What are your three favourite successive Elvis songs on any of his albums?

Every time I play

Rockinghorse Road
Just About Glad and
All The Rage

I have to go back to Rockinghorse Road and play the same three songs again.

While not the artsiest trilogy, the opening sequence of Get Happy has always been thrilling to me. From the first listen. And it remains as fresh today as it felt then. Can't explain it, because these are not on my short list of favorite EC songs.

1. Love For Tender
2. Opportunity
3. The Imposter

Tough to choose. Here are some candidates:

From MAIT:
Welcome to the working week -> Miracle Man - No Dancing

Or:
(Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes -> Less Than Zero -> Mystery Dance

From Get Happy:
The Imposter -> Secondary Modern -> King Horse

Or:
Beaten To The Punch -> Temptation -> I Stand Accused

From Trust:
Watch Your Step -> New Lace Sleeves -> From A Whisper To A Scream

From Imperial Bedroom:
Beyond Belief -> Tears Before Bedtime -> Shabby Doll

From Blood & Chocolate:
Uncomplicated -> I Hope You're Happy Now -> Tokyo Storm Warning

Or:
I Want You -> Honey, Are You Straight Or Are You Blind? -> Blue Chair

---------------------------------------------

Looking at all of these now, I'd have to pick the first one off Get Happy, marked in Bold text.

That was probably the biggest shock since finding out the Pope was Catholic!

And, equally shocking, Verbal taking an opportunity to be a smart ass.
