This week I've mostly been listening to trilogys. What next ?

Thought I'd have a listening adventure in album trilogys. So far I've got through:
Bowie - Berlin trilogy.
Blur - Life trilogy.
Neil Young - Ditch Trilogy.

Anyone got any ideas for more. I've got the flying teapot lined up on standby.
 
Lana Del Rey's first three albums strike me as a trilogy. There's a sense that Carmen from the first album is the main character of the third album, and the characters of the second album are the people she was involved with to get there. That might be me just trying to make sense of her worlds though. But it keeps me going back to them.

Does the Lana del Ray album, that looks like it wasn't properly released, count as the first ? Or am I going Born to Die/Ultraviolence/Honeymoon ?
 
You could always go with the self titled McCartney, McCartney and McCartney by someone called McCartney. ;)

Or Dylan's Bring It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde.

Nice, new album tomorrow too (but I should definitely go back and explore her earlier albums in more detail).

Dylan's late period trilogy (of sorts - but more the quality of each individual release rather than any thematic consistency)...Time out of mind, love and theft and modern times.
 
A lot of people consider The Cure's 'Seventeen Seconds', 'Faith' and 'Pornography' to be a trilogy, although Smith thinks Pornography, Disintegration and Bloodflowers are a trilogy and in fact played them as Trilogy concerts 20 years back.

Just finished listening right through the 3 Lana Del Rey albums. Decent stuff, I'd heard of her but never knew any of the material, so was a bit of a step into the unknown, a nice change and nudge out of my comfort zone.

I know you to be an active listener to music and I suggested one way the albums connect, but trust me they are worth listening to for repeated musical and lyrical connections/themes, which make them akin to reading Louis De Berniere's South American trilogy of novels. (y)
