Members Mark L Posted June 30, 2017 Members Share Posted June 30, 2017 A bit of fun Pick 28 songs that would constitute your ultimate double album. No genre restrictions and no song-length limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Any band restrictions Mark - does it all have to be from one artist, or can it be from multiple artists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nat whilk II Posted July 3, 2017 Members Share Posted July 3, 2017 Ok , I'm working on it. Shall I do best songs, or the songs that meant the most to me, personally?' There is a difference, you know. nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bucksstudent Posted July 3, 2017 Members Share Posted July 3, 2017 Double albums are generally a bore for me. I never listen to them all in one sitting. The closest to perfection would be Physical Graffiti, but about half of that album is actually leftover tracks from other sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted July 3, 2017 Members Share Posted July 3, 2017 Well there are a lot of options...but for jazz, I'd just be lazy and put Miles Davis's "In a Silent Way" and "Jack Johnson" together, then call it a double album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mark L Posted July 3, 2017 Author Members Share Posted July 3, 2017 Just to let you know, folks, this isn't a "what's your favourite double album?" thread. Rather, I'm asking you to list your favourite songs as if they made up a double album As you can see by my selection, it contains tracks by several different artists/bands Sorry for any initial confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ernest Buckley Posted July 4, 2017 Members Share Posted July 4, 2017 Double albums are generally a bore for me. I never listen to them all in one sitting. The closest to perfection would be Physical Graffiti, but about half of that album is actually leftover tracks from other sessions. I agree. The near perfect albums I can think of run around 40 minutes and always leave me wanting for more. Keep it short, keep it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mark L Posted July 4, 2017 Author Members Share Posted July 4, 2017 There are several songs on your double album that I've never listened to, nat. Might have to pop along to YouTube and remedy that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlamoJoe Posted July 4, 2017 Members Share Posted July 4, 2017 About 95% of Nat's album would do the trick for me as well...Except I'd sub "Slip inside this house" for about 3 other tracks...Oh listening to that song once every thirty minutes or so would be just fine with me..yes it would.
