Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist

There are periods where an artist or a group reach a creative peak and release a series of consecutive albums that are all masterpieces. These are an artists' Golden Age. Just curious, but what do you consider the golden age records of your favorite artists. Must be consecutive and "Greatest Hits" not allowed.

My fav is Stevie Wonder from:

Music of the Mind
Talking Book
Innervision
Forfillingness First Finale
Songs In the Key of Life

Five incredible albums in four years.

Curbach

I was going to list the Kinks and Yes as well
but thought there was a down album in the middle of some greats - like Tales of Topographic Oceans

Onhwy61, in that case please accept my apologies. Sometimes I'm a little dense. Great thread!

One would have to forward Miles Davis, but it would be more like 25 albums in a row, not five. Not enough room here to list them all.
