Narrative:
On arrival into denver, we were given several vectors that had us follow much slower turboprop aircraft, causing an RA between us and a dash 8. We maneuvered to follow the RA command. We were then given a turn north due to our altitude and vectored on final -- '120 degrees' to intercept runway 16R. At that time, we were already in a 30 degree bank to comply and told to make it a 'tight turn, really tight' and further resulted in a 2ND RA between us and an EMB120 on approach to runway 16L. We again maneuvered to comply with the second RA. I believe the problem occurred by trying to sequence an rj with much slower turboprops.
