Little Feat "Waiting For Columbus"

CSN&Y "Four Way Street"

I picked just one for my choice, Quadrophenia imo the best double as far as studio albums go. If i was to add one live double, by far and away it would be Little Feats Waiting for Columbus. Many albums others have posted here are in my collection and could make the list but i will stick to my (new) limit of one studio and one live double. Edited by JTM

Yes I will agree with Ally & JTM Waiting For Columbus is my fav ever live record and if you want "Hoy Hoy", a very hard to find collection double platter by the Feat

:slapface: How the bejeezus did I forget "Waiting for Columbus"? :bagoverhead:

Actually, there's a few other great double-live albums I forgot...Rory Gallagher, Van Morrison, Iron Maiden, Blue Öyster Cult. Maybe I should eliminate live albums from the criteria...that would make it easier to get the list under 20.

CP : Hoy Hoy is a great one !

JTM : Nice choice and you're right, there are many great ones to choose from. I must admit that most that I would list are live as opposed to studio but I'd only include official release albums :) . For other's here that are big soul , funk fans, they may want to add EW&F : Gratitude and AWB: Live In Montreux. Two absolutely stellar albums

Just looked at the results, Pink Floyd's The Wall has the most the votes, 2nd is The Beatles White album and third is Physical Graffiti.

All that says to me is that there's a lot of miserable gits out there that like being miserable. If you want to wallow in misery, Pink Floyd's your band.

Crikey! I just had a look at that link...it's Go Daddy.com ferchrissakes...that website is for cretins and they have some of the most annoying ads on television. Their poll means doodly-squat.
