Your favorite 3 consecutive song run off one album?

[WildRanger]

Your pick(s)?

[Evermind]

Won't bother thinking about it, so here are the first three that immediately came to mind:

The Difference is Human - Where the Earth and Sky Meet - All a Man Can Do (Beyond the Bridge - The Old Man and the Spirit)
Drowning in the Flood - Sun - Celestial Elixir (Haken - Aquarius)
Twisted Mind - The Scarecrow - Shelter From the Rain (Avantasia - The Scarecrow)

[MirrorMask]

Twisted Mind - The Scarecrow - Shelter From the Rain (Avantasia - The Scarecrow)

With The Wicked Symphony, you can make it to six: The Wicked Symphony, Wastelands, Scales of Justice, Dying for an Angel, Blizzard on the Brokern Mirror and Runaway Train. Just wow.

[Grappler]

Trilogies make this easy.

Iced Earth - Gettysburg 1863 (The Devil to Pay / Hold at all Costs / High Water Mark)
Iced Earth - Something Wicked Trilogy (Prophecy / Birth of the Wicked / The Coming Curse)

As for regular album tracks:

Queensryche - Speak / Spreading the Disease / The Mission
Iron Maiden - Stranger in a Strange Land / Deja Vu / Alexander The Great

[The Walrus]

Oh there are lots of these. Off the top of my head...

1. Kings of Leon: The Face, The Immortals, Back Down South (Come Around Sundown)
2. Sonata Arctica: My Selene, Wildfire, White Pearl Black Oceans (Reckoning Night)
3. Guns N' Roses: Civil War, 14 Years, Yesterdays (Use Your Illusion II)
4. Guns N' Roses: Street of Dreams, If the World, There Was A Time (Chinese Democracy)
5. Explosions In The Sky: First Breath After Coma, The Only Moment We Were Alone, Six Days At The Bottom Of The Ocean (The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place)

And literally any 3-song run on Toto IV. Particularly the first three or last three because of Rosanna and Africa.

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Nobody should even bother with this until WildRanger provides his pick(s) and explains why.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

There’s plenty great ones, but one I’ve loved lately is The Architect —> Earthrise —> Red Giant from Haken’s Affinity.

[Evermind]

Nobody should even bother with this until WildRanger provides his pick(s) and explains why.

I actually thought of ignoring this thread but then I thought of that Haken run I posted and couldn't resist. But generally I agree with your idea.

[Lethean]

 I could do lots of these.

Starting with DT - how about The Glass Prison, Blind Faith, Misunderstood

Katatonia - Residual, Serac, Last Song Before the Fade

Threshold - Light and Space, Turn On Tune In, The Ravages of Time (also, any 3 song run from Legends of the Shires)

Leprous - Foe, Chronic, Coal

Angra - Sprouts of Time, Morning Star, Late Redemption

Rush - Distant Early Warning, Afterimage, Red Sector A (just for Stadler)

I could do lots more from those bands. 

[Stadler]

Lethean, you're killing me.  Though I would go with Tom Sawyer > Red Barchetta > YYZ

There really are too many to count here.   I think I could do one for every band I really like.

[Crow]

oceansize: trail of fire -> savant -> only twin
the hirsch effekt: lifnej -> xenophotopia -> natans

the two that immediately come to mind

[Samsara]

Queensryche - Breaking the Silence, I Don't Believe in Love, Eyes of a Stranger (I don't count the segues as "songs," per se, as they are simply segues.

That came immediately to mind. I need to think of others. Megadeth did too, but its only two (Holy Wars and Hangar 18).

[Lethean]

Lethean, you're killing me.  Though I would go with Tom Sawyer > Red Barchetta > YYZ

  No argument with that (or any number of Rush choices).

[The Walrus]

Rush - Power Windows

The Big Money
Grand Designs
The Manhattan Project
Marathon
Territories
Middletown Dreams
Emotion Detector
Mystic Rhythms

Any run in italics is perfection, but the bold is what I'd choose, gun to head.

[Indiscipline]

The magnificent seven, by memory hence I could misremember sequences or "cheat" joining sides A's and B's:

Time - The Great Gig in the Sky - Money (Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon)
Highway Star - Maybe I'm a Leo - Pictures of Home (Deep Purple, Machine Head)
I Want You (She's so Heavy) - Here Comes the Sun - Because (The Beatles, Abbey Road)
Hymn 43 - Locomotive Breath - Wind Up (Jethro Tull, Aqualung)
Running Free - Phantom of the Opera - Transylvania (Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden)
Ride the Lightning - For Whom the Bell Tolls - Fade to Black (Metallica, Ride the Lightning)
Author of Confusion - The Separated Man - Cradle to the Grave (Neal Morse, One)

Plenty more but I'd have to check tracking lists.

