Quarter-Album Run of Awesomeness Redux

[el_chode]

  [Restarting this because I find it fun. I'll try and include everyone's old choices here]

Forget your favorite albums, what are you favorite run of songs on an album? Doesn't have to be something like DSOTM or anything, but just a run of songs that blend well, flow well, or are just a super-combo of awesome.

Example, my reason for posting it was a recent kick of listening to Side One of Velvet Underground - Loaded:

Who Loves the Sun
Sweet Jane
Rock'n'Roll
Cool It Down

Or, to make it forum-appropriate,

At Dawn
Lowdown
The Way that he Sings
Death is my Sleazy Pay
