::) Sheesh, I know. ;D
I actually thought it was really hard to narrow it to three, and I like giving other folks a chance to call out ones that might've been fourth (MMJ) or fifth (hasn't been named yet) for me.

I don't think I've ever heard any Clutch. Link their most badass youtube in here and get me fired up about 'em.
Well in my case it was simply impossible to name only 3. I could however cut it off at the 5 I named. Really there are countless bands for me who have great 3 album runs in their peaks and some who would be included more than one time with 3 album runs at different points in their careers.

Both penny and bbill have Stones albums and end with Exile, but with different other albums. Something's not right.
EDIT:
just looked it up and turns out neither of you are right :-\ Correct order:
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Exile on Main St.
ReEDIT: Just saw that Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out is a live album and wasn't listed on the first discography site I researched. I guess that counts, but I still think the 3 I listed is more proper.
Grateful Dead
Live/Dead
Workingman's Dead
American Beauty
Pink Floyd
Dark Side of the Moon
Wish You Were Here
Animals
My Morning Jacket
At Dawn
It Still Moves

Except that I made the rules to this silly little game and said that live albums are included. Thanks for trying to keep things proper though. ;D

Dude, this almost requires its own thread. The fact that we're only considering consecutive releases disqualifies a lot of bands from this elite group, imo. Neil Young definitely has multiple plateaus of 3-album runs of greatness throughout his career though.

I must've missed that part. That still means Pennylane is disqualified unless she changes it proper. ;)
Acceptable alternates:
Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile or...
Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers
Black Keys:

If we were playing a game called "Guess whose Runs-of-3 these are," I would've gotten yours right, without a doubt.
Neil Young: Everybody Knows this is Nowhere, After the Gold Rush, Harvest
My Morning Jacket: this one is really tough.. Definitely At Dawn and It still Moves. It's the one on either end that really gets me. I guess I'll go with -TTF, AD, ISM. Are you holding us to this Bbill?
Tool- Undertow, AEnima, Lateralus. I'm kind of cheating a little here because I'm not sure Undertow belongs, but the two album run of Aenima and Lateralus is too good to pass up.
Cool game.

I'm just stuck in my ways and really, really boring. Two of my initial thoughts were Echo & the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain, Echo & the Bunnymen (but bookended by Porcupine and Reverberation - no thanks to either) and Smashing Pumpkins - Gish, Siamese Dream (but then Melon Collie... Despite all my rage, this album could have been made by Ugly Kid Joe for all I care).
Twilight Singers Blackberry Belle, Powder Burns, and the just-released Dynamite Steps might do it for me. You'd have to skip She Loves you, but that was a covers album and I'd need a ruling as to whether that counts or not. There's also about ten years in between the albums - the Husker 3 were done in like less than 2 years. But again, Greg Dulli - man I'm stuck in a rut. "I got sixteen hours to burn and I'm gonna stay up all night!"

;D That's not a bad thing. If anything, it just shows you have good, uncompromising tastes in music!

Yes. I'm having my stone carvers chisel away some granite tablets right now with these results. The tablets will be on display in front of the Stockton Pvblic Library for the world to see, so you better get it right.
Three really great albums released consecutively are pretty rare, imo. I think those Tool picks are solid though.

MMJ - AD, ISM, Z
Pearl Jam - 10, Vs., Vitalogy
Flaming Lips - Soft Bulliten, At War, Yoshimi
Lucero - Tennesee, That Much Further West, Nobody's Darlings
Some redundancy here, but it justifies the logic of the picks
The Who
Tommy Who's Next, Quad...with Live at Leads in the middle
Stones
Beggars Banquette, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers...With Ya Ya's in the middle, I can appreciate Exile, but it is a rough listen, and I think overrated.
MMJ
Any 3 in a row...with Okonosis in the middle
Those 3 get extra credit for having 3 of the best live albums ever in their run
