There are some great double albums out there but my personal favourite is Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by the Smashing Pumpkins

 

[West Coast Weasel]

Yep Mellon Collie for me as well, to listen to it in one sitting. It just takes you on an amazing journey

I couldn't nominate a best, but have a few favourites.

Chicago - Either of Chicago Transit Authority or Chicago II
The Elt - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
ELO - Out of the Blue
George H - All Things Must Pass (if you include triples in this category)

 

[eldorado]

Physical Graffiti for mine...

 

[HARKER]

The Clash - London Calling. I've 5 vinyl copies of it. The Clash also have one of the best triple record albums too.

English Settlement by XTC was also a very good double album.

The Autumn Stone - Small Faces

Autechre just released their first 'double album' the other day. Just pressed play and listening to opening track right now.

Another one for Mellon Collie. Under rated album and band really. Billy Corgan in the 90s was a songwriting machine. I think this is often overlooked because his voice can be a bit grating at times but the first 3 pumpkin albums are pure bliss.

Would love Arcade Fire to do a dbl.

Billy Corgan is a bit like Brian Molko for me. The band is excellent, couple really good albums, but I really have to be in the mood for that voice.

KISS-Alive and Alive III
Iron Maiden - Live After Death

I can fully understand. I cant really take his stuff post Mellon and lord knows Ive tried.

does that count, since it was released as 2 single albums?

They were shit anyway.

Double albums are an absolute slog to get through. If they're really good, they're emotionally exhausting. And if they're okay to decent, they're a chore. Not a fan of them at all, but I'll throw Mellon Collie up there.

One of my personal favourites.

In the mid 80s I stupidly gave away my whole record collection, and then around 15 years later, I discovered a really good 2nd hand shop in the neighbourhood selling LPs in pretty good condition, and this was one of the first I bought, but alas, the book was gone.
