What has been the best double album ever? The Wall? Electric Ladyland? Exile On Main St? Physical Graffiti? The White Album?

The double albums I listen to the most include The White Album, The Wall, Blonde On Blonde, Being There and Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness.

I'd have to say The Wall but that's only because I've heard it about a 1000 times. Derek and The Dominos' Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs is also one of my favourites. Great album!
The others I've only heard fully once or twice. The White album and Exile on Main St. are also really good. Tommy and Quadrophenia are also up there.

Physical graffiti by far two totally different vibes in one

Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life, Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs and Husker Du - Zen Arcade are worth a mention too.

No love for the White album or Sign of the Times by Prince what a classic that is.
Agree on Exile on Main street anything that starts off with Rocks off deserves praise.
Primal scream's Screamdelica was a Double on vinyl so thats getting some love.

John probably has the two best solo albums. Nothing else from George blows me away or Paul or.........Ringo.  - Imagine - Jealous Guy - Gimme Some Truth - How Do You Sleep? - Oh Yoko! Like Lennon said, it's just like Plastic Ono Band except sugar coated. |

Like Lennon said, it's just like Plastic Ono Band except sugar coated. Imagine is a great record but it hasn't got Isn't it a Pity, Wah Wah, My Sweet lord, Art of Dying, Beware of darkness and what is Life. I think Band on the Run and the first Mccartny Solo record are up there too but All things must pass is just mind blowing and the Concert at Bangladesh is epic too. Harrison was on fire at that time. |

Well he was on fire because he had a stockpile of Beatles songs that John and Paul never approved of (Isn't It A Pity springs to mind first). Lennon/McCartney constantly delivered the goods while in the Beatles and for their first few albums as solo artists. I think after George's first album, everything else is just average at best as complete albums. Concert for Bangladesh is a live album featuring many artists so I don't count that one. Good debate all around though. |

Good debate all around though. Ah come on you must count Concert for Bangladesh its got Ringo on it too  . The Version of Here Comes the sun on that is so out of this world its just perfection. Lennons first two solo albums and the singles like (Cold turkey, instant karama) were awesome after that only the singles like Mind Games (top 5 greatest Lennon songs ever) and Watching the Wheels were up to his best. Mccartney after Band on the Run you take into your own hands. |

Everybody has mentioned some great double LP's, but are any of them really that good? I've always thought that there is really only one-great album worth of material on most of them, and the rest is just thrown on there because the bands had a stockpile of tunes to get rid of at the time. An album with nearly 30 tracks, but only 12-14 of them are actually "great", right?
Just an opinion.
Cheers!

Uses it depends on how you judge it,,,the only two double lps I consider great are physical graffiti and the wall. ..my criteria for a great double lp is if there isn't one song you skip over you know? Physical and the wall are the only two lps I don't skip a song so to me there are no fillers maybe not all great but certainly on those two ,to me they are either great or real good ,,,in Floyd's case it's more concept so Iknow there's some weird tunes but played in order it works |
