RushCanuck Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I don't believe this has been mentioned yet. I loved Chicago Transit Authority when it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastille Dave Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 ^^^forgot about that one. That is one great album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Well, from your list it would be either Hendrix or Zep. I like that Goobs has Ummagumma on the list, despite that it contains live tracks. I'd rate Santana's Moonflower similarly. I also quite like ELO's Out Of The Blue, Zappa's Sheik Yerbouti, and Focus 3. Despite the thin sound, Metallica's And Justice For All is great. I feel like I'm overlooking something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZ Working Man Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I think Pink Floyd The Wall takes the cake here -stands in a class of its own IMO Genesis - Lamb Elton John -YBR dont forget Frank Zappa had 2 of them that were pretty Unique for the times as well..........but isn't he Unique in his own rights?

ColdFireYYZ Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (The Owl @ Aug 1 2011, 12:40 PM) Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence Nah, just joking.... though this album would probably still be in my top 10 double albums list, if I weren't too lazy to make one. Just listened to it today. Its an epic album. Edited August 2, 2011 by ColdFireYYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 QUOTE (liddybuck01 @ Aug 1 2011, 12:01 AM) ^ i think we need to be friends lol You're the only other person to mentioned Tusk, which is my favorite FM album. Indeed we should. My favorite FM album BY FAR (I think I'd consider it top 5 of all-time as well). ...Listening to it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liddybuck01 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Add me on good ol' Facebook Although Tusk was considered a flop by critics, it is truly a wonderful album. I love that it was Lindsey's first step into directing the band's sound. Some of Stevie's best songs are in this album. I love the erratic sound to Lindsey's tracks.

Rick N. Backer Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 QUOTE (rushgoober @ Aug 2 2011, 12:49 AM)Really, there are no "bad" songs on The White Album, but there are definitely weaker moments. Admission: I'm a huuuge Beatles fan, and so I'm completely biased. That said, I think the white album has no weak songs. The songs are just so wildly different from one another. And many of them are meant to be sort of tongue in cheek (The Continuing Story . . ., Why Don't We . . ., Everybody's Got Something . . .). I love them all, except, as I said, Revolution 9. Are you yanking my chain that's your favorite song on the album? I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgeranacoke Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Double Albums I Really Love, the ones I have no problem listening to all the way through at any time. Going to cheat a bit and name a few because almost all all been mentioned so far. The Beatles Quadrophenia London calling Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Doubles I really like, I probably will not listen to the whole album in one sitting. Blonde on Blonde Physical Graffitti Are you Experienced Being There Eat a Peach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112mjh Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Lamb lies down definately qualifies in my book. Spocks Bear - Snow - was that a double? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Back in my High School/College days I listened to XTC's English Settlement a lot. It's a good double LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz44 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'd have to go for London Calling, which only contains one average track - Spanish Bombs. Not quite sure why I waited until 2000 before buying the thing when it was released in '79. Physical Graffiti would be a close second. A very close second. As for the White album - complete twaddle! It is self-indulgent clap-trap. I love Dear Pru, but most of the rest is dire. I'll try not to offend anyone by saying Siouxsie's version of Dear Pru is better, but it is!

PariahDog Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) How about Snow by Spock's Beard? It seems to have a lot of haters, but I think it's one of their best. My favorite would definitely by The Lamb, Tales from Topographic, Physical Graffiti, The Wall, or Snow. If I had to decide today, it would probably be The Lamb. Tales is very close, but the first few minutes of The Ancient is a pretty rough listen. Here's hoping Clockwork Angels is a double album!
