RUSHHEAD666 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'm blasting The Mighty Zeppelin's double masterpiece tonight, "Physical Graffiti." It's always been my favorite Zep album. Not sure if it's my all time favorite double album though. Which double studio album is your favorite of all time? We all know the standards: The Wall The White Album Physical Graffiti Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (even though this was put on one cd it's still a double lp!) Tommy Quadrophenia Electric Ladyland Sorry kids, double live albums don't count. That would be too easy!! The more I think about it, the more I have to give an edge to "Quadrophenia."

Bastille Dave Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Does Metallica's "....And Justice For All" count? if it does then that is my pick. if not, then it's probably a tie between "The Wall" and "Physical Grafitti". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) The order isn't perfect, and things could move around, but these are more or less my faves in general order: #1 - Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans #2 - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica #3 - The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland #4 - Can - Tago Mago #5 - The Beatles - The White Album #6 - Jehtro Tull - Living in the Past* #7 - Amon Duul II - Dance of the Lemmings #8 - Amon Duul II - Yeti #9 - Jimi Hendrix - First Rays of the New Rising Sun #10 - The Mothers of Invention - Freak Out! #11 - Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway #12 - Astra - The Weirding #13 - Pink Floyd - Ummagumma #14 - Miles Davis - Bitches Brew #15 - The Future Sound of London - Lifeforms #16 - George Harrison - All Things Must Pass #17 - The Who - Quadrophenia #18 - Pink Floyd - The Wall #19 - Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti #20 - Ozric Tentacles - Erpland #21 - Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde #22 - Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works - Volume 2 * I know that Living in the Past is technically a compilation, and it contains a couple of live tracks (Ummagumma contains half live tracks), but it contains a lot of songs that were never previously on a regular album of theirs, and, well, it just plain rocks, so there it is.

GuitarKid 1880 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jul 31 2011, 10:17 AM) #1 - Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans #17 - The Who - Quadrophenia #18 - Pink Floyd - The Wall These are the albums I would consider the greatest double LP's. Tales is easily the best Double LP out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Smashing Pumpkins - MCIS One of the few albums I know entirely by heart. If we're talking those that now fit on a single CD, London Calling followed by Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me by The Cure. Some good hip hop ones as well: Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below Wu Tang Forever Notorious B.I.G. - Larger Than Life Edited July 31, 2011 by invisible airwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unattractive Truth Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Does The Incident count as a double album? It's really more of an album and an EP I guess. Anyway, The Wall - Pink Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. I like Quadrophenia a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Physical Graffiti. I love how balanced that double album is. Hoping to add Mr. Wilson's new double LP to this list at the end of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
