Although it’s a compilation, the three song run of Listen Up, Rockin Chair and Half The World Away is the greatest run of songs ever. Fact! Everything great about Oasis summed up in those three songs for me personally. If you get all of them, you’re going to be a die hard fan. If you get one, you’ll merely like them and a selection of hits. If you like none of them, there’s no hope for you on this planet.
But what is your second favourite three song sequence ever?

Not sure if you mean just Oasis or in general, but I'll give a top ten in no order save for Oasis being the first one.
Roll With it / Wonderwall / Don't Look Back in Anger from Oasis' (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
God Put a Smile Upon Your Face / The Scientist / Clocks on Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head
I Am the Walrus / Hello Goodbye / Strawberry Fields Forever from The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour
So Appalled / Devil in a New Dress / Runaway from Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Who Knew? / The Way I Am / The Real Slim Shady from Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP
If You See Her Say Hello / Shelter From the Storm / Buckets of Rain from Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks
Exit Music (For a Film) / Let Down / Karma Police from Radiohead's OK Computer
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea / Two Headed Boy / The Fool from Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Wake Up / Haiti / Rebellion (Lies) from Arcade Fire's Funeral
Mad City / Swimming Pools / Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst from Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid, Mad City

Although staying attached to Oasis for a second, the three run sequence of If Love Is The Law - The Man Who Built The Moon - Dead In The Water is for me what really took Who Built The Moon as the first quality album since Be Here Now.

The first that came to my mind about Oasis (except the one matt already posted): Some Might Say - Cast No Shadow - She's Electric. I'm gonna think about it a bit more.

I'm not even sure that those three are even the best set of three on that record. I'll have to give it some more thought. I do love the first three tracks together and the the last three as well. Hmm...

So many to choose from, but after some thought I think at the moment for me it's The Bends, High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees.

The first three tracks from the Pixies' Doolittle: 'Debaser'-'Tame'-'Wave of Mutilation' is the first trio that comes to my mind and is probably my favourite overall. Though whilst I'm thinking Pixies Trompe le Monde's opening trio: 'Trompe le Monde'-'Planet of Sound'-'Alec Eiffel' may just be as good.
In terms of Oasis? Hmm. You could ring any three songs between 'Rock 'n' Roll Star' and 'Cigarettes and Alcohol' really.

That's what I always think of for Oasis three-song sequences. Anyone who says all Oasis songs sound the same should be played this run of tracks. Cocksure rock to introspective balladry to silly pop perfection. Noel at the peak of his powers, for sure.

Not putting this forward as a definitive answer; it's just a suggestion to be considered (or not).
The Rolling Stones: Let It Bleed, tracks 7-9: 'You've Got the Silver' / 'Monkey Man' / 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'
First of all, each track is great. Then, perhaps unusually for the Stones, you've got the bonus of each one being completely different from the other, to the point where they could even be fit into different genres. 'You've Got the Silver' shows Keef's country influence; 'Monkey Man' is their trademark sexy rock 'n' roll; and 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' is a gospel tune (showing their indebtedness to black American music), given a distinctly English twist, and featuring lyrics replete with social commentary inspired by those fascinating last few years of the 60s, after the Summer of Love turned sour. That's some way to end your album...

I'm surprised no one's said 'Ziggy Stardust' / 'Suffragette City' / 'Rock & Roll Suicide' off Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars.
That's the one that usually gets mentioned when this question is raised, a little like how everyone who's asked to name a sequel that's better than an original movie always says The Godfather: Part II.

Before I comment further, can I just say that I love this thread?
Not only the question but the many terrific answers people have offered.

If You See Her Say Hello / Shelter From the Storm / Buckets of Rain from Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks
[b That's very powerful stuff. This is the kind of music that can make grown men cry. Great call on this album.
