Camel- 1973-1977 - 5 albums I think are great, I add Breathless to those 5.
 Marillion - Script to Seasons End. IQ - Ever to present day, that's 7 albums including the re-working og Seven Stories into Eight/98. Dream Theater - 1989-1999 Kansas - debut to POKR and many others...

As I understand it, Pictures was a leftover project from Emerson's tenure with The Nice (who notably reinterpreted several classical works), and maybe he just wanted to move on without ELP becoming The Nice II. Lake may have had something to say about this too, as being their main songwriter as opposed to Emerson's composer focused approach. [On a side note, Argent had a similar conflict of interests between Rod Argent and Russ Ballard.]

In Pink Floyd's case, if we are to ignore the soundtrack stuff (as suggested earlier in the thread, with which I agree as soundtracks are made to order, and within a time constraint) then I'd argue they were consistently good from PATGOD through to The Wall, with the lowest rating for that run of nine albums being 3.48 (Ummagumma), which is arguably pretty darned good. [I would argue that the Final Cut is deserving of a higher rating too, but it is such a divisive topic amongst Floyd fans in particular, and prog fans in general, I'll leave that argument out of it.]

Triumvirat (Mediterranean Tales, Illusions On A Double Dimple, Spartacus, Old Loves Die Hard, Pompeii)

Mostly Autumn, who pass the five album test with flying colours with 25 five-star albums to their credit in a row.
 Also, a worthy mention for Eloy, having just finished listening to their entire discography.

That's pretty good considering they only have 14 studio albums listed in PA, and only one of them is rated over 4 stars (and that one only has 1 rating).

They're fine, a nice band, I find it somewhat hard to believe that even their most rabidly psychotic fanboy thinks that every single release is an essential masterpiece.

Definitely IQ, from Ever, through Subterranea, The Seventh House, Dark Matter, Frequency and Road Of Bones😎
Actually, for me, it would be from Tales From The Lush Attic through to Road Of Bones, as I love the Menel albums too. So that's 10 in a row! It's a shame about Resistance.... |

I agree, there is no way that there is anyone in the history of music that has released 25 consecutive albums that can be classified as "masterpieces".

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

How about Kansas?
Kansas ~ 4.00 Song For America ~ 4.14 Masque ~ 3.66 Leftoverture ~ 4.22 Point Of Know Return ~ 4.17 and indeed if they put out two more highly rated albums they'll have a second streak of five starting with 2000's Somewhere To Elsewhere.
