What Bands Complete the 5 Album Challenge? 

Death - complete discography streak

The Dickinson run from Number of the Beast to Seventh Son is the best 5 Album run ever.

I know this is your opinion piece, but saying that Sabbath don't meet the criteria for a 5 album run because you don't think Paranoid, their most important and acclaimed album, makes the cut...that's one of the most incredibly hipster hills I've ever seen anyone willing to die on.

queen has a 6 amazing albums from sheer heart attack to the game. all of them absolute bangers

In Flames: The Jester Race - Clayman Dark Tranquillity: The Gallery - Fiction Soilwork: Steebath Suicide - Stabbing the Drama

Justice is my #1 album of all time, I'd definitely count them

In my opinion, Megadeth has a five album run from Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? to Youthanasia. I almost added Disturbed, but both The Sickness and Asylum fall below great for me. Already mentioned my Nightwish take. I feel like there's at least one band that I'm missing that wasn't mentioned in the video. LOL

Running Wild - From "Port Royal" (1988) to "The Rivalry" (1988) - Thats 7 albums Virgin Steele - From "The Marriage..." (1994) to "The House Of Atreus II" (2000) - Thats 5 albums Blind Guardian - From "Follow The Blind" (1989) to "Nightfall..." (1998) - Thats also 5 albums

I know these are mainly metal bands but a band that i think definetly completes this challenge is Floyd. -Dark Side Of The Moon -Animals -The Wall -Wish You Were Here -Meddle And in my opinion metallica also made this challenge with the albums this guy chose 👍

IMO really good 5 album runs: Queensrÿche: -The Warning -Rage For Order -Operation: Mindcrime -Empire -Promised Land Iron Maiden: (Actually like all in this 7 album run bit I'd go for: -Number Of The Beast -Piece of Mind -Powerslave -Somewhere In Time -Seventh Son Judas Priest: -Rocka Rolla (Underrated album) -Sad Wings -Sin After Sin -Stained Class -Killing Machine -(Unleashed in the East) (Also I'm not a big fan of British Steel) Metallica: -Ride The Lightning -Master Of Puppets -And Justice For All -Black Album -Load (I absolutely love Load) Rush: -2112 -A Farewell to Kings (My 2nd fav album of all time) -Hemispheres -Permanent Waves -Moving Pictures Black Sabbath: -Eternal Idol -Headless Cross -TYR -Dehumanizer -Cross Purposes

I think Queen has also a 5 streak run, the first five albums. And also you can include News of the world, Jazz and The Game, being a 8 streak run. These albums are awesome

In my Opinion Overkill has also a excellent 5 Album run (from Feel the Fire to Horrorscope) , but I love all Overkill Albums.

Maiden had 7,Metallica 5,Slayer 5,Acdc 7,Queen 6, Sabbath 6,Zeppelin 7,Beatles 6

Radiohead. - The Bends. - OK Computer. - KID A/mnesia. - Hail To The Thief. - In Rainbows. They would’ve had a nearly perfect discography if it wasn’t for The King Of Limbs unfortunately releasing between In Rainbows and A Moon Shaped Pool. Also, disagreed on the …And Justice For All take. Almost all of those songs are the perfect length and are amazingly written, especially The Frayed Ends Of Sanity and Dyers Eve. They switch stuff up at just the right times, and it never feels boring outside of like, Eye Of The Beholder.

