Name a good Double-Album

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.

    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.

    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.

    i'll probably be repeating most or all of these... but i don't feel like reading so here goes...

    Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins
    The Wall - Pink Floyd
    In Your Honor - foo fighters
    Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (not a real album... but amazinnnnng)
    The White Album (zee first double album in fact)

    Machina/Machina II - Smashing Pumpkins... not really a double album... it was going to be.. but after the sales from Adore flopped (despite it's own brilliance) that was too risky... so they just released the second part dubbed Machina II for free over the internet... really i think because of that most of the very best songs got shipped to Machina.. making it amazing... but lackign that balance that would prompt me to call it a double album.

    the new Chili Peppers' record Stadium Arcadium will be... :)

    waiting for columbus - little feat
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Well, we all know the best double albums are Pearl Jam's Lost Dogs and Rearviewmirror:Greatest Hits, as well as a ton of live stuff they put out, but let's not forget:

    Jerry Cantrell - "Degredation Trip Volumes 1&2"
    Nine Inch Nails - "The Fragile"
    Led Zeppelin - "Physical Graffiti"
    System of a Down - "Mezmerize/Hypnotize"
    Foo Fighters - "In Your Honor"

    There are some others but can't think of any right now...
