No they weren't. It would be one double album if you count them together, but even then they were published separately.

Those Simple Minds albums are obscure even to people who grew up in the 80s. And they were also commonly sold separately

Yes, I know the story, but they thought it as a double album and just couldn't publish it as they wanted in 81. But since 85 or so, they have always been grouped.

Then obscure, maybe, yes, but it's their best album (along with Empires and Dance and New Gold Dream). What a band, those albums are a rare expression of true genius.

They made a 2-disc deluxe edition for the 20th anniversary, but I agree, that definitely doesn't count. And even the second disc of that is pretty much just demos and outtakes. Actually, it looks like same is true for NIN's The Downward Spiral too. Neither are double albums. Especially when there are plenty omissions from this list--Tusk, Bitches Brew, Southern Rock Opera (Drive By Truckers), The Faces I've Been (Jim Croce), The Fragile (NIN), etc.

While I understand The Clash are not exactly an obscure band, I am absolutely blown away that more people know London Calling than Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Both are fatanstic albums.

It's crazy to think that both Tupac and Biggie died the same year they released their double albums.

Props for including "Being There." Great record. Wilco has always seemed to fly just under the radar. Cf. the least given answer on this quiz.

The official name of "The White Album" was of course "The Beatles". Would have been a bit of a giveaway I grant you...

I would suggest removing Jackson now. He has no place here or on any other quiz. In very poor taste.

No one's defending the guy, his music is still important and influential and makes sense to be on quizzes.

i love that songs in the key of life is actually a double album, with an EP on the end. a standard double album wasn't enough for this guy. we'll let him off the hook though cos it is really good