Opeth has 7

Pantera (from Cowboys from Hell to Reinventing the Steel), Freak Kitchen (from Appetizer to Move), Dream Theater (from Images & Words to Scenes from a Memory), Symphony X (from The Damnation Game to The Odyssey), Megadeth (from Rust in Peace to Cryptic Writings), Bumblefoot (from Hands to Abnormal), Frost* (from Milliontown to Day and Age), A.C.T (from Today's Report to Circus Pandemonium), Protest the Hero (from Kezia to Palimpsest), It Bites (from Once Around the World to Map of the Past), Opeth (from Blackwater Park to Watershed) Andromeda (from Extension of the Wish to Manifest Tyranny), The Dillinger Escape Plan (from Calculating Infinity to One of Us Is the Killer), Foo Fighters (from The Colour and the Shape to Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace), Iron Maiden (from The Number of the Beast to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son), Mats/Morgan (from Trends and Other Diseases to Thanks for Flying with Us), Periphery (literally their entire discography), Yngwie Malmsteen (from Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force to Eclipse).

i was honestly pleasantly surprised to see Gojira up in here, but i think their first 2 albums can also be considered great, albeit rawer and lower-budget as they are, definitely were both a great start for From Mars To Sirius to build upon. great video, brother :)

Also, Bolt Thrower, but that is an absolute streak no bad albums.

As much as I love Metallica, Iron Maiden has more albums that are good

The Yes Album Fragile Close to the Edge Tales from Topographic Oceans Relayer

Nine Inch Nails discography up to Year Zero. Cult Of Luna's entire discography. Rosetta's entire discography. The Smiths' entire discography (just 4 albums but all excellent). Alice In Chains' entire discography. Death's entire discography. Peter Murphy's Deep onwards. Tool's Undertow to Fear Inoculum. Bolt Thrower's discography except their debut. Devin Townsend up to Synchestra. The Cult's first six albums. Skyclad up to Folkémon. Killing Joke from Extremities, Dirt and Various Repressed Emotions up to Absolute Dissent. The Young Gods' first 5 albums. Paradise Lost's sophomore up to One Second. Iron Maiden's first 7 album. Black Sabbath's first 5 albums. Anthrax's sophomore up to Sound Of White Noise. Megadeth's first 5 albums

Architects has a crazy 4 album run. Daybreaker, Lost Forever-Lost Forever, All Our God's have abandoned us and Holy Hell. Easily the best album run in all of modern metal

Very interesting topic. I would include Angra, from Angels Cry to Temple of Shadows

Mercyful Fate. Melissa to Into the Unknown. Also includes the goat comeback album in metal.

Lifelover passes the tests as long as you consider dekadens an album instead of an ep (because it is) Also you should do a vid on lifelover cuz they deserve more attention

Running Wild -Port Royal -Death or Glory -Blazon Stone -Pile of Skulls -Black Hand Inn

All of Melechesh's albums + Ep from the mid 90s to the present are flawless bangers

Ye gods, Paranoid, And Justice For All, and Iron Fist are all personal favorites and pretty much essential metal albums. But I get it, opinions vary. Still, those were a bit shocking.

I'd definitely add Meshuggah from Chaosphere to Obzen. And really unpopular opinion, but: The five album run for Metallica would be Ride up until and including Load

Slayer: Show No Mercy - Seasons in the Abyss Sepultura: Bestial Devastation - Arise

Led Zeppelin: I, II, III, IV, Houses, Physical Graffiti (An argument can be made for 8 albums) Black Sabbath- Debut, Paranoid, MOR, Vol.4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage Pink Floyd- Meddle, Obscured by Clouds, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, The Wall Tool- Entire discography Gojira- From Mars to Sirius, The Way of All Flesh, L'Enfant Sauvage, Magma, Fortitude Mastodon- Full Discography (8 albums) The Tragically Hip- Up to Here, Road Apples, Fully Completely, Day For Night, Trouble at the Henhouse, Phantom Power Judas Priest- Sad Wings of Destiny, Sin After Sin, Killing Machine, Stained Class, British Steel (Can probably be extended by the next 3 albums, depending on who you talke to) Metallica- Kill em' All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice for All, Black Album (Personally I love Load, so I would include that too) Deep Purple- In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, Made in Japan, WDWTWA, Burn, Stormbringer, Come Taste the Band, Perfect Strangers Iron Maiden- Debut- Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (Incredible run of albums) Kiss- Debut to Dynasty (Including both Alive albums)

