Double the Music – Double the Fun

Double Albums are rare in music these days, but in the 60s, 70s and 80s they were celebrated with reason and purpose. Here are a few more significant ‘double album’ moments in music history.

From the Windy City of Chicago comes the “Chicago Transit Authority,” who offered a double album as their debut project, releasing nine songs on two discs that contained the hit tunes “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is,” “Beginning,” and “Questions 67 and 68.”

Led Zeppelin’s ‘Physical Graffati’ was a double album that showed the love to Zeppelin fans, and gave the world one of the best rock songs of all time, “Kashmir.”

“The Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East” was the band’s third album released in 1971 and sold millions of copies, containing “Whipping Post,” and “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.” The double album is considered by many to be the grates live rock and roll release of all time.

The Beatles ‘White Album’ may be the most memorable; it contained all the hits, including “Helter Skelter,” which was sadly associated to the Manson murders.
