After our previous episode discussing double albums, we wondered where to go next. We decided to turn the podcast up a notch, and discuss triple albums; much rarer than double albums, but many of them are landmarks in the history of rock music.

Episode #310: Double Albums
We talk about double albums, which used to be a thing back in the LP day. They were special, because having an album with twice the music was (almost always) great. But they disappeared starting with the CD era and, now with digital, they don't exist any more. We talk about great double albums.
