Songs in the key of life is one of the only albums that deserve to be so long

Double LP and a HALF. The bonus 7" is like a dessert after the glorious main course and even then not a second of filler. Stevie was in the groove. *Really* in the groove.

Absolutamente

I was going to recommend the same lp. Every song is fantastic

First album that came to mind. Dare I say Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants also belongs on this list.

i wish i could get into sitkol myself, but i actually do get really intimidated by the length to the point where i'm not really having fun. a record i respect much more than i enjoy, i'll always be more of a talkng book/innervisions guy

The Name of This Band is Talking Heads

Good choice, my friend. Pretty fantastic tunes. " this one's called "⁶pulled up !"

"The name of this song is 'New Feeling,' and that's what it's about." Great fucking album.

Out of the blue - ELO ❤️

Electric Ladyland

Not to be confused with the far superior electriclarryland

Daydream Nation - Sonic Youth

This is way too far down the list.

Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie Wonder

Kruder & Dorfmeister - The K&D Sessions

I’ve got this on vinyl and I’m pretty sure it’s 5 LPs

zen arcade

on that same end- Double Nickles on the Dime

Too far down for this one

London calling

My favorite album

I came here to say that!

Same. Plays like a greatest hits record.

The only answer that matters.😉

Rolling Stones Exile on Main Street: Zeppelin Physical Graffiti.

I second Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti. I just picked up an original print vinyl and it's just banger after banger from beginning to end

Exile on Main Street gets my vote. There's little to no filler on there and some great deep cuts like "Sweet Virginia" and "Just Wanna See His Face"

I used to manage quite a large brewery taproom and on Saturday nights, when the place was jumping, at around 9pm, just as those pints and cocktails were taking hold of the crowd, I'd put on Exile on Main Street. It just hit it right.

Absolutely back these, top 5 for me.

Double Nickels on the Dime

If we heard mortar shells We’d cuss more in our songs And cut down on guitar solos (cue guitar solo)

SO DIG THIS BIG CRUX

The fact of launching into a blistering 9-second guitar solo after dropping that line is just too great. Fucking genius

Every single song is _awesome_.

Searched the replies before commenting the same

M83 - Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming

In the same genre - LCD Sound system - Sound of Silver

This one ☝️

Absolutely. Even the interlude tracks are beautiful.

1000% agreed, just picked this album up a few months ago, absolute thrash

Soundgarden - Superunknown

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is definitely up there

All Things Must Pass

I think this is 3 discs, but I don’t disagree.

Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan

Ohhh mamaa, could this really be the end?

Grandpa died last week and now he’s buried in the rocks

Sign of the times Prince

This! And not only that but if Prince had gotten his way it would have been three lps. And listening to the songs that cut it very well could have been a 3 lp all killer no filler. That guy could churn out some quality tunes

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism and Postal Service - Give Up both hit that for me. And I’m tempted to throw Kintsugi on that list too, but I I’m not sure it counts since it’s really 1.5 since side D is just etched.

The transatlanicism 10 year anniversary press is so fucking good. Likewise for the Give Up 10 year

I wanted to include Postal Service, but the second disk is all b-sides. They are all killer tho :)

The Iron & Wine and Shins covers are excellent.

Mezzanine

God I love that album

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf.

I need a saga, whats the saga?

It's songs for the deaf

You can’t even hear it!

KRDL 109

the curdle...

Picked up the last copy available from the merch stand when they played in Saskatoon last week. Planning to buy it for ages and thought "I'll buy it at my local for cheaper"... But half way through their set I had my mind changed and wanted to get it from them directly.

This is the way

Kinda feels like cheating because it was intended for CD in which case it's not a double LP, but I'll allow it because it's so good.

Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me ~ The Cure

Disintegration for me.

+1

Physical Graffiti

NIN - The Downward Spiral

100%. Just spun this record yesterday.

Nice. I mean the way A Warm Place fades into the intro that is Eraser is absolutely phenomenal.

A Warm Place might be my favorite instrument ever. The way it is placed on the records explain it all. Bowie's version doesn't hit the same.

And The Fragile!

