    This thread got me thinking so I googled. This link has a pretty complete list. There are quite a few really good ones. :)

    great ones listed so far

    also

    Neil Young & crazy horse 'weld'

    & beastie boys' 'hello nasty' is a double album if you have it on vinyl

    Hell yeah Weld! Of course Lost Dogs would probably be my favorite. The White Album is at the top too. And there are some greatest hits collections -for instance Beastie Boys Anthology and the Rolling Stones London Years (it's actually a three disc set).

    Live albums and greatest albums shouldn't count because the songs on the discs are by default great music from the band. Would a band put together their crapiest music and play it live to record? I doubt it. I think one could certainly say, "who has the best live record?" because then you are comparing apples to apples. Comparing stuff in the studio and stuff on stage is apples to oranges. And obviously a greatest hits record is the greatest from the band, how can that be compared to something that was written at once and not pre-selected from many, many albums based on record sales?

    Not a big deal really, just my opinion.

    I was pure going to sya the same thing, I'm a little surprised that a bunch of people haven't started shouting out like "Random Pearl Jam bootleg!!". But anyways I will be the one to add Sign O' the Times by Muthafucking Prince to the list, 1999 is a double as well but just not as good

    ok i know my nick is london calling, but if you take the bullshit out of Sandanista and made it a double album instead of a triple, it is probably the best piece of work by the Clash.


    oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh....that's tough... nevertheless, sandinista! is friggin amazing!

    Most double albums from the 60's and 70's are no longer than your average CD these days.

    Anyway, Beatles White Album and Pearl Jams Lost Dogs are my favorites. Unfortunately a lot of double albums have too much filler.

    an Old one: The Beatles - White Album

    a new one:

    Wilco - Being There
    So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
    That is why I'm singing
