Mother Sky is one of the best tracks they've done for sure. I still think it's very good, I guess it depends how strict you're being with the great moniker. Like I say imo I can't really think of any artist that's done five albums in a row I'd consider great.
Again i think those other two tracks are some of my favourites, Don't Turn on the Light is one of the best Can "ethnic shuffles" IMHO.
Going back to Zep you could argue that even if you think the albums after the first four are too patchy there was actually the material to make them pretty much flawless IMHO. Houses of the Holy could have had The Rover, the title track or even Black Country Woman on it rather than The Crunge and D'yer Maker, Physical Graffiti could have just included the material from 74 on a single album...
In The Light
Custard Pie
Sick Again
Tramples Underfoot
Ten Years Gone
In My Time of Dying
The Wanton Song
Kashmir
Presense could have dropped Royal Orleans and Candystory Rock and had that great piano instrumental that came out on the remasters....
I'm glad we got the other stuff as its at least fun and some of its very good but they could have put out 7 pretty much flawless single albums in a row if they'd wanted to.
