_Rolling Stone_'s David Fricke opined in the 1985 review, "Zen Arcade is probably the closest hardcore will ever get to an opera. [. . . a] kind of thrash Quadrophenia." Then he mosies onward to review The Minutemen's _Double Nickels on the Dime_. 'Garsh, this shure is innerestin' stuff! '85 was some kind of year.Here.

funny thing is had some of these been released in the last 15 years they'd have fit on a single 80 min CD ... what "double album" ?

(and vice versa, of course)

My nomination is Made in Japan - Deep Purple. First proper album I ever bought.

 

[Dogbane]

I voted for Electric Ladyland.
I absolutely hate The Wall-to me, that is when Pink Floyd stopped being a great band and started to totally suck. If you want to include a great PF double album, list Ummagumma instead!

 

[ZephyrSapphire]

The Wall. A wonderful flow of words that form a brilliant story.

 

[Redcarmoose]

This if anyone remembers, was and is one of the greatest double live albums of all.

UFO..........Strangers In The Night

 

[Sherlock19]

very hard to choose between the white album, electric ladyland, and the wall. Went with electric ladyland.

 

[Redcarmoose]

VS

I myself would have to choose The Song Remains The Same Soundtrack.

19 minute "Space Truckin'"...100% win!

This gets my vote.

This from a card carrying Pink Floyd fan since 1973. The Wall was too much Waters politics.

White Album, as the best any album of all time.

Having mostly missed the vinyl era, I can only imagine the awesome experience of 'The Double Album', especially from a band like Zeppelin or the Beatles.

Of course, the trade off of having unlimited access to all music ever is nice too. And now every album is a double album, thanks to the 80 minute cd and bands who have no self-restraint.

 

[whaleyboy]

I went with Allman Brothers at Fillmore East. Every song is good and it flipping sounds fantastic.

Other contenders were White Album (a little inconsistent IMO) and the Wall (only really like side 3).

 

[GlendaleViper]

I can't in good conscience vote for a double live album, so I have to throw a vote from my corner for Livin' the Blues by Canned Heat, if for no other reason than being the only double studio album I can think of where I enjoy every track.

 

[tru blu]

Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life

Prince - Sign O' The Times

Of the things listed, for me the choice is between Exile on Main Street and London Calling. Haven't voted yet, but if I were to go with what gets the most playing time these days, it's definitely the Clash.
