In light of the recent Chili Pepper news I have heard more than a whisper of doubt expressed at the idea of a double album. So I got to thinking "Sure, Double-Albums can suck but wheh they are good they are unforgettable".
For instance, Mesmerize/Hypnotize - System Of A Down, Use Your Illusion l/ll - Guns 'N' roses, Melancholy And The Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins.

So my question for you guys is what other great Double-Albums are there?






PEACE :)

    Yup *Smacks self*.
    Also, just thought of this, what about Beneyora Hall?
    I would count it and I really do think that on it's own is a CD that everyone should hear at least once.

    Zep's Physical Graffitti is probably one of the best out there.

    Nick Cave - Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus
    Drive by Truckers - Southern Rock Opera


    I am admittedly not a huge fan of the double album, with obvious exceptions, more often than not I find they don't work out too well.

    lots of rock writers kinda consider 'revolver' and 'rubber soul' a de facto double album.

    'being there'- wilco

    True........along with the previously mentioned "Physical Graffitti," one of the best double albums to come down the pike. I also enjoy Kate Bush's latest "Aerial," which is a double dip.

    Wasn't "Tommy" originally a double album?

    Indeed it was, I actually have an older CD copy that is on two discs, but the version that is out now is just a single CD. Kind of like how Blonde on Blonde was a double record set, but when released on CD it is just one disc.