[Podaar]

Easy

Zomby Woof, Dinah-Moe Humm, Montana (Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention - Over-Nite Sensation)

[pg1067]

Rush - Hemispheres:  Either Hemispheres through The Trees or the three songs on side 2

Rush - Permanent Waves:  Side 1

Rush - Moving Pictures:  Tom Sawyer through YYZ or Red Barchetta through Limelight or YYZ through The Camera Eye

Iron Maiden - TNotB:  The Prisoner through the title track or 22 Acacia Av. through Run to the Hills

Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind:  Any 3 songs from Where Eagles Dare through The Trooper

Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance:  Title track through Fever or The Hellion/Electric Eye through Bloodstone

Asia - debut:  Without You through Here Comes the Feeling

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell:  any three songs from Neon Knights through Die Young

Black Sabbath - Mob Rules:  any three songs from Sign of the Southern Cross through Falling off the Edge of the World

Fates Warning - Perfect Symmetry:  Part of the Machine, Through Different Eyes and Static Acts

Fates Warning - Inside Out:  Down to the Wire, Face the Fear and Inward Bound/Monument (this is probably cheating)

Fates Warning - APSoG:  IX, X/XI and XII (although it is tracked separately, X isn't really a separate song as much as it is the intro to XI)

Styx - The Grand Illusion:  title track, Fooling Yourself and Superstars

Styx - Pieces of Eight:  Blue Collar Man, Queen of Spades and Renegade (or Queen of Spades through the title track)

Triumph - Allied Forces:  any three songs between Magic Power and ordinary man (counting Air Raid as part of the title track)

Triumph - Allied Forces:  Too Much Thinking, A World of Fantasy and A Minor Prelude/All the Way

Triumph - Thunder Seven:  side 2 (Midsummer's Daydream and Time Canon make it tough to pick a three song run, but this is one of the best album sides ever, so....)

[Nekov]

21st Century Schizoid Man - I Talk to the Wind - Epitaph (In the Court of the Crimson King)
The Black Forest - A Quiet Little Town - Black Sunday (The Black Forest)
The Way Home! - Numbered! - Awake! (Addicted!)
Lifting Shadows of a Dream - Scarred - Space-Dye Vest (Awake)
Gobbledigook - Inní mér syngur vitleysingur - Góðan daginn (Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust - Sigur Ros)

And cheating a little

Collapse the Light into Earth - Drown with Me - Chloroform (In Absentia)

[LordCost]

Was there an identical thread 2 months ago? I've already answered there that I would have picked the same songs of Parama for the album Frames by Oceansize.

[El Barto]

Nobody should even bother with this until WildRanger provides his pick(s) and explains why.

I don't understand this. Nor do I understand why that other thread was locked. I've appreciated many of the discussions that have been started by the guy's posts, and if he doesn't want to share his opinions why should I care? Many of us still do. What's wrong with somebody throwing out a subject for everybody to discuss?


edit: Oh, and the existence of 6 or so Rush albums makes this particular topic moot in my book.

[Crow]

for like the entire year he's been posting these threads almost daily but never contributing to them.
that's basically spam

Kind of. As EB said, some of them do develop into interesting conversations, others are just a waste of server space.

[Cool Chris]

I don't care if the thread originator doesn't contribute to his thread if it is an interesting one that generates good discussion. Some of his fit the bill, some don't.

I'm flabbergasted the "Favorite Faith No More song" thread currently has 30 replies. But if that shitty band is what people want to talk about, then who am I to judge.

Exactly. Today's topic doesn't work, again, rush, but tomorrow will be best album from '76, and that should generate some decent discussion. 

[Indiscipline]

21st Century Schizoid Man - I Talk to the Wind - Epitaph (In the Court of the Crimson King)

I'm going to burn in hell for forgetting about that.

[ChuckSteak]

Funeral, Bastard, The Death of Music

I could do a thousand but no time.

[Dave_Manchester]

My unhesitant answer is...

Dogs
Pigs
Sheep

...from my vote for the greatest album ever written, Pink Floyd's Animals.

[Crow]

Funeral, Bastard, The Death of Music

[KevShmev]

I answered this in a KevShmev thread months ago.

WildRanger clearly likes aping my thread ideas. 

What's that expression about flattery and imitation?

[lonestar]

First two that come to mind...
 

Marillion- Hotel Hobbies-That Time of the Night-Warm Wet Circles

IQ- Riker Skies-Province of the King-Closer (and honestly you could throw Stronger than Friction and One Fatal Mistake before it for a perfect five song run)

[LudwigVan]

Zeppelin - Houses of The Holy:

The Song Remains the Same
The Rain Song
Over the Hills and Far Away
