Early in the life of Music Threads, people would regularly throw around engagement bait posts such as: what is the best 3-album run of all time

And I’m kind of amazed that I never saw anyone suggest the Fleet Foxes run: self titled, Helplessness Blues, Crack-Up

It’s such a good run of rich & increasingly ambitious modern folk music, possibly the best and most interesting of its kind, if anything because it didn’t succumb to the “stomp hey ho” trope we all know it for.
