Whether you like the genre or not, they all got significant airplay.

I also agree with theprodigalrebel about Pearl Jam - Ten

no, third eye blind - self titled, the entire CD.

Let it Grow

I'd say that doesn't count because it's a compilation and mixes two bands and his solo stuff.

It's hard to find 3 really good consecutive Cream songs, but maybe from Wheels of Fire

7. Those Were The Days
8. Born Under A Bad Sign
9. Deserted Cities Of The Heart

and from EC's 461 Ocean Blvd:

4. Get Ready
5. I Shot The Sheriff
6. I Can't Hold Out

I'll also add Bob Dylan's Desire:

1. Hurricane
2. Isis
3. Mozambique
4. One More Cup Of Coffee
5. Oh. Sister

The Who by Numbers:

1. Slip Kid
2. However Much I Booze
3. Squeeze Box

Only song I've ever heard of theirs is "Punk Rock Parranda," and I really dig it. Is the rest of their music like that song?

Concerning stuff like "The Cream of Clapton" those albums don't count since compilations would most likely have lots of great stuff on a CD (that's why I said Studio albums). That album is truly awesome though and I do have it on my MP3 player, heh.

Another one I missed is Billy Joel's Storm Front starting at Track 2:

2. We Didn't Start The Fire
3. The Downeaster Alexa
4. I Go To Extremes
