    I don't remember it being mentioned but Goodbye Yellow Brick Road has to be one of the best double albums ever.

    It would have been if it was a single! As a double it's an album too long. If you want a double try blonde on blonde they don't come better than that

    Blonde on Blonde? Username checks out...

    Best double album for me is The River by Bruce Springsteen.

    I remember Highway 61 Revisited being my favourite of those Dylan albums, but I don't think GYBR is too long myself.

    Yes another great double, just thought of another London Calling by the Clash
    This will cause upset but the worst ever? How's about the white album by the Beatles, did some great stuff but that's just self indulgence taken a step too far

    The White Album is good but would've been better as a single with a lot of the filler taken out. I personally prefer The Sketch Drawing Album and The Zebra Crossing Album.

    The White Album is one of the greatest double albums in history. There is no filler.

    They all have their place on the double album and help make it great.

    White Album is better than Sgt. Peppers IMO.

    Live albums? Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York.

    The Beatles is definitely better than Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. The latter isn't in the top 4 The Beatles albums for me.

    It's funny how tastes change. When that Selena Gomez song based on Psychokiller was in the charts a couple of months ago (Bad Liar?) I listened to Stop Making Sense for the first time in ages.

    You'll find plenty of critics who will still call it the best live album of all, but what a load of 1980s squidgy synth/ bass bollocks there is on there.

    The White Album doesn't end too well, for instance the last two tracks.

    Top 4? Top 6 for me.

    Off the top of my head my ranking would be:

    Rubber Soul
    Abbey Road
    Revolver
    A Hard Day's Night
    Help!
    The Beatles
    Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
    Please Please Me
    With the Beatles
    Let It Be
    Beatles for Sale


    Though I prefer George Harrison's All Things Must Pass over all of them.

    Top 5 for me in order are:
    Abbey Road
    Revolver
    The Beatles
    Rubber Soul
    Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

    I was so tempted to do a Partridge and include The Best of The Beatles...
