Sometimes I like useless data/facts. So what are yours? (double triple/quadruple are acceptable - anything over single, etc.)

1950s

The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Conc...ny Goodman

1960s

The Beatles (The White Album) by The Beatles

1970s
Near impossible choice - and had I not recently listened to it, I'd change it to either
Exile on Main St., London Calling, At Fillmore East, Decade, Songs in the Key of Life, Europe '72, or even Hot Rocks comp

The Wall by Pink Floyd

1980s

Double Nickels On The Dime by Minutemen

1990s

Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness ...g Pumpkins

2000s
(Foo Fighters and RHCP efforts sometimes feel bloated, so if it weren't for that I'd pick them, but this is a great play on the elements)

The Alchemy Index by Thrice

2010s

The Epic by Kamasi Washington

Great selections... some of which I didn't realize were double albums - particularly liked these:


Electric Ladyland by The Jimi Hendrix Experience


Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To ...ck Emperor


Sign 'O' The Times by Prince


Live by Gary Clark, Jr.

And this one I almost picked myself:

London Calling by The Clash

It's just that the 70s had probably 10 better double albums. It's not a bad one, but wow, there's a lot of great ones.

I would also mention some of the albums above. But I'll give a nod to Tommy and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me since nobody's mentioned them yet.

Very good and yeah I nearly chose Reflektor as well. It might actually be tied as my favorite Arcade Fire album.

Definitely on The Cure choice there. Tommy didn't do much for me somehow.