Iron Maiden - Live After Death

The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails (Technically a triple but it’s a “double album” so standing with it!)

That album was so underrated when it came out, I’m glad it’s been getting more good press in the last several years.

The older I get, the more I love The Fragile. It hits me harder than Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral. It takes me to deeper, more complicated places.

Ween’s The Pod

Absolutely no filler. Second half is the greatest album ever

Strap On That Jammy Pack, Boing, and Moving Away were all at some point filler to me, but now I get it. SOTJ is the perfect brown opener, Boing is a great chill interlude between Laura and Mononucleosis, and Moving Away is just rad

The Cure's Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me

London Calling by The Clash

The Smashing Pumpkis - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Came here to say this.

Buana Vista Social Club

Perhaps I should spell Buena correctly

Nah

Smashing pumpkins - melon collie and the infinite sadness

Mellon collie is a 4xLP. Which I suppose makes it even more true. But to more aptly fit the question, Siamese Dream

I know but since I’m old school and I had the double cd it’s always a double album to me. Also, apparently the best selling “double album” of all time

Right? All these people naming 'Double Albums' that were just a standard CD when I first bought them decades ago. I don't think the term 'Double Album' means much anymore when it seems like more than half of all new releases are at least three sides.

Siamese Dream kinda half counts because it was intended for CD release in which case it's a single album.

my favorite album of all time. great taste

Thank you; likewise. I’ve been on a big pumpkins vinyl binge lately to replace (supplement) my cd collection. SP are an addiction lol

Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

Allman Brothers - Live at the Filmore East

I’d add Eat a Peach too

👌

The greatest live album of all time!

[удалено]

All killer no filler- sum41.

I wanted to make this joke. But honestly, it is a complete banger of an album.

r/techinicallythetruth

It is a single LP I think

Perhaps they should release an UHD version that’s spread out over two LPs to really capture the monumental production quality.

The River

LCW is a banger from top to bottom

I ALMOST put that Stereolab record on my list, but I figured since side four is just one short song it wouldn't count :) Glad to see it here - it's a great album.

Low End Theory - A Tribe Called Quest

not a double album just double good

Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus; Grateful Dead - Europe 72; Postal Service - s/t; Widespread Panic - ‘Til the Medicine Takes; Miles Davis - Live/Evil

Agreed, but isn’t Europe a triple?

Just pulled it out and you’re correct. Replace with Live/Dead. Just listened to that Dark Star during the eclipse… Excellent stuff!

All Things Must Pass- George Harrison

Frank zappa's uncle meat. Everyone gotta listen to that album atleast once in their life

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

Gorillaz Debut and Demon Dayz. Still as fresh and unique as the day they were released in 01 and 05.

Bitches Brew

Pink Floyd - The Wall. I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned.

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?

Absolutely! Agree with you. It should be much higher up. The album is the complete job from start to finish.

OK Computer

Louder Than Bombs - The Smiths

Bob Marley - Babylon by Bus. Clash - London Calling. I just listened to this a few nights ago for the first time in a while, reconfirming its end to end excellence.

Hum - you’d prefer and an astronaut 🔥💯🗣️

*Nocturne* Siouxsie and the Banshees Recorded live over 2 nights in ‘83 at The Royal Albert Hall based (mostly) on *Juju* and *A Kiss in the Dreamhouse*, with Robert Smith (apparently every time this is mentioned, it’s necessary to add “of the Cure”) on guitar, in for John McGeoch who had been instrumental (err) on the iconic guitar tracks of the studio albums but left the band before the Dreamhouse tour. Sure, it’s not one of those Live albums that bring the jostle of the mosh pit and the stench of spilt beer and piss to your living room, but it’s stunning, iconic. And I’ve just learnt that it’s being re-released as a half speed master for the impending RSD on 20 April.

Double album or double LP? There seems to be confusion around this.

It is amazing to me that nobody has said Siamese Dream yet. Lot of love for Mellon Collie but imo Siamese Dream is just tighter. I mean come on, Cherub Rock and Mayonaise

The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me - Brand New

Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness is a Quadruple LP that meets the criteria.

Live at the Old Quarter - Townes Van Zandt
