Gotta mention LCD Soundystem's original trilogy - self-titled (2005), Sound of Silver (2007) and This Is Happening (2010). No other band this millennium brings me so much catharsis with their music and lyrics.

Steely Dan actually has two
Can't Buy A Thrill
Countdown To Ecstacy
Pretzel Logic
Royal Scam
Aja
Gaucho
Been into these cats BIG TIME as of late
I'd go Katy Lied/Royal Scam/Aja for that second trio, myself.
I wanted Gaucho in there at the end, but if we include Katy Lied we can bridge the gap and make it a holy septet
