Famous bands with no double albums: King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Camel, PFM, Jethro Tull, Rush, VDGG. That's why you didn't see them on the list. :) Wasn't the first Magma album a double though?

Jethro Tull's Living in the Past was released in the U.S. in 1972, most of it unreleased material on this side of the pond. A great double album.
From the list, Physical Graffiti. |
Living In the Past is compilation, most of it´s material not unreleased but from singes and e.p. There haven´t also been any great live doubles. I think the point in this has been, that it´s not easy to make an original great double album. I think there are plenty of great double compilations.

Ummagumma off the list, but my favourites include Soft Machine's Third, Magma's Kobaia, Can's Tago Mago, Tangerine Dream’s Zeit, Amon Düül II's Yeti and Tanz der Lemminge, Art Zoyd’s Le mariage du ciel et de l’enfer and Phase IV, and Cardiacs’ Sing to God.

I voted for the Wall because I think it's very consistent for a double album and also I don't think it gets the respect it deserves(at least among prog fans).

Not a fan of doubles but Aphrodite's Child -666 is a rare exception. That gets my vote. Lamb does have the best Genesis music ever (imo) over about 3 sides but goes a bit array around Side 3. I would have voted for that if there was not an 'Other' option.

Perhaps not every single song is up to the same level, but it all flows very nicely and all. Now that you mention it, it might just as well be my favourite double concept album... or very close to it.

Yes, TFATO, but I go for The garden from Unitopia, or Tommy from The Who

I love double albums. Ummagumma was the first double album I ever heard, and it gets my vote. Other faves include Yeti, Tago Mago, Septober Energy, Third, and a heap of live ones.

I've always heard that there is a lot of filler on that TFK double. Do you agree with that?

TLLDOB has more filler than SWA in my opinion.

controversial. I tend to think that most Flower Kings albums are just filler although I do love Banks Of Eden.

It's all about personal taste but I don't think it's all that controversial knowing that Steve Hackett and Tony Banks were losing interest during the latter recording sessions of the LLDOB album and it shows in the last 30 minutes or so of the album. If TLLDOB wasn't a concept album would we be talking about the album in such glowing terms?
