My top list is very close to Silver Dagger's. But I wouldn't have "Tommy"up there. Some top albums not mentioned so far I think

"Manassas by Stephen Stills
"The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" by Genesis
"Layla" by Derek & Dominoes
"Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" by Cure
"The River" by Bruce Springsteen
"Stadium Arcadium" by Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John
"The Wall" by Pink Floyd
"4 Way Street" by CSN&Y
"Eat A Peach" by Allman Bros
"Melon Collie.." by Smashing Pumpkins

Self Portrait?? Wow!
This one is a controversial one among Dylan fans...I love Dylan but find this one hard to get into. Some really cheesy over the top stuff, with some really odd vocals. Gutsy choice!

SELF PORTRAIT is a goddamn cool choice! It wouldn't do my list, not even my 30 best Dylan albums list, but my respects!

But the list of mine... a difficult one indeed.

The top three is obvious:

1. EXILE ON MAIN STREET
2. BLONDE ON BLONDE
3. ELECTRIC LADYLAND

But then it goes difficult; pick two from these:

- BITCHES BREW
- LONDON CALLING
- SIGN O'THE TIMES (Thanks Gaz for reminding me of this gem!)
- LAYLA

I'm not a big fan of The Beatles, Pink Floyd or Bruce Springsteen, but I need to say that I really enjoy listening to albums that had a definitive article in them:

- THE BEATLES (THE WHITE ALBUM)
- THE WALL
- THE RIVER

tongue sticking out smiley

Do live and compilations really count ? Not convinced that the Basement Tapes qualifes as an album per se. To mind its an album that was conceived and realised as two slabs of vinyl. keeping it pre "longer format" CD keeps it simple.

Just a few of the top of my head, i'm sure I'll think of some more.

River
Exile
Blonde On Blonde
White Album
Manassas
London Calling
A Wizard A True Star
Something/Amything

Exile is clearly a magnificent double album. I'm not much of a fan of Physical Graffiti, and have never heard The White Album - maybe i'll pick up the remaster.

I love the constituent parts of Elvis' From Memphis To Vegas, From Vegas To Memphis, but it's never been released in it's true double album format on CD.

Best boxset? Something by Elvis - he has over 10 4CD+ boxsets to date. I'll always have a soft spot for the Stones The London Years - it was my first RS album.

I would vote Quadrophenia as the best, IMO.

Also, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road would be right up there on my list.

Of course, Exile deserves a mention, but it rates lower than the two noted above.

Quadrophenia is up there for me too. I can't recall what my list was, but I think The Beatles, Exile and Quadrophenia. WHich is way better than Tommy imo. Goodbye Yellow Brick is also in my top ten for sure! I agree with you funman good post:-)

good lord....nice to see such a massive database...but I agree that 'live' lp's & compilations should be excluded from this list...although I was stunned to see 'Bloodrock Live' included..LOL..didn't think anyone else knew this record...so let's see an edited list...and then I can just focus on this issue....peter

I made The Beatles into a single album the other day. Made it much better. Having listened to it recently I digress - it's not as good as I thought it was. Exile is better.

Wish some of you guys would stop copying bloody threads on top of threads that are already pages long. Simply refer to them - we'll work it out. Promise.

Anyways "Exile" for me. Then "Tommy", "The Beatles", "Quadraphenia" and "The Wall".

Re: The Best Double Album

I am thrilled to see Elvis Presley's "From Memphis to Vegas" album listed here. Although I must confess that the Memphis disc has almost no bearing on the greatness of this recorsding. So it is more a single album; the "Elvis in Person" live show which might be his best live album, period. Ronnie Tutt does some of the finest drumming I have ever heard; with Jerry Scheff on Bass. And James Burton too.

Original Lotus by Santana was a triple album,like it very much but a different
(triple) thread (ok,when I was much younger I had Yessongs and Welcome back my friends by ELP as well,unbelievable...)

I love Dylan and Hendrix but although I like both albums simply don't understand the big hype surrounding BOB and ELL. Some interesting songs on Bob's and some great new sounds (for the time) on Jimi's but to my ears they're overated with regard to what critics generally think of them.

I am a big Zeppelin fan too and really like PG but compared with the first four that they made it comes up wanting.

Elton's GYBR is indeed a great album also although I think it suffers from being a little too long. It would be an absolute masterpiece had it been clipped to a single album me finks. Voodoo Lounge is the same (as it was released as a double album on vinyl).

I am thrilled to see Elvis Presley's "From Memphis to Vegas" album listed here. Although I must confess that the Memphis disc has almost no bearing on the greatness of this recorsding. So it is more a single album; the "Elvis in Person" live show which might be his best live album, period. Ronnie Tutt does some of the finest drumming I have ever heard; with Jerry Scheff on Bass. And James Burton too.

Are you aware of the FTD collectors label? They've released a magnificent 2CD set of In Person in a high quality 7" gatefold package filled with great photos and a booklet. The CD's contain the original album, extra rarely performed songs from the '69 Vegas stand and a complete performance - 22/8 DS if I'm not mistaken. The mastering is fantastic too, finally.
