Poll question: Best Double Album

1. Puhleeze - you have to ask?

:7

4. How did I know which one you would pick?

Since The Who and The Clash are my 2 favorite bands, "London Calling" and "Quadrophenia" are 1 and 1a on my list.

6. The funny thing is that I actually appreciate it more now than I did

when it was first released. BTW - I'm a major Who fan as well. In fact, it's because of Pete Townshend that I even knew of the Clash - he was so excited by them when they first formed in London.

Anyway, the thing that is remarkable about both albums (and others on the list) is the fact that they have stood the test of time - neither album sounds dated.

13. I didn't listen to " London Calling" until 1981.......

....of course, I had heard "Train in Vain" on the radio when it was released in the spring of 80, but it wasn't until I went to college in 81 that I heard the album in it's entirety.

I had friend who was a huge punk fan. He turned me on The Clash, The Ramones, The Pistols, etc.

Your right, it does hold up after all these years. It sound as fresh and relevant today as it did 25 years ago.

18. I was listening to the song "Clampdown" from London Calling the

other day. I was thinking to myself how relevant the music of the Clash still is today.

"We will teach our twisted speech,
to the unbelievers...
We will train our blue eyed men,
to be young believers..."

Amazing album, amazing songs, amazing band!! These guys definitely knew what was up when it came to politics and government.

3. Wu-Tang Forever

[ZoCrowes]

5. Derek and The Dominoes

Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

My all time favorite record. Claptons passion and the pure chemistry that he had with the band (especially Duane Allman and Bobby Whitlock) just make that whole thing magical

[Floogeldy]

8. "Wheels Of Fire"

For the love of fucking gawd!

14. CSN&Y - 4 way street

Ok, maybe it's not the best but it has classic stuff and great memories.

[Radical Activist]

15. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Is one of the greats.

17. I had to pick "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"

because it's the first album I ever bought myself when I was 14.
