TraceOddity Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Out of those, one of the first three. Probably the White Album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodder Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The Beatles (The White Album) - The Beatles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'd have to go with The Wall. But The White Album and Physical Graffiti are good choices too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-para-parrotdies Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The correct answer: The Clash - London Calling Other contenders: Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde Can - Tago Mago Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St. Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation Give me any of the albums listed above over the greatly overrated White Album and The Wall.

Texas Rez Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Underrated double albums, in my opinion: Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm sorry, but the White Album isn't as good as everyone says. Mostly filler with a few good songs. Not a patch on Revolver or Sgt Pepper, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Radio Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Probably The Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a patch on Revolver or Sgt Pepper, for me. Gonna have to agree, there are some great songs in there like While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Blackbird but things like I'm So Tired and Savoy Truffle aren't even album worth tracks.

Cheese Nip 2 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I like the loose feel of the white album. It's very different from The Beatles other work and just other albums in general. The fact that they were are kind of working seperatly on it helps that feel I think. There's a lot going on and it's sort of chaotic (having "Why Don't We Do it In The Road" followed by "I Will"?), but personally I love that. The filler songs are in many ways some my favorites because they're so loose and direct. HOWEVER,that being said my personal vote would probably go to The Who's masterpeice Qudrophenia. One of my top albums of all time, can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my top albums of all time, can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet! No one's mentioned Revolution 9... probably for the better. Masterpieces are albums that don't have one duff track across the album, but Rev9 is undefendably shite. We're talking of album-worth tracks, that track is a waste of recording space.

This one time I was in a relatively quiet restaurant that had the the White album in the jukebox and I put that song on. 9 minutes of hilarity.

TraceOddity Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 A strange one, but imo a total masterpiece is Yes' Tales From Topographic Oceans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine once claimed "Any pub with Revolution 9 on their jukebox should have to endure the track three times in a row as punishment."

Mark Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Maybe because it stinks. There are some great songs on Quadrophenia, like 515 and Love Reign O'er Me, but as usual with the Who, Townshend would rather knock out some pretentious storyarc bullshit, rather than make a quality album like Who's Next.
