What has been the best double album ever?

The Wall? Electric Ladyland? Exile On Main St? Physical Graffiti? The White Album?

 

Vote for your favourite double album. http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/pages/double_album

That's a fairly archaic list, are they saying that there haven't been any great double albums in the last thirty years? Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness might have something to say about that, and it's not within this forum's genre but Speakerboxxx / The Love Below is awesome as well.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was my first thought.

I think The Fragile deserves a mention, what a masterpiece.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Eat a Peach (1972)-The Allman Brothers Band

Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

 

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous

London Calling by The Clash always gets my vote. Mellon Collie wouldn't.

I just remembered The River. I may as well close the thread.

Melon Collie needs to be on that list. It was the first thing that popped into my head. Blonde on Blonde and London Calling top that poll for me though.

 

 

Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

Probably not worthy of the title 'greatest', but I love Yellow and Green by Baroness.

 

Aphrodite's Child - 666.

Eels - Blinking Lights & Other Revelations.

If it counts then I would add Sci-Fi Lullabies to the list. I wouldn't include Greatest Hits albums but it's more questionable whether an album of b-sides (not on the studio albums) qualifies.

Tiz fairly amazing - esp disc 1.
