Wire would've been my pick too...

Another two bands:

David Bowie (The Man Who Sold The World (1970)/Hunky Dory (1971)/The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust (1972))
LCD Soundsystem (LCD Soundsystem (2005), 45:33 (2006), Sound of Silver (2007)) assuming you count 45:33 as an album...

I would mention The Jesus Lizard if I'd heard Head (1990), since Goat (1991)/Liar (1992) is a good one-two punch.

skwm - firewater (1996)/developer (1997)/blueblood (1998)

duh

but that's just because it's hard for me to find other bands. they usually stick to like, alternating years.

I hit reply to mention Silkworm, only to have in stolen from me in the two minutes I took to confirm my intuition.

CCR - CCR [1968]/Bayou Country+Green River [1969]/Cosmo's Factory [1970]
Throbbing Gristle - D.o.A: The Third and Final Report [1978]/20 Jazz Funk Greats [1979]/Heathen Earth [1980]
Make-Up - Destination: Love [1996]/Sound Verite [1997]/In Mass Mind [1998]

Neil Young [Time Fades Away (1973), Tonight's The Night (1974), On the Beach (1975), Zuma (1975 as well)]

If we're allowed EPs then I'd personally class Polvo's run of Cor-Crane Secret, Today's Active Lifestyles and Celebrate the Dark Age ('92-4) as great.

Then Low's I Could Live in Hope, Long Division and Curtain Hits the Cast ('94-6) to round things off.

I though that Silkworm's Libertine was in '95, but it turns out it was '94, so I thought that ruled them out. Must admit that I hadn't even considered Blueblood. But then I much prefer Silkworm before Phelps left.

It's pretty weird but I prefer the post-Phelps SKWM material but oftentimes his songs are my favourites on the pre-Firewater records.

Elvis Costello's first three albums can count if you aren't too picky about adding or subtracting "& the Attractions".

Constantines - Constantines [2001], Modern Sinner Nervous Man [2002] (since EPs count!), Shine a Light [2003].

The Velvet Underground's first three albums.

I guess it's subjective but personally I'd add:

Sleater-Kinney: Sleater-Kinney (1995), Call The Doctor (1996), Dig Me Out (1997)
Archers of Loaf: Icky Mettle (1993), Vs the Greatest of All Time (1994), Vee Vee (1995) although this one is slightly less general consensus and more personal opinion than Sleater-Kinney due to VS the Greatest of All Time.

Hmm, I'd say Tarentel w/ "From Bone to Satellite" (1999), "Looking for Things/Searching for Things" (2000, technically an EP but it's pretty long so I think it counts!), "The Order of Things (2001). A pretty amazing lineup of records, that.

If you included the first two Stooges albums in with Iggy &- (presumably just Raw Power, yeah?) then that'd be yr winner straight up

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath/Paranoid [1970], Master of Reality [1971], Volume 4 [1972], Sabbath Bloody Sabbath [1973]

All the other runs that come to mind have already been listed I think?

[EDIT] Maybe Miles Davis - Miles in the Sky [1968], Bitches Brew [1969], A Tribute to Jack Johnson [1970], but I don't know if Miles in the Sky classifies as a great album. The other two definitely pick up any slack that it left in the lineup, though.

The Minutemen: What Makes a Man Start Fires? (1983),  Double Nickels on the Dime (1984), 3-Way Tie (For Last) (1985), although some may disagree with me on the merits of the latter album (they're wrong).
Melvins: Lyson (1992), Houdini (1993), Stoner Witch (1994).
If their BBC sessions can be included then The Delgados have a great run of Domestiques (1996), BBC Sessions (1997), Peloton (1998).

Miles in the Sky isn't that great, but how about replacing it with In A Silent Way?
Then that is probably one of the greatest runs in all of recorded music!

Pink Floyd managed Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979) consecutively.

Wait, was the question three albums in three years, or just three in a row?
