as it happens, the four best songs ever recorded are also a four-song run: Three Babies / The Emperor's New Clothes / Black Boys on Mopeds / Nothing Compares 2 U

This reminds me how long my music listening has been depressingly removed from “whole albums, in order”
Offhand:
- The last tracks on Behaviour and the first tracks on Very- The first and last tracks on The Rising (I know it’s not well-loved but it’s a personal sentimental favourite)- Little Star / Hopefully Yours / Murder in Maryland Park / I See You Again or any four song segment of that album

The 3 songs before "Papercuts" are pretty amazing as well.

Maybe it would be more of a challenge to pick an album with 4 great songs in a row and nothing else that’s very good.
I've been trying to think of examples of this. Somebody already listed the only four songs from Rain Dogs that I like, except for "9th and Hennepin".
A couple of times Tori Amos really rallied at the end of very lengthy and not-entirely-satisfactory albums and came up with amazing four-song conclusions:
Another Girl's Paradise / Scarlet's Walk / Virginia / Gold DustBeauty of Speed / Almost Rosey / Velvet Revolution / Dark Side of the Sun
I like other songs from these records, but with each subsequent song in these closing quartets, it feels like she is raising her bets and pulling off a victory.

Here's five:
Sailin' On/Don't Need It/Attitude/The Regulator/Banned In D.C.
Then you get a dub instrumental, so you can catch your breath.
