Best Double Album (of this tiny, tiny sample)

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Must've been done before, but I don't care. I used to hate all double albums. But now I'm seriously considering giving thought to one of these mofos becoming my favourite album of all time. There are a whole load missing which I think are shite, such as The Wall.

zen arcade

but of this lot, i'd say songs in the key of life.

― Oh baby if only you knew I'm down to a hundred-and-two (stevie), Thursday, 11 June 2009 23:46 (sixteen years ago)

Oh yeah, forgot Double Nickels too. That's some fine shit, especially 'Cohesion'.

― aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Thursday, 11 June 2009 23:47 (sixteen years ago)

Zen Arcade would've never merited a place on here, xpost.

Life After Death

― a hoy hoy, Thursday, 11 June 2009 23:49 (sixteen years ago)

I think double albums can only be appreciated later in life, say, past the age of 26.

― aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Thursday, 11 June 2009 23:49 (sixteen years ago)

Melon Collie and the Infinihahahahahahaha

― aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Thursday, 11 June 2009 23:57 (sixteen years ago)

but it was messed up to begin with.

― unicorn poop evaluator (WmC), Thursday, 11 June 2009 23:57 (sixteen years ago)

You're missing Double Nickels On The Dime, Something/Anything?, and Physical Graffiti. This poll can seriously go fuck itself.

Though honestly, I'd probably vote for Benny Goodman's Live at Carnegie Hall

― Carroll Shelby Downard (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 12 June 2009 00:19 (fifteen years ago)

no "Bitches Brew"??!?!?!?!

― pipecock, Friday, 12 June 2009 00:24 (fifteen years ago)

It's sad because we could have had nominations or something beforehand. Nothing wrong with the idea itself. Maybe the original poster can ask a mod to change the poll title to "of THESE..."

Wasn't Daydream Nation a double, too?

Yes it was.

The Wall by Pink Floyd

― Alex in NYC, Friday, 12 June 2009 06:18 (fifteen years ago)

Mods, please change the title to 'I drunkely created a poll and left off loads of good shit, this is now a nominations thread'.

― aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Friday, 12 June 2009 06:32 (fifteen years ago)

Please change the title to 'Great Thread'

― Pasta of Muppets (Noodle Vague), Friday, 12 June 2009 06:44 (fifteen years ago)

And Blonde On Blonde too of course...

From this lot I went for The Beatles since it pretty much defines what a double album should be for me; a sprawling array of different styles, experimental diversions and general oddballness.

― Officer Pupp, Friday, 12 June 2009 18:14 (fifteen years ago)

There's probably one I haven't yet thought of yet, but Swans' "Children of God" immediately comes to mind.

― Imagine being an elevator (Bimble), Friday, 12 June 2009 20:49 (fifteen years ago)

TOMMY seems way out of its league amongst its fellow competitors

― guammls (QE II), Friday, 12 June 2009 21:57 (fifteen years ago)

Of this thin slice of life, Tusk. But I'm ashamed to say I've never heard the Prince or Stevie Wonder albums, except for whatever singles they produced.

― unicorn poop evaluator (WmC), Friday, 12 June 2009 22:52 (fifteen years ago)

Correct answer is "Blonde on Blonde".
