This is a list of my favourite double albums, I am pleased with my choices, although, in retrospect I wish I had included that album by Derek & the Dominos' and Stevie Wonder's 'songs in the key of life'....

Let me get this straight. Tales from Topographic Oceans,but no London Calling?? WRONG!! And the best double lp Dylan did was the 2 lps he did BEFORE Blonde on Blonde. Just listen to them back to back. Ugh. I knew this video was going to be too good to be true at some point. I agree with all the other installments though.

It’s not your list, it’s his. Therefore his list is correct - for him. If I would post my list it would be almost completely different from his as well as from yours.

@davidgangemi3314 Жыл бұрын

@@THomas_HH It doesn't specify that it's his list,therefore he is proclaiming that these ten lps are the greatest. And TFTO isn't even good by any stretch. I fully agreed on the other 9. Well....8 actually.

@davidgangemi3314 Жыл бұрын

@@THomas_HH sure. I agree on that. But let's agree that some lps were absolutely shite! Now I like Yes a lot. But that lp that he considered top ten is clearly not a contender unless it's in the top ten of worst lps made by great bands. Then it's probably no. 1. EVEN Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman had nothing great to say about it either. As far as where he placed certain lps in the list is of no concern to me either. Bottom line is if we are being honest in our subjectivity as we possibly can be,London Calling is a full blown masterpiece on every level and TFTO is simply a boring,listless,unimaginative waste of time. This reviewer seemed to know his shit too and critiqued every other lp wonderfully. But clearly he went for a personal pick instead of a professional one.

I love the fact that Jello Biafra hates the putrid Yes with a passion, the worst band that has ever existed, in his view. Have to agree. Just that one song, London Calling, blows away anything Yes puked out of any body orifice. I have to give credit where credit is due, however. Owner Of A Lonely Heart caused me to ditch Top 40 radio. They played that piece of shit, seemingly, every 15 minutes the year it was a hit.

@Randy A Yes, Randy; I think that the two albums were being recorded at the same time in adjacent studios. Thanks for the comment. The story goes that Rick became so bored with rehearsing TFTO that he went to visit the Sabs which he found more interesting. They were interested in using a bit of synth on the new album and Rick was around to play it for them. But you sound as though you already knew this. The month of December '73 would become a landmark date in my youth, just turned 15. I bought TFTO on its release and went to my first ever gig, BS touring their new album. I think within the same week, in fact. I still love both albums and, indeed, both bands.

Every now and then record companies get it right. Giving a band the chance to start their career with a double album sure involves some risk.

@@roxannewalsh Worth noting that 'Chicago Transit Authority' was specially priced - I think $4.98 at a time when a single album was $4.29 - which combined with the live photos of the band playing in the early ads (pics taken from the album's gatefold interior) added up to an engaging proposition. I mean, it just looked like a chance worth taking. And what a winner it was...and remains. All these years later, a friend of mine is the band's drummer, and a former bandmate is the singer. Still, and inarguably, the early years were the band's finest.

Excellent reviews, as usual, and great choices. Yea, "Yellow Brick Road" is dynamite, and my fav double "The Wall", but there are even more, and it's a 'top 10', right? I have no problem with these picks, and always enjoy your informative reviews, brother.

Wonderful entertaining overview. I particularly like the first two Chicago double albums, but based on your past reviews was surprised to see the first included in your top 10

@rickleblanc8900 3 жыл бұрын

I prefer the first one as well. More improvisational, rawer and Terry Kath playing his guts out, amazing. That being said, their second album is great too. When Kath died, Chicago died, sadly

Fantastic video. Glad you mentioned London Calling at the end...it would be in my Top 5. Quadrophenia would make two (2) albums by The Who in my Top 10. And Goodbye Yellow Brick Road would be my (admittedly biased) Numero One of all-time. Cheers!

A very well worked out list which is very hard to argue against. I have most of your top 10 albums, and there's some great music there. Can only see two omissions. "The Wall" and the one that should have been number one. "Songs In the key of life", an album that has it all and then some. Keep up the good work.

Out of all of the double LP's I've listened to, I can't think of any better than Quadrophenia. There may be 1 or 2 weaker songs on there but The Real Me, 5:15, Cut My Hair, Sea & Sand, Bellboy, the title track, and the magnificent The Rock, are some of my all time favourite songs. Being a scooterist, I've lost count of the times I've put my earphones inside my helmet, put Quadrophenia on my Walkman and ridden my Vespa around the Isle of Wight where I live. It transports my mind back to the 60s when I do so. Man, if the cars on the road could hear me singing at the top of my voice 😆 Tommy is 1 of those double albums for me where the whole is greater than the individual parts....some songs are forgettable but Go To The Mirror, Acid Queen, the See Me, Feel Me/Listening To You, Overture, Sparks, were all brilliant. I like about half of the White Album but I find the other half crap. It would have been their best ever single album if the great songs were creamed off the top. Physical Graffiti was a good double album with plenty of variety. The other albums in the list I couldn't care less about ....I don't like Yes, nor Genesis, and Bruce Springsteen....I just have never gotten into them, but that's the beauty of music. We're all different and have our own tastes, the world would be boring if we all liked the same stuff 😎👍

Here's an album I love, and is probably not on any other commenter's list, is Pink World, by Planet P Project (Tony Carey). It was released in 1984, as the paranoia of the Cold War was growing again, and is essentially a musical version of a graphic novel, about a boy that gains telekinetic powers after swimming in a polluted stream. Hidden in the album is a song called The Stranger, about the nature of cults that, sadly, has not aged a day.

Obviously all " greatest " lists are subjective, but I think the " Strangers in the Night " live by UFO is a criminally underrated album that deserves mention. Schenker was in another league during his time with the band.

Excellent list, probably covered all the greats, certainly in the rock genre. You have a very poetic and lyrical turn of phrase sir, really enjoyed listening to this!. The only one there I wasn't familiar with was The River by Springsteen. Not being a big fan, this one for me has slipped through the net.Thanks to your review, I shall be giving it a listen.
