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.

Spinal Tap:

Intravenus De Milo

The Gospel According To Spinal Tap ("This ponderous, pretentious collection of religious rock songs prompts the question: 'On what day of the week did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'")

Shark Sandwich

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!