Therion. From Theli to Sirius B (7) There's the A'rab Zaraq... but that is more like a b-sides/leftovers album).

system of a down(only has a 5 album discography) Korn(first five albums) Slayer(first five) Alice in chains(first five again) Gojira(the link-magma) Are the bands I thought of off the top of my head before watching this video all the wa throgh. Excited to see how many of my predictions were on here EDIT:i believe that primus could make this list as well with firzzle fry - antipop

Wow, Paranoid is my favourite Sabbath album with the title track being my least favourite because of it being overplayed but it’s still good and a historical metal song being the first true metal hit. And Justice for all is amazing as well but I guess the songs can be a bit long sometimes. Megadeth has a great first 6 albums, the first 4 being some of my favourite albums of all time and I still really like 5 and 6. Can have debut to Countdown or swap debut for Youthanasia if that floats your boat but the debut is a top 5 album of mine along with peace sells. Also glad that you appreciate the Di’anno era maiden, iron maiden and killers happen to also be in my top 5 albums.

As an AC/DC fan-it's hard to say if they make it honestly. I've seen various opinions on their debut and DDDDC ragning from great albums to undercooked,and while all of the later Bon Scott albums are hard rock classics,the first two have lots of slower and even akward songs in them like Little Lover. As for Brian Johnson it really depends on how you view For Those About to Rock because it's clear Flick of the Switch was a decline in quality .So,maybe? Other than that I generally agree with the list,glad Thin Lizzy got recognized!

I appreciate the voivod love.

Queensryche will do Queensryche, the warning, rage of order, empire, and their best album, Operation: Mindcrime

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think the six album post-reunion run that Maiden is currently on is pretty damn good. In my opinion, Brave New World, A Matter of Life and Death, and Senjutsu are all masterpieces, and Dance of Death is very nearly one. The Final Frontier is criminally underrated. For me, The Book of Souls is the weakest of the bunch (thanks to a couple of forgettable tracks that feel like filler). But my god are there also some bangers on that record! The Red and the Black is on of my all-time favorite Maiden songs.

In Flames had a great streak with: The Jester Race Whoracle Colony Clayman Reroute to Remain

You could do Pink Floyd’s “Meddle” to “the wall” if you pretend obscured by clouds is just a soundtrack and omit it. I like the album but I don’t think it’s amazing, personally.

The sabbath takes are horrific but still a fantastic and entertaining video I think both Justice and the black album ruin the Metallica run

Meshuggah albums 2 - 6 are peak greatness.

In flames first 5 releases Yngwie j malmsteems first 5 The german power metal band 'rage' had 5 good albums in a row at one stage You can argue Ratts first 5 as well

My favorite band Killswitch Engage doesn't complete the 5 album challenge. Their first 4 albums are fantastic in my opinion and then their 5th album is imo the worst 1 in their discography. Meanwhile, another metalcore band named Unearth completes the 5 album challenge

Yes (Yes Album to Tales) Uriah Heep (Very heavy to Magicians Birthday) Gentle Giant (debut to free hand - actually 7 albums)

Metallica def made it in my opinion

Pantera cowboys from hell to reinventing the steel

Okey woah saying Paranoid is the weak link in Black Sabbath's discography is absolutely wild 😂 but to each their own I guess

That’s a great channel! Looking forward to more videos

Van Halen first 6 are sick 🤘🎸🤘

Can’t forget Pantera- released four decent glam metal albums before dropping 5 of the heaviest and hardest-hitting albums known to man

I thought "It's okay, I disagree with most of the words spoken in this video, but I don't have to think too much about it." and then I heard what you said about Nightwish. I never thought I would hear anyone disrespect any of the albums from Tarja era.

"As long as they have Steve Hackett iam happy" PREACH CONNOR, PREACH. Actually, i still think and than they were three ruined genesis for me

Deep Purple I'd say had a good SIX album run from 'Shades of Deep Purple' to 'Machine Head', but I can't decide which album to leave out.

