The Rise & Fall of the Double Album

Discover the golden era of the rock 'n' roll double album, starting with Bob Dylan’s iconic Blonde on Blonde (1966) and ending with Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion I & II (1991). In this episode, we explore classic double albums like Pink Floyd's The Wall, The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street, and The Beatles' White Album. Learn how these records marked the creative peak for many artists before the CD era, starting with Billy Joel’s 52nd Street (1982), changed the landscape into longer, less special albums. Plus, stay tuned as Robert shares his Top 10 favorite studio double albums—featuring a surprising pick for number one!
