Best double album ever

[JF]

I can't believe the non DS/MK replies here;  can you ever imagine the outcry if they decided to announce another artist on ER forum as best album?  Oh dear!

Objectivity, Objectivity....did I already talked about that ?

Well if I'm being objective, since I haven't listened to every double album ever released maybe I shouldn't have voted.  I doubt anyone has.

good point 

anyway I guess you know what I meant, I don't want to repeat again and again what we discussed some weeks ago with vgonis.
it's just that I make the difference between what I "like", and what I "think" (by listening to others musics, but also by reading books, articles about music, watching documentaries, discussing with people who listen to others musics, etc...) what is "best" , "more important", more "influent", more "legend"   

sorry if my words aren't accurate, but my english is very poor....

I hope you get the whole idae though

Not at all.  I know exactly what you mean.  This is why these polls are always meaningless anyway (unless Alchemy wins ).

[vgonis]

Useless polls! Where is Frank Zappa? He must be the only artist with so many double albums, (and the first in the history of rock, he was delayed due to the band's name which was simply " the mothers" and the company didn't like it ), and yet not even one is listed. And how about Captain Beefheart and his Trout mask Replica? Not that I would vote for it, but still... I wouldn't count Alchemy as an album in the sense they started the poll. They obviously mean a studio album, otherwise we would have "live and dangerous" and many other gems. I voted for Blonde because it is the best 1 1/2 album ever made. White album and Wall follows closely. And the rest are great...

Very true.

I think after all this I'm going to vote for Now That's What I Call Music 15!

14 was much better.

[vgonis]

Yes, but you should hear the demos of the 15th.

It was actually "Now...5" album that knocked BIA off the top of the album charts in the UK!

I though that they have changed this chart counting in the UK during the 70ies, due to the cheap top of the pops collections of reditions that were actually the best sellers and were taking many chart slots. Interesting!

You may be correct.  I got this information from Wikipedia who may have not updated their pages accordingly.

Incidentally, they did update their information very quickly last night when it was announced that the Reading football  manager had lost his job (it's always in the last place you look ).  Only a couple of minutes after the story had broke on Sky Sports News, they had the word "vacant" in place for the Reading managers job!

Alchemy, surely (presuming live albums count).  If they don't, then Privateering for me.

Nice to see you vote for a "massively overrated" album as you once put it dmg

Quotes mean nothing unless they are in context. 

I probably meant among fans or live performances of DS.  Can't honestly remember.
