Bob Seger (and the Silver Bullet Band) had an amazing three album run from 1975-1978 with Beautiful Loser, Night Moves, and Stranger in Town.
You could extend it a four album run if you include 1980's Against the Wind (I think the other albums are a notch above)

I picture an aging Mac McClung, now a G League vet, sitting in the team bus like Kevin Costner in Bull Durham, telling the young prospects of what his short time in "the show" was like. ("The arenas are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains.")
The Indiana Pacers are waiving guard Mac McClung, sources tell ESPN. The reigning three-time NBA dunk contest champion signed a multiyear, non-guaranteed with the Pacers last week and scored 6.3 points in 11.3 minutes per game over three contests.
