Can't think of any others that hold up to to the whole four sides scrutiny.

I suspect The Clash and Jam albums will be off most peoples radars

I always skip quite a few tracks when listening to London Calling after all these years.

I'm gonna throw something different out there...


Prince - Sign O' The Times

and add a little Skynyrd - One More From The Road

Norwegian band Motorpsycho have made a whole slew of double (and even 2 1/2!) albums which I would rank all the way up there, particularly..

Timothy's Monster (1994) 2 1/2 sides
Trust Us (1998) - in my personal top 10 of all time!

If forced to choose one double album to top them all, the choice is easy: Electric Ladyland is heads and shoulders above the competition!

FInally, I'll throw out another outsider: Tony Williams Lifetime - Emergency!

Oh, and Miles Davis made some pretty nifty double albums in the early 70s...

Performance: Rocking The Fillmore Humble Pie.

Oh yes. Now yer talkin', Dave.

Physical Graffiti is a favorite, but White Album is great as well. Electric Ladyland would be my #1 choice for best double album ever though.

These were good Live...

LZ- TSRTS
DP- MIJ
Kiss-ALIVE
Rush-ATWOFS
Peter Frampton- FCA
UFO- SITN

OMG! I can't believe you guys missed the best out of all of them. "The Allman Brothers Live at Filmore East".

hehe Sorry that was my fault... The topic is not Dbl Live Albums...
... but yeah ! That's another good Live !

And I completely forgot Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth.

Kiss Alive!
UFO 'Strangers In The Night'
Scorpions 'Tokyo Tapes'
Thin Lizzy 'Live & Dangerous'

Physical Graffiti
TSRTS
Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Genesis)

I would say to keep the live albums out of it. So many good double live albums. But it really narrows it quite a bit when you keep it to double studio albums.
