Billy Joel : The Stranger, 52nd Street, Glass Houses (and The Nylon Curtain if you exclude live albums)

The Police : Outlandos d'Amour, Zenyatta Mondatta, Ghosts in the Machine, Synchronicity

Bruce Springsteen : Born To Run, Darkness, The River, Nebraska, Born in the USA

Hot streaks are a lot rarer these days than they used to be, that's for sure.

That don't count. Dog Eat Dog was a dog, so to speak. It did horribly compared to the first two albums.

Boy, that's a weird one to mention. I mean, you don't mention Appetite, their crowning achievement, and you do mention Lies, which was an EP and not even close to Appetite for quality. And the Illusion discs would have made one incredible album if cut down in size.