Opeths first 8 albums

First 5 Pink Floyd...

Cannibal Corpse is pretty close with the first five, or one could also take off Eaten Back to Life in favor of Gallery of Suicide. Unless Vile or The Bleeding are worse than I remember. You could even make a case that their most recent albums, Torture through Chaos Horrific, are all pretty damn good.

Anaal Nathrakh is easily one of those bands. Codex Necro, Domine Non Es Dignus, Eschaton, Hell Is Empty And All The Devils Are Here, In The Constellation Of The Black Widow. All of those 5 albums are immaculate blackened Grindcore, and kick hella ass. Napalm Death is another easy choice, especially late Napalm Death. Cryptopsy is a band I’d almost put personally, but to be honest, Once Was Not kind of exists, not saying it’s bad however. Cannibal Corpse is a band that I wouldn’t say have a 5 album streak personally, they have a lot of amazing albums, and then some albums which break up the amazing discography. There’s a few I’d have to think of, but those are the bands that first come to mind it terms of making it, or almost making it

Grave Digger- The Reaper, Heart of Darkness, Tunes of War, Knights of the Cross, Excalibur, The Grave Digger, Rheingold 🤘

Testament you could argue has a 12 album run (if you don't include First Strike Still Deadly) but I'd go for Practice What You Preach, Souls of Black, The Ritual, Low and Demonic. Some would include the first 2 albums. Metallica has five from Kill em All. And Justice for All is one of my favourites. Iron Maiden would be from Number of the Beast to 7th Son for me.

Impellitteri Answer To The Master Screaming Symphony Eye Of The Hurricane Crunch System X

Lagwagon has a great 5 album run as well as Propagandhi

- Portal has 7 masterpieces - Dystopia has 3 - Conan has 6

Pantera. All 5 real albums are regularly VOTED to be classics

Megadeth from Killing is my buisness to Countdown to extincion

Mercyful fate,sabbath,bathory,king diamond,

I know you're more metal/prog than punk, but I'm not. Here are some Punk adjacent bands that imo completed the 5 album challenge... Husker Du (1984-1987) (5) The Replacements (1981-1987) (5) Wire (1977-1989) (6) The Fall (1979-1982) (4) (1983-1988) (5) R.E.M (1983-1996) (10) Sonic Youth (1986-1992) (5) (2002-2009) (4) The Flaming Lips (1993-2013) (8) Killing Joke (2003-2015) (5) Swans (1983-1987) (4) (1995-2023) (8) Shellac (1994-2024) (6)

Your personal dislike of Paranoid pretty much kicked Black Sabbath out.Shows just how much personal taste has a play in this,though of course some albums are so good most people like them

the cure: the top to wish

In my opinion, I'd say NOFX with 9 from WTTHaaB to Self Entitled are all great.

Iron maide full album iron maide Judas priets full sad wings of the Destiny Metallica full kill em

Great list dude! Here's a few that I'd say make it: Satan, from Court in the Act to Cruel Magic. Easy argument for a 6 album run as well Lucifer, from I to V Aerosmith, self-title to Draw the Line Kreator, Endless Pain to Coma of Souls MAYBE Cirith Ungol, but Paradise Lost is definitely not as good as the rest of their original output, and then you include their comeback records.

