5-album streaks

[oldehamme]

I haven't seen this topic, so forgive me if I missed it somewhere.

I'm looking for examples of artists who have gone on streaks of five or more great consecutive studio albums. This is as tough as it sounds. Plenty of acts have gone on tears of three and four great albums in a row, but that fifth one is elusive. The Beatles never did it (their early run of LPs was interrupted by Beatles For Sale and their later streak was stopped at Magical Mystery Tour; I know the latter is immensely popular around here, but I'm referring to the original EP release, not the full LP version that collects their singles from 1967). The Rolling Stones came close during their run with producer Jimmy Miller, but then along came Goats Head Soup.

Here are the few 5-album streaks I could think of. Again, these are studio albums; if an act happened to release a live album or a greatest hits collection in the midst of one of these streaks, they don't count.

Talking Heads
1. Talking Heads '77
2. More Songs About Buildings and Food
3. Fear of Music
4. Remain in Light
5. Speaking in Tongues

Led Zeppelin
1. Led Zeppelin I
2. Led Zeppelin II
3. Led Zeppelin III
4. Led Zeppelin IV (or whatever you want to call it)
5. Houses of the Holy

Van Morrison
1. Astral Weeks
2. Moondance
3. His Band and the Street Choir
4. Tupleo Honey
5. St. Dominic's Preview

Creedence Clearwater Revival
1. Creedence Clearwater Revival
2. Bayou Country
3. Green River
4. Willy and the Poor Boys
5. Cosmo's Factory

Roxy Music
1. Roxy Music
2. For Your Pleasure
3. Stranded
4. Country Life
5. Siren

Elvis Costello (& the Attractions)
1. My Aim Is True
2. This Year's Model
3. Armed Forces
4. Get Happy!!
5. Trust

I think the best 5 album streak would have to be Dylan in the 60's:

The Times They Are A-Changin
Another Side of Bob Dylan
Bringing it All Back Home
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde

Sticking with the 60's, The Beatles:

Rubber Soul
Revolver
Sgt. Pepper
The White Album
Abbey Road

Then taking it to the past decade, the Drive-by Truckers:

Southern Rock Opera
Decoration Day
The Dirty South
A Blessing and a Curse
Brighter Than Creation's Dark

[revolver94]

David Bowie

Station to Station
Low
"Heroes"
Lodger
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)

Neil Young

Bruce Springsteen

Brian Eno

(I know Springsteen and Eno have 7 and 6, respectively, but I couldn't pick which ones to leave out.)
