Rhetorical question: how many really good double albums (including the above two) would have made truly great single albums?

 

The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street
The Allman Brothers Band - Eat A Peach & At Fillmore
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Cream - Wheels Of Fire
Derek & The Dominos - Layla
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
The Who - Quadrophenia
Santana - Moonflower
Ten Years After - Recorded Live
Wishbone Ash - Live Dates 1 & 2

 

I see a lot of my favorites listed already (for instance- The White Album), so I will just add:

"Something/Anything"- Todd Rundgren

 

White Album
Electric Ladyland
Live And Dangerous
4 Way Street

 

+1 on Live And Dangerous & 4 Way Street

 

Strangers In The Night by UFO is another good one.
Waiting For Columbus - Little Feat

 

Your Favourite Double Albums

 

I think the vast majority would, including the two you listed. For me, Exile on Main St. would be an exception. It just feels to me like it wouldn't be a great single.

(And, yes, I do know what rhetorical means. )
