Angel ,'Shells'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Tumbleweed Connection.
Oops. Anyway, in that span you also get Honky Chateau and Madman Across the Water and Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player and Caribou.
I still vividly remember the trailer for Aloha Bobby and Rose which used "Bennie and the Jets."
Hold me closer, Tony Danza...
Also Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
Yeah. 7 albums in 5 years, all of them going top 10. And one of them (Goodbye . . .) a double album.
Can anybody else match that output?

The Beatles?
(just a guess - too lazy to look up.)

As tommyrot notes, that was common practice in the 60s. Hell, Dylan put out Bringing it All Back Home, Highway 66 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde in 18 months.
I think Gandalfe means match that ouput and that chart success.
Yeah. :)
And, I have no stake in it at all, I'm just curious.

I'm sure Beatles would match that. Let me check.
eta: Yup. Between '65 - '69 the Beatles put out 9 albums (Help through Abbey Road). All of them top ten (at least). That includes the double White album.
As tommyrot notes, that was common practice in the 60s.
However, most artists' albums then (the Beatles and Dylan being among the exceptions) would consist of one or two singles, plus filler consisting mostly of covers of recent hits by other people. It wasn't until the '70s that the album really became the norm in pop music.
