best FOUR ALBUM RUN of the 2000s (aka the Stevie Awards)

This kind of cheating but I'd like to add The Go-Betweens.

The Friends of Rachel Worth (2000)
Bright Yellow Bright Orange (2003)
Oceans Apart (2005)
The Evangelist (2008)

The last one was obviously a Robert Forster solo album but it did feature contributions from Grant and was a tribute to him so I'm counting it. Really great set of albums that are not far off the quality of the run they had in the 80s.

I guess i need to hear Convivial.

certainly

paper tigers is unaccountably disfavored, too

Yeah I never got why paper tigers was so bad and hated

one touch (2000)
angel with dirty faces (2002)
three (2003)
taller in more ways (2005)

sung tongs
feels
strawberry jam
merriweather post pavilion

Wussy deserve some mention here even though the last one came out in 2011.

Funeral Dress 2005
Left for Dead 2007
Wussy 2009
Strawberry 2011

If you add the last two Ass Ponys albums from 2000 and 2001 Chuck Cleaver has a Stevie and a half going.

i still think EPs (or mini-albums or whatever you wanna call them) should count for this especially if they are considered among the artist's strongest output (like "Young Liars" for example) and especially if the EP was crafted by the artist as a self-contained sequence of music (as opposed to b-sides collections like "Airbag/How Am I Driving" or remix albums like "Further Down The Spiral"). within certain contexts, i think this exception makes perfect sense.

my reasoning is that the initial stevie wonder 4-in-a-row that inspired this idea was built from 4 consecutive releases without EPs or shorter releases scattered in between. and plus they were all released within a 4-year span as opposed to getting spread across all 10 years of the 70s like many of the 2000s artists mentioned in this thread. (stevie had 8 albums throughout the 70s.)

Would be interested in a 90s version of this.
