Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

Zappa Roxy and Elsewhere
Vander Graaf Vital Live
Jane Live, Grobschnitt Solar Music
Gong Live (silver cover 73-75 recordings)
Rory Gallagher Irish Tour
Henry Cow Concerts... Could Physical Graffity be responsible for making an apple fall on Newton's head?

well late 60's but I bought it in the 70's The Pentangle- Sweet Child, such an underrated classic.
I liked Godley And Creme Consequences a lot even though some of the Peter Cook was filler..I enjoyed the music.
Miles Davis Bitches Brew was special
I liked 200 Motels Frank Zappa
Chicago Transit Authority
Johnny Winter Second Winter although it was three sides you still had 2 platters
The Big Ball ...a Warner Brothers variety album
The Kink Kronikles ..but of course a compilation.
Amon Dull II Tanz Der Lemmings
Klaus Schulze X
Mike Oldfield..Incantations
Wendy Carlos Sonic Seasonings
Stevie Wonder Songs In The Key Of Life
Gypsy ~ Same
From Wiki:
The debut double album by the progressive rock band Gypsy. It was recorded at Devonshire Studios, North Hollywood, California, and released in 1970. The album was re-released in 1979 on a K-tel label named Cognito and again in 1999 on CD by Bedrock Records. "Gypsy Queen" is the band's only charted single, peaking at #64. The album peaked at #44 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts in 1970...
I'll avoid the live albums (even the prtial live ones like Mooflower or Umma) or compilations, as there are too many to list, but will include the 60's, if only for the joy of listing Ladyland
JHE - Electric Ladyland
Miles - Bitches Brew
Out Of Focus - Four Letter Monday Afternoon
Magma - Kobaia
Can - Tago Mago
Soft Machine - 3rd
Focus - III
Chicago Transit Authority
Chicago - VII
Chilliwack - II
Quadrophenia
Zeit
The Lamb
London Calling
Amon Duul II - Yeti
Harmonium - L'heptade
To a (much) lesser extent:
The Wall
Tommy
Chicago 2 & 3
Tanz Der Lemming
Wigwam - Fairyport
Grobschnitt - Ballermann
Warm Dust - And it Came to Pass
Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity
Aphrodite's Child - 666
Works I & TFTO
White Album
Goodbye Yellow brick road
Exile on Main St
Physical Graffiti
I guess I forgot about Of 76 was a double
SW is indeed Johnny's best with And and JDWIII, but worthy of the best double album?
Surprised I haven't seen ELO's Out Of The Blue mentioned

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Most of the ones I thought of have been mentioned, but how about a dark horse -
Out Of Focus – Four Letter Monday Afternoon (I always liked that one personally).
...and I'll cheat with one more: Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts (as originally conceived). ;-)
Quite possible Zeit is the TD album I'd keep if I could only have one.
If only for studio double albums, my TOP 10 (not necessarily in order):
- ELO / Out of the Blue
- Elton John / Goodbye Yellow brick road
- Jesus Christ Superstar/ Rock stars version
- Yes / Tales from Topographic Oceans
- GENESIS - The Lamb Lies down on Broadway
- Chicago (2 Silver cover)
- Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St
- The WHO - Quadrophenia
- LED ZEPPELIN - Physical Graffiti
- PINK FLOYD - The Wall (still 1979)
BUT it was mostly the LIVE double albums that for me made a huge mark (again, 10 not necessarily in order):
- KANSAS - Two for the Show
- LED ZEPPELIN - The song remains the same
- QUEEN - Live Killers
- GENTLE GIANT - Playing the Fool Live
- URIAH HEEP - Live
- DEEP PURPLE - Made in Japan
- YES - Yessongs (triple)
- EMERSON LAKE & PALMER - Welcome Back my Friends (triple)
- Jethro Tull - Bursting Out
- Genesis - Seconds Out ( my #1 Live)
During my teen years, those double albums were a major expense but I still had to get them. Now, many of all double vinyl albums have been compressed into a single CD that is not always welcomed but I prefer to have it as a double CD to preserve the original format and song order.
For more of a "dark horse" choice there was Elton's Blue Moves.
Humble Pie-Rockin' The Fillmore
A lot of the albums I would mention are already listed. But I would add:
Kansas - Two for the Show
Gnish-gnosh borble wiff, shlauuffin oople tirk.
Rare Bird - Epic Forest (It came with a 45 size 33 disc also)
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
Natdamperen – Boogieman Eats Frikadeller (76)
White Album, Exile On Main Street, Physical Graffiti, Blonde On Blonde, CTA, Chicago II, Chicago III.
Got a copy of this last week - triple album compilation with some fantastic stuff on it I'd never heard before.
