- Post subject: Favorite Double Albums?
|
Okay, guys, since we've been in the age of CD's for so long, I'm gonna define "double album" as any album that exceeds 60 minutes in length.
Mine would be:
*The Wall-Pink Floyd
*London Calling-The Clash
*Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie-Alanis Morissette
*The Fragile-Nine Inch Nails
*American Doll Posse-Tori Amos
*Boys For Pele-Tori Amos
*Screamadelica-Primal Scream (Yes, it's a double album)
*The White Album-The Beatles
What about you?

The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East (1971),
by a good margin, followed by:
The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street (1972)
The Clash - London Calling (1979),
all of which were actual double disc albums on their release.

Good question. Double albums have long been controversial in music. One side argues that the long length prevents the artist from having a clear focus. The other side argues that the albums are better because they allow the artist to freely express themselves. Here's some of my favorites, in no particular order:
Beatles - White Album
Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde
Clash - London Calling
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St
Who - Quadrophenia (favorite)
The Pumpkins' "Melon Collie" is also good, but I'm not sure if I would call it one of my favorites or not.
All of these albums are held in high regard by most critics as some of the finest in rock music, and I too appreciate them as masterpieces of creativity and art.

You get more songs on the double album which makes them better than albums sometimes
