In which cases do you think an artist's double album is their very best work?

Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville
Game Theory - Lolita Nation
The Clash - London Calling

 

Gypsy S/T first album.

 

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives had the right idea - aside from one EP, everything they released was a double LP.

 

Moonflower by Santana.

Some will disagree with this but I believe it is their best.

 

CHICAGO VII.....its right up there with CTA and II

 

I would go
Who Quadrophenia
Pink Floyd The Wall
Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie...
Clash London Calling

 

I believe it was recorded from a few different concerts on that particular tour if remember the booklet correctly. Got to here him on a simulcast on WBCN when they were a regular radio station at smaller venue somewhere in Boston it was back in the early 80's. He sounded pretty dang good.

 

You could flip a coin between that and 'Fillmore east' and you'd get top notch music either way. I like 'Fillmore East' more, but it's a matter of taste and both are great.

 

most of the albums by motorpsycho are double-cd's... i don't know the vinyl format for these...

 

No to Tusk. Wildly overrated on this board.

Manassas - they only had two albums!

 

Louder Than Bombs by The Smiths (yes, I know it's a compilation, but it's still my favorite).

 

Roadwork by Edgar Winter's White Trash.
GodWeenSatan
Live\Dead
CTA
Läther

 

The Wall is pretty killer.

 

For you folks choosing Tusk, do you mean it's the best by that version of FM, or the best by any version of FM? I'd agree with the former; certainly not with the latter.

 

The Downward Spiral-NIN
Gratitude-Earth Wind & Fire
Disintegration-The CURE(although 'Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me' is a close 2nd)
Quadrophenia-The Who
Blood Sugar Sex Magik-Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway-Genesis
Songs in the Key of Life-Stevie Wonder
London Calling-The Clash

 

Ten Years AFter Recorded Live. I consider it to be the greatest blues guitar album ever done.

Tommy

Humble Pie Rockin the Filmore.

 

Dave Brubeck - The Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall

 

Kate Bush - Aerial (2 CDs too!)

 

Tusk.

I just finished listening to the new deluxe box and it still is a work of genius, even after all these years. And what a brave step it was for an AOR band of that caliber. I'm sure something like this will hardly ever happen again. The record companies are not open for this kind of experiment anymore.

 

Look, it's the Beatles' White Album. Shut up!

 

I have not read a stitch of this thread, but I can imagine what a large percentage of the responses were, which is why I came in to say blind
neither the Beatles nor the Rolling Stones

 

1969 - The Chicago Transit Authority



1970 - Chicago


1974 - Chicago VII

 

Chicago Transit Authority and Chicago (II).

Ironically, there's a Chicago thread.

 

Blonde On Blonde is the best album of all time by anyone so...
