Which is the better double album?

[Ruby'sRevolver]

Pretty straight forward, which of these classic ROCK double albums do you feel is the best and why?

The Beatles- White Album (1968)

Led Zeppelin- Physical Graffiti (1975)

Pink Floyd- The Wall (1979)

The Rolling Stones- Exile on Main Street (1972)

'Physical Graffiti' is probably the one I've listened to the most. I love 'The Wall' too though. Both have standout tracks for days.

Slightly OT but I think 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' is the best double album of all time.

Exile just over White Album, never dug Physical Graffiti that much, seemed like there was some filler in there, and you can tell that it wasn't all recorded at the same time, doesn't have the coherence of Exile. It's drugged out coherence but still. Also hits most of the Stones greatness from straight ahead rockers to country to blues. It's flawless to me to be honest, which is a feat for a double. Wall is fine, not something I rate that highly either though. Zen Arcade is up there for me when it comes to double albums as well.

^ Yeah, Physical Graffiti was like half new songs and the other half is stuff from years earlier. It's still a very good album, songs like 'Custard Pie', 'The Rover', 'In My Time of Dying', 'Kashmir', 'In the Light', 'Wanton Song', 'Black Country Woman' and 'Ten Years Gone' are really dope. The only track I really don't like is 'Down By the Seaside'.

Yeah, the wall.

I don't like the beatles or the rolling stones so much. And when compared to Physical Graffiti, my ears would just rather listen to Pink Floyd.
