I voted for The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, although it is my 4th favorite Genesis album. It is truly amazing how great the top 8 songs on this album are ("In the Cage", "The Lamia", "The Colony of Slippermen", "The Carpet Crawlers", "The Chamber of the 32 Doors", "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", "It" and "Anyway". But that's only about a third of the album, and the rest of the songs have not impressed me as much as the thoroughness of the three earlier Genesis albums. I don't know if you're including live albums though, and this is important as my next favorite after "Lamb" is live... And it's not Seconds Out, it's Uriah Heep Live!

The best double album never was, "Planets" and "Time to Turn" by Eloy.  They were supposed to be released together but the record company put out the first in 1981 and the second in 1982.  Oh wel, they do make two back to back great albums!

Eloy had a double live album if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, I don't have a problem with live albums but I tend to think they should have a separate poll. I did include Ummagumma which is a bit of an anomaly in that it's half live and half studio but everything else is studio. Alive on Planet Earth by the Flower Kings is a good live album too and imo captures them more or less at their peak. Same thing with Seconds Out(again imo).

yeah I think a double live is a different beast.  It's easy to fill 4 vinyl sides with quality in a long and distinguished career, but coming up with 80+ minutes of new material that fits together was rarer.  The newer albums I like are closer in length to traditional LPs (maybe 45-60 mins) than the 75 minute behemoths that some neo bands in particular put out.