Mastodon: Remission: Incredibly Energetic And well written, You can see the prog Even from there, It's A killer album and it holds back no Punches. - Amazing Leviathan: It's Alot more ambitious while having the same sound as Remission but with a broader spectacle of genres, It also tells the story of Moby Dick amazingly, The theming of each song is well done and feels like one big story as It should. - Amazing Blood Mountain: I have never heard ANYTHING like what i heard in Blood Mountain, Drop your Recommendations Below! Unlike Leviathan it has a bigger contrast in the style of each song, And the story is way more Subliminal, But it has one thing, Style, It's Either Pure Energy or Pure Masterful Writing, It's Very Experimental, It's a Groovy Slightly Proggish Album, It's An Acquired Taste though. I found it amazing with no hiccups Back to Back. - Incredible Crack The Skye: Enough has been said about this Album, Brent Hinds Poured his Mind and Soul into this. - Incredible The Hunter: Mastodon Doesn't try to surpass CTS with this, It was the better move, It's More of a Jam Album, Some songs are As amazing as Ever, Some are just good, It has a very developed style though, And all of the team Wrote this album equally which shows, It's an Acquired taste if you're a Heavier Metal Kind of guy, But it's Not like the entire Mastodon Gang just had a brain anneurysm and wrote garbage, Everything here is as Well made as Ever, Just Less Experimental and More of an Attempt to Make their songs Accessible to The greater masses, Which was a good idea cause' the album sold well. - Great! Well that's what I found, This is one of the only bands where I can say with Full Confidence i like to some extent ALL of their songs, OMRTS was their weakest album to me and to many others, But if OTMRTS/The Hunter are their supposed "Bad Albums" They must definitely have a KILLER line-up.

And justice for all has some of the best bass ever It has the coolest reverse bass of any album ever I haven't listened to it recently or the remaster, but growing up it always had some of the coolest bass

Accept would fit. Breaker, Restless & Wild, Balls to the Wall, Metal Heart and Russian Roulette is a 5-album streak that is pretty hard to beat, imo. Russian Roulette is not quite as good as the other four, but it's still a great metal album. Gotta say, I'm surprised about your comments on Priest's British Steel. I've heard of people who don't like it, but never met one. Until now... 😄 Jokes aside... It's a great album, and when you also consider the albums they released after that, they will give Iron Maiden a run for their money. Point of Entry is a seriously underrated album, and I think it's because it sits between British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance. On top of that, you have Defenders of the Faith. So... From Sad Wings of Destiny and on to Defenders of the Faith... Eight albums! Not bad! Not bad at all!

You missed wasp

What about Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin II Led Zeppelin III Led Zeppelin IV Houses of the Holy

Cirith ungol and manilla road both came very close but really had more of a 4 album classic run

I respectfully disagree about Century Child, but I think Once falls just a little below great. While I like the inclusion of the orchestra in Once and later albums, I don't think it fit well with Tarja's voice (at least not as well as it did Anette's in my opinion). Plus, Tarja's parts sounded like she was under a lot of stress a lot of the time, which is understandable when the events within the band at the time are considered.

Maiden wins the 7 album run😅😅

I think TOOL should also be in here, 5 albums 5 bangers

Speaking of hard rock, Uriah Heep and Nazareth hit it, as well.

Led Zeppelin? Bruce Springsteen? Pink Floyd? The Rolling Stones?

Metallica and Megadeth

Pantera anyone?

scorpions i would have put in trance o love at first sting putting it at 7/8 in a row. bon jovi should also be on the list from slippery when wet to crush or bounce depending on your taste.

In my eyes it’s Kill ‘Em All that ruins the Metallica run. I like thrash but not that crazy raw, it just doesn’t work for me. The other 4 are unbelievable, nearly perfect.

Death- entire discography

Pantera? Candlemass?

King Gizzard had 5 in one year

King Diamond - from Fatal Portrait to The Eye

Who the hell are the people that say that A Trick of the Tail ruins it? Genesis' best album and in my top 10 of all-time.

Excellent episode. I disagree with the sabbath take. Iron Maiden and Killers are way better than Somewhere and Seventh Son so you redeemed yourself 😂

SLAYER, first five albums.

Van Halen all DLR albums.

Megadeth killing to coundown are perfect 5 like metallica kill - black

What would you do to improve Paranoid?

4:23 Tbh i think to live is to die isn't long enough 😂

Maiden have 7/7

Death, imo 7 out of 7
