In reply to the discussion: Rolling Stone poll: "What Is the Best Double LP of All Time?" [View all]Miles Archer
(24,328 posts)61. I remember interviews with Jagger right before this was released
Something along the lines of "It's a lot to digest, but I think people will find SOMETHING they like on it."
There is a core set of albums...Let It Bleed, Get Yer Ya Yas Out, Sticky Fingers, and Exile...that represent, for me, the Stones at their peak.
By the time of "Goats Head Soup" they were already turning into something else.
By the time of "Only Rock & Roll," they had already turned into the Ron Wood Stones, just waiting for Ron to show up.

Forgot about the Allmans! Need to pick up the 'Fillmore East' one now that I have a turntable.

I'd go with the expanded 'Live at Leeds' or 'Live at the Isle of Wight' (both double CD's) myself.

Probably the first album that ever made me think of rock'n'roll as high art.

'Wheels of Fire' and Floyd's 'Ummagumma' would both be fantastic as standalone live albums.

I dig Zep in general, but some of their live stuff could be downright painful. 10-minute drum solos

"Electric Ladyland" really builds a case against the posthumous Hendrix albums.
