And Missionary Man and Don't Ask Me Why are better than both so HAVE A SIP O' THAT.

I have heard far more Annie Lennox solo songs than Eurythmics stuff. After hearing that one song 723624648409 times I had no interest whatsoever in delving into their discography. I know I'm probably missing out. On a side note, I absolutely love Annie Lennox' Diva album.

 

[bono_212]

I prefer almost all of the Annie songs I know. Walking on Broken Glass is probably tops, but her cover of Don't Let it Bring You Down is a close contender.

My favorite has always been Right By Your Side, oddly enough.

25. Miles Davis - Get Up With It

This is technically a leftovers compilation. A bloody fantastic one, though.

 

[LemonMelon]

I keep shuffling the list around, so if that one doesn't count, Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus can take its place. Get Up With It is a classic though, I wouldn't want any relevant list to be without it.

In researching this list, I didn't know that Wowee Zowee qualified as a double album. It would be way up there, but 55 minutes seemed pretty flimsy.

 

[cobl04]

Where the fuck is Bitches Brew?

 

[LemonMelon]

I prefer Get Up With It.

 

[lazarus]

 

[LemonMelon]

Is this Bitches Brew Interference or U2 Interference?!?!?

 

[lazarus]

In researching this list, I didn't know that Wowee Zowee qualified as a double album. It would be way up there, but 55 minutes seemed pretty flimsy.

How does it qualify? For albums released in the CD-era, if it's on a single disc it shouldn't be considered a double album.

Double vinyl:

Which is bullshit, to be honest. This is the same logic that makes the 108 minute All Things Must Pass a triple album.

 

[iron yuppie]

I prefer Get Up With It.

Me too. More diversity and intensity. Plus "He Loved Him Madly" is one of Miles' finest moments, even if it is a 30-minute moment.

Which is bullshit, to be honest. This is the same logic that makes the 108 minute All Things Must Pass a triple album.

I imagine it's hard to come up with a solid set of rules, but it's a fact that albums by and large used to be shorter (usually less than 40 minutes), and that bands put out albums almost once a year.

If one could find the moment of time when those tendencies shifted, you could formulate a time limit for before and after that date.

I sure as fuck don't consider Wowee Zowee a double album.

 

[lazarus]

We can at least agree that Sandinista is a legit triple album, though. It clocks in at 2 hrs, 24 min. Which is like 40 minutes longer than All Things Must Pass.

 

[IWasBored]

Sandinista = originally on three actual pieces of vinyl = triple album. I don't own it on cd, so I don't know what was done it it there. But if it clocks in that length, I assume double disc.
London Calling = 2 vinyl but 1 when on cd = still a double album. Same with Exile on Main Street, although having owned both of those as a single disc cd I don't really consider either double albums unless I'm making a list of the top 2 best double albums ever released.

 

[u2popmofo]

Sandinista is 2 discs on CD.

Top ten Depeche Mode songs:

1. Never Let Me Down Again (as epic as they come)
2. It's No Good (Dave's vocal on this one is pure seduction)
3. Enjoy the Silence (hooks and complexity perfectly wedded)

And the rest in no particular order:

Everything Counts
Shake the Disease
Personal Jesus
Waiting for the Night
Walking in My Shoes
Sister of Night
Dream On

I'd go with, in no particular order:


Walking in my shoes
Just can't get enough
Condemnation
Rush
Everything counts
Suffer well
Broken
It's no good
Enjoy the silence
Shake the disease


But that's highly subject to change.

Surprised no one has listed Black Celebration yet. Thought that was a big fan favorite.

[iron yuppie]

Black Celebration (the album) never really caught on with me. Violator through Playing the Angel is their gold period, though I'm probably a bigger fan of Exciter and Angel than most.

 

[IWasBored]

In Your Room
Never Let Me Down Again
Stripped
Policy of Truth
Strangelove
World in My Eyes
Barrel of a Gun

If there were ever 7 songs I could have crammed into my list, those would probably be them.
