Both Sabbath and Aerosmith fucked it up after 6 awesome albums, BTW. I have a soft spot for Tunnel of Love, but Springsteen would probably fit there as well.

Haven't heard Cultosaurus Erectus for a long time, but BOC might be a runner up. Midnight Oil definitely woud be (debut to BSM, probably). And Steely Dan (debut to Gaucho, probably).

But I'd probably pick Symph X as mentioned or Elton, Tumbleweed -> Captain.
 
I'd easily take Symphony X for best 4 album streak with Divine Wings - The Odyssey, but the newer albums are a pretty big step down.
 
Symphony X only struck greatness a few times. Most of their albums are solid but not masterpieces.

Rush wins this contest every time. Everything from 2112 to Power Windows is pure gold.
 
Symphony X from Damnation Game through Paradise Lost is awesome. At least 2 masterpieces in the bunch (V and Odyssey).
 
I'd say those two plus Paradise Lost, but then Damnation Game through Twilight In Olympus is a notch down.
 
Yeah, I'd say those three are a bit more like the "Classic Era" Maiden albums - really, really high highs and some very inconsistent low lows.
 
Killers through No Prayer For The Dying. The self-titled is a bit raw for my taste, and I think NPFTD is a bit underrated.
 
First 7.
I couldnt, in all good conscience, pick anything that excluded Phantom, Killers, Hallowed, Eagles, Rime, Infinite Dreams or 7th Son.
All Top 10 or 15 tracks for me.
