Great albums over 70 minutes in length

Loui_Tacceh [Edit] [Delete] 71 replies 01:27 May 6th, 2012

Mansun - Six
Cardiacs - Sing To God (probably my favourite album ever)
Soft Machine - Third

there's more. but I'll sportingly declare at 3. oh, except I'm pre-emptively obliged to state that 'yanqui uxo' is GYBE's masterpiece, so there. and yes, 'david comes to life' is really good

please try to select albums that manage to sustain the brilliance for all 70+

Oneida - Rated O

Triple album. The last song alone is about 20 minutes long. I often think the members of Oneida must constantly thank their lucky stars that the rest of the group ALSO want to make batshit art rock triple albums.

- Oneida are so fucking underrated
  
  monsterously good band. psych has never sounded so awesome as weaponised by that band.
  
  Kid Millions is right up there in the pantheon of genius stickspeople.

Mansun - Six (seconded)

Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie
Tindersticks - I
Tindersticks - II
Eels - Blinking Lights

M83 - Hurry Up... maybe..

This is a curious category - long albums are going to be either dominated by Best Of collections or Double Albums.

I would put Six and Tindersticks I as two of the finest records ever put to tape.

Hip Hop's time to shine

The Cold Vein, College Dropout/Late Registration, Stankonia/Aquemini, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 1 & 2, Funcrusher Plus, Fantastic Damage, Underground Kingz, De La Soul is Dead, All Eyez on Me, Black on Both Sides, Life After Death, Like Water For Chocolate…

Probably many others. Obviously for similar reasons, there's bargain buckets full of albums that could've been great if they didn't have so much filler.
