two off the dome from new orleans with 6-album runs:
The Meters:
S/T
Look Ka Py Py
Struttin
Cabbage Alley
Rejuvenation
Fire on the Bayou
Dr. John:
Gris Gris
Babylon
Remedies
Sun, Moon & Herbs
Gumbo
In the Right Place
Desitively Bonnaroo
(I would even throw Hollywood Be Thy Name in there)
it's hard to make 6 really good albums in a row though!
which of those artists in the original list should be removed?
Art of Tea
Sleeping Gypsy
Burchfield Nines
Tiger in the Rain
One Bad Habit
I Don't Want to be Alone Stranger
Aint That a Bitch
Funk Beyond the Call of Duty
Real Mother For Ya
Giant
What the Hell is This
Love Jones
I suspect few on the above list can match
Dirty Mind
Controversy
1999
Purple Rain
Sign o The Times
Black Album
Or
Where I'm Coming From
Music of My Mind
Talking Book
Innervision
Fullfillingnesss
Songs In The Key Of Life
You can add James Brown to what Willie Fugal said about jazz.
"I left off jazz, as that would blow it wide open with John Coltrane, Charles Mingus and Miles Davis for starters."
Ethiopian Knights
Street Lady
Black Byrd
Places and Spaces
Stepping Into Tomorrow
Mastodon has six albums already? I feel like they've been gradually petering off ever since Leviathan.
Nação Zumbi is a stretch IMO. Just looking at brazilian musicians, Jorge Ben had a much longer and impressive run of albums from '63 to '76. Gal Costa had a pretty solid run too, and Os Novos Baianos' first six albums make for a pretty good run.
Maybe Brian Eno with his run up to Music for Airports deserves a place?
I think Eddie Palmieri has a solid six album run somewhere in his discography.
and
GTFOOWTBS
singles and albums from 1991-2001/2007(?)
6 albums, 30+ singles and EPs, 200+ unreleased tracks given away for free on soundcloud from this era... and this doesn't include all of the side projects under different names.
Next in the sequence is Lovesexy which I am not really a fan of. Comparatively.
I would go the other direction and add his first 2.
And GSH
Sade
Definitely Z-Ro as you could go for any six from
Lil Wayne maybe?
Ghostface comes undone at More Fish but I would probably nominate him anyway.
I'd chuck in Oukast if you split Speakerboxx/Love Below but that's clutching at straws.
I feel like I'm missing some obvious ones.
it's hard enough to find rap acts that has made 6 albums.
If mixtapes counts i think a strong case could be made for lil wayne.
