Some would say Fugazi had a 6-album run but I never quite got into their first two. Good, but I don't love them. I'm ignoring Instrument Soundtrack too.

If Gala counts I'd start with Kaleidoscope World for the Chills.

I know jazz should be probably judged a bit differently than most other popular music, but it's kinda hard to beat Herbie Hancock's record: 14 great albums in 12 years, starting from his solo debut:
Takin' OffMy Point of ViewInventions & DimensionsEmpyrean IslesMaiden VoyageBlow-UpSpeak Like a ChildThe PrisonerFat Albert RotundaMwandishiCrossingsSextantHead HuntersThrust
And even after Thrust his studio albums were still pretty good, it's only Feets Don't Me Fail Now, Herbie's 20th LP (and that's not counting various live albums), that's his first mediocre record. That's quite a feat!

I'm currently working my way through the classic late-'60s-to-mid-'70s era of jazz funk/fusion and I, too, agree with Tuomas's assessment.
My own answer to the question posed by this thread depends in part upon whether we count Mt. Vernon and Fairway as a separate album.

Cream's four albums (Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears, Wheels of Fire, Goodbye--their entire discography) each have numerous brilliant songs. Ditto Chuck Berry's first four: After School Session, One Dozen Berrys, Chuck Berry Is on Top, Rockin' at the Hops. And there must be a bigger Elvis P. fan than I am who can figure out his best four-album run.

I'd argue for From Elvis in Memphis, Back in Memphis, That's the Way It Is, Elvis Country (I'm 10,000 Years Old), but it's tough to do straight runs in Elvis's catalog because he put out like three albums a year, and two of the three were either live records or compilations with a couple of new tracks thrown in.

(xxpost) I'd work around that stuff with anyone. For Elvis, I was thinking Elvis Presley/Elvis/For LP Fans Only/A Date with Elvis, which would entail skipping the Christmas album (which I know is highly regarded itself). You also get a lot of Sun stuff scattered across those albums.
