RANKING: The Top Five best double albums of all time

from Classic Rock And Prog Almanac · host Tim, Shaun and Peter

This week, Tim, Peter and Shaun discussed their top five favourite double albums of all time. Topics covered include: why there aren’t more great double albums, the importance of packaging on double LPs, the fact that CDs killed the phenomenon of the double album, whether good double albums require a large surplus of material to be available, and which doubles received the greatest public acceptance. Also, what double album would have made a very bad film? What’s the name of the guitarist from U2? Who has the best voice in rock? What line from Hey Jude did Paul McCartney want to change, until John Lennon intervened? Are rock bands, in fact, idiots? And crucially, is Shaun’s handyman at work a neo-fascist?
