in 1976. Fantastic run, if you're a fan of Neil's music, pick up ANY of these! Hitchhiker is especially nice, all acoustic, all wonderful music.
And of course, The Beatles 1963-65. Please Please Me, With The Beatles. A Hard Day's Night, Beatles For Sale. Help! and Rubber Soul. WOW! SIX great albums in three years, this is PROBABLY the best three year run ever. Even better than Led Zeppelin 1969-71.

Personally I think The Beatles entire run is amazing. One of the only artists where i would say every album is brilliant.
Led Zeppelin's 69-71 is also an outstanding run
As for some more. I Love Prince's 84-86 run. (Purple Rain, Around The World In A Day, Parade)
I Also think Bowie's 71-73 run is amazing as well as his 77-79 Berlin Period
Anyone else find fondness for Elvis' 68-70 period (Elvis NBC, From Elvis To Memphis, From Memphis To Vegas/Back In Memphis) _________________ "I Wanna Take You To A Wasteland I Like To Call My Home"
Charles Mingus': Presents Charles Mingus --> Oh Yeah --> Blues and Roots --> Epitaph --> The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady
All 5 are better than a majority of the albums listed on this thread. Black Saint & the Sinner Lady is a masterpiece on the order of the greatest artistic achievements in the history of mankind.

I was just looking over this old thread, which is quite interesting.
Strangely, I think we missed The Velvet Underground 1967-1969:
Velvet Underground and Nico;
White Light/ White Heat
The Velvet Underground
How could we miss that-surely tops any other 3 year rock discography?
Also, a lot of singer-songwriters get mentioned but surprisingly none of them are Nick Drake!
Fives Leaves Left; Bryter Layter and Pink Moon all within three years (if you look at the months its July 1969 -Feb 1972 so it fits)
Orange Juice fit there entire album discography into a mighty three years (1982-1984):
You can't hide your love forever
Rip it Up
Texas Fever
The Orange Juice
A later one (again unmentioned) that joins the dots between all three of the above is Belle and Sebastian 1996-1998 when they produced all their most seminal work in a hurry:
Tigermilk
If you are feeling Sinsiter
The Boy with the Arab Strap
Along with the EPs:
Dog on Wheels
Lazy Line Painter Jane
