This is to tell me your favourite studio double album that fit these criteria:

-studio
-can be sequential/simultaneous releases, but had to have been recorded during the same sessions (Use Your Ilusion 1/2, Load/Reload, Kid A/Amnesiac, etc)
-not a greatest hits/b-sides/compilation/previously unreleased package
-not Lost Dogs
new album "Cigarettes" out Spring 2025!

    Quadrophenia and Tommy are the first that come to mind, obviously.
    How about Johnny Winter's Second Winter? It had 2 discs but 3 sides. Killer album.

    MC has some of my favourite tracks on it. Of any band, any album. But my god, some of it is just total filler, and indistinguishible from the rest. in my opinion, take all that extra out, make it a single album, you have one of the greatest albums of all time.
    new album "Cigarettes" out Spring 2025!

    NIN - The Fragile would be my choice for favorite.
    Mellon Collie is mostly terrible...never understood the love for that album.

    I've heard people say this, but I wholeheartedly disagree. I enjoy every single track on that album, it all flows perfectly, and I don't think there is a second of filler on it.

    I'll throw in Don Juan's Reckless Daughter by Joni. I've always loved that album. But Physical Graffiti takes the cake on this one.
