Simon Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Was watching this conversation in the Shoutbox and thought it was pretty interesting. The Shoutbox discussion was Top 5 albums but I cannot get my list down anywhere close to that so I'm going with Top 10. Exiled on Main St Songs in the Key of Life Waiting for Columbus Stadium Arcadium Europe '72 The White Album Electric Ladyland Physical Graffiti Bltches Brew Goodbye Yellow Brick Road It's Alive What do y'all got? 1 1 Quote
T&C Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 Freak Out! Wheels of Fire Blonde on Blonde Zappa/Mothers Live at the Roxy & Elsewhere The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway The White Album What Do You Want From Live? Renaissance Live at Carnegie Hall S&G Concert in Central Park Spirit Spirit of '76 2 Quote
SinceThe70s Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) I'd have to distinguish a recorded double album from a live one. For example, unfair to compare The Wall to Waiting For Columbus, imo. EDIT: with that said Quadrophenia would make my top 10 either way Edited October 21, 2023 by SinceThe70s 1 1 Quote

We're not playing for money so I can live with some imperfections. Quote

Fair enough - wasn't my intention to throw cold water on a fun thread - just the first thing that came to my mind when I tried to rank. I'd probably put Yessongs amongst my faves - but that's a triple album so maybe I don't play nicely in the sandbox. Quote
muppy Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 IF live recordings could be allowable I would add LIVE RUST and WOODSTOCK the triple disc for starters. Recorded in the studio and LIVE are indeed 2 different animals. My tastes run clearly for the iconic "holding up over time" and long standing influence. For the WHO Fans you could arguably say Tommy AND Quadrophenia belong. Quote

Ima try a different tactic and put down 10 that I love and if the thread takes off I'll reserve the right to amend. In no particular order: Quadrophenia Yessongs The Wall Waiting For Columbus Physical Graffiti UFO: Strangers In The Night Joes Garage Acts 2 and 3 Michael Schenker Group: Live At Budokan Rush: All The Worlds A Stage Lynyrd Skynrd: One More For The Road Blue Oyster Cult: On Your Feet Or On Your Knees Frampton Comes Alive Edited October 22, 2023 by SinceThe70s 2 2 Quote

I don’t think I’ve seen The Last Waltz yet? A triple, I believe. Much of what I see I LOVE, and some of it I barely recognize. Quote

There are too many to make a top 10 really, most peoples tastes change by the month imo. No mention of Eat a Peach/Live at the Fillmore, kind of surprised. Quote

This guy was HUGE back in the day. I don't really think I have a double album take... Just the Ted Nugent one came to mind from back in day. ELP: "Brain Salad Surgery" was originally one record... But later was re-released as 2 discs with the bonus tracks... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Salad_Surgery# Any, most have been mentioned here. 1 Quote
