They're not that popular compared to Pink Floyd or David Bowie, but there's a band called The Dear Hunter that have 5 albums called Act I through Act V that are one continuous story of a guy's life.

So in that sense every song on those albums are a sequel and prequel to every other, but some of the musical themes and motifs are more obviously reintroduced, referenced, and re-applied in new contexts as the albums go on.

They have albums that aren't those 5, which are not in the canon, by the way.

What's your favorite color? I'm torn between green and orange.

Honestly, I was kinda "meh" on the colours 😅

At first I thought it was maybe a "I like their earlier work" sorta thing, that can sometimes happen with bands, but when I looked up the release dates I was surprised to discover the spectrum came out between III and IV, but I like III and love IV and V, so I guess it's not that!

I guess maybe the identity of the Acts is just enough that they have something colours lack for me? I don't know what, but they've never grabbed me. Oh well, such is taste!

That is fair, They vary their style a lot, which I think is pretty cool, but when you like one thing and they change it...

After a while, I've come to learn why a lot of the popular artists have hundreds of songs but only 1-5 of them get played on repeat.
