Sometimes that helped......another thing about some of these Hat Tricks: Check out the release dates.
Impressive in how fast they were recorded & then released to us schubs...
The Alice Cooper trifecta, for example-
Love it To Death (1971)
Killer (1971)
School's Out (1972)
From my "Do you Own School's Out" thread, I distinctly recall buying this LP in August of '72 (just looked, it was released in June '72).
I recall getting BDB for my birthday (March)...BDB was released in Feb '73.
I also recall getting Muscle Of Love for Xmas '73.
They did not **** around back then.

And maybe I missed it but- what about Creedence Clearwater Revival?
"Creedence Clearwater Revival"
"Bayou Country"
"Green River"
"Willie & The Poor Boys"
"Cosmo's Factory"
Hardly a bad tune in there! And one of the best damn rhythm sections in white-person rock & roll ever!
The glorious Roky Erickson!
"Roky Erickson & The Aliens"
"The Evil One"
"Don't Slander Me"
"Gremlins Have Pictures"
Four solid sets from the psych/psychedelic creator! The Thirteenth Floor Elevators only produced two real LPs- "The Psychedelic Sounds of..." and "Easter Everywhere," but again, those two are worth a dozen of a lesser acts' output.
Speaking of psychedelic, how about Quicksilver Messenger Service?
"Quicksilver Messenger Service"
"Happy Trails"
"Shady Grove"
Still trippy, hippy, and dippy in all the right ways, all these years later! Hey, you gotta love a live disc ("Happy Trails") which begins with a bent bass note!
'Nuff said!

Pretty Subjective but I can listen to these all the way through without issue. I like some more than others, of course, but I don't think these albums have a bad track on them.

+1 for Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Cream, Hendrix, Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against the Machine, Nirvana, and CCR. I'd add The Offspring - Smash, Ixnay on the Hombre, Americana, and Conspiracy of One.
I also like Gorillaz - Self Titled, Demon Days, and Plastic Beach.
I'd also add Sublime - 40 oz to Freedom, Robbin' the Hood, and their self titled album.

Fixed that for you!
Undertow and Amnesiac are respectively my favorites and clear stand-outs from both groups...
