The White Album
All Things Must Pass (I consider this a double)

After we get to the CD era, I'm not sure I really can identify which are "double albums".

 

All things must pass
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Songs in the key of life

 

Gotta put in a good word for Uriah Heep Live '73. I still play it today, and it's still an absolute blast to listen to.

There are not many good double LPs are there? People are picking mostly the same ones.

I'll go for:

Exile On Main Street (of course)
Kids Are Alright by The Who
Moonflower by Santana

 

I do think that's true. There are not that many great double albums.
Most of them are falling in the category 'would make a great single album'.

 

ABB Fillmore
Beatles White
Dylan Blonde
Derek & Dominos Layla
Stones Exile
Who Tommy

I can't think of any more all time classic double albums at the moment

Until I looked back in the thread and saw

Electric Ladyland
London Calling
Moonflower
etc

 

ISB : U.

Elton : Goodbye etc.

Humble Pie : Filmore.

Electric Ladyland
Exile on Main Street
Manassas
Songs In The Key Of Life
Physical Grafitti
London Calling

 

I would like to make a case for George Harrison's All Things Must Pass to be classified as a double album henceforth.

The third disc that came with that "double album" is a bonus jam only and not part of the other studio recordings.

It was clearly not to be taken seriously and is closer to a bonus coaster than a third record in the set.

With that said, I therefore offer up All Things Must Pass by George Harrison as one of my double album sets.
