Title: Shortest/longest album you have?
Post by: major tom on June 30, 2008, 03:40:39 PM
What's the shortest/longest album you have?

I'd say for shortest, the Dead Kennedys EP In God We Trust Inc., fifteen minutes, but it's an EP. Shortest LP I have is the Misfits' Earth A.D., about 21 minutes. For longest, it's Led Zeppelin's How The West Was Won at 150 minutes, followed by my Cream compilation at 144 minutes. Aside live and compilation albums, I think my longest studio album is the White Album, 93 minutes.

So you're including live concert for this? I'm just making sure. And the Cream compilation - is that a compilation made by you or an officially released Compilation album?

Probably some double album like All Things Must Pass. That one's over 2 hours if you count the bonus songs. I'm not gonna go into live albums.

I think a thread about longest/shortest song might be easier.

I have some really short singles, and I have some really long double albums and live albums.

My longest officially released (live) album is:

Dave Matthews Band: The Complete Weekend on the Rocks - 8 Discs and 9.6 hours (~576 minutes I think).

If anyone can beat that, props.

Official, doesn't count if you put it together. "Cream Gold" it's called, I bought it when I was first getting into Cream.

I was gonna say Pearl Jam's Live at the Gorge, but I looked it up. 8 hours, seven discs. Damn, you have a long-ass album.

Yeah lol. It'll be hard to beat. I'm not saying there's not one out there, just saying not much. Doubt many, if anyone, has anything that contends with mine and your large albums.

As to smallest, I went through a couple EP's and shortest I found was 16 min. Saosin EP. As far as shortest LP or "full length", I haven't the slightest idea and I'm not going to look for it lol.

Longest - Probably Phish at Vegas 96', 3 CD's and about 5 10 minute plus tracks
Shortest - Everywhere and his Nasty Parlour Tricks by Modest MOuse
