Jimi has a chance to win the 3 album run sweepstakes. There was not a 4th.

I just don't think there's a 90s contender here with the exception of Radiohead if you're into them. They did have a pretty epic 3 or 4 album run. I'm just not super versed in that band and didn't feel comfortable including them.
All of the first 5 Beastie albums are legendary, but not really a true rock band.
Pearl Jam's first 3 albums are all essential but they didn't really stretch that into No Code (good but not great)
Nirvana had 2 great (studio) albums and a collection of B-Sides. The live album doesn't count here.
U-2 had 2 terrific albums, but the rest don't measure up to the task of being in this competition.
Weezer's 1st albums are top notch, but the rest aren't worthy of being in this pole.
REM had a great albums but I don't think they had 4 in a row.
I don't feel like Aerosmith had 4 classic albums in a row.

Led Zeppelin: 'Led Zeppelin III' (1970), 'Led Zeppelin IV' (1971), 'Houses of the Holy' (1973), 'Physical Graffiti' (1975) or any combo of the first 6 LZ Albums
The best modern-day 4 album run is courtesy of Muse.
Showbiz
Origin of Symmetry
Absolution
Black Holes & Revelations

Long Player - Faces
Every Picture Tells a Story - Rod Stewart
Nod is as good a wink - Faces
Never a Dull Moment - Rod Stewart
I changed my mind @RaceBannon and am putting Hot Rod on the list.

I'm taking screen shots!

The Beatles: 'Rubber Soul' (1965), 'Revolver' (1966), 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' (1967), 'The Beatles' (1968) (or Revolver to Abbey Road)
I think REM had a great run of good albums
When it comes to "alternative" bands, REM had a pretty solid run of decent records. I first heard of REM reading The Rocket and seeing who the "college bands" were in the back of Rolling Stone.
Life's Rich Pageant / Document / Green / Out of Time / Automatic for the People / Monster

AC/DC: 'Let There Be Rock' (1977), 'Powerage' (1978), 'Highway to Hell' (1979), 'Back in Black' (1980)
REM is the band most likely to have to punching people to change the station. I fucking can’t stand their music.
