The Kevster Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 It's gotta be Joy Division: "Warsaw" (1978 - availble as a boot) "Unknown Pleasures" (1979 - debut album proper) "Closer" (1980) To be honest, it's only the second two that show "remarkable creativity" but taken together these three show a quite unprecedented development.

Big Klu Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Genesis: From Genesis To Revelation - Trespass - Nursery Cryme. Ohhell yea.

GetTheLedOut Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 GN'R Appetite--->GN'R Lies--->Use Your Illusion I/II Half of lies was recorded before Appetite, so I don't know if that counts. Appetite to the UYI albums is a big step though, you couldn't have had November Rain on their debut album, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaztor (slight return) Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I want to add: The Beatles: Help! - Rubber Soul - Revolver. David Bowie: David Bowie - Space Oddity - The Man Who Sold The World. Ohhell yea. But really you couldnt go wrong with any group of 3 albums until the The Lamb somethingsomething on Broadway. Trespass is pretty good, so the gap between that one and Nursery Cryme isn't that big, although there was a significant change in the line-up inbetween those. The debut, I think, is pretty bad and nothing compared to the other 2. I've always seen Trespass as their proper debut. Hey Joel, this lot is debatable, definate change in style between 2nd and 3rd but improvement??? In the court of the crimson king In the wake of posiedon Lizard Would prefer Larks tongues in aspic Starless and bible black Red I think KC have always been quite constant. The most significant change in sound, I think, is Islands - Larks' Tongues In Aspic. I think Islands is rather weak as well. Their other albums are a lot better.

Yea, the debuts crap...which means they reeeeeally progressed according to the 3 album theory. Sorta like an anti-Van Halen. Islands weak? Thems fightin' words!
