Agreed TAAB and APP are two of my all time favorites. I would actually consider those 1 song albums, though. But, I guess by definition if you include the "THWLHS," there really are three parts in APP. 

I think the format of one 20-minute  song and then two 10-15 minute songs  works really well. I guess there's just not that many, since that makes for a 35-45 minute album and everything these days seems to much longer than that. I also like that length of album better, but as we all know with CD's... those days are gone.

Mike Oldfields Ommadawn is technically 3 tracks - Side 1, Side 2, On Horseback. But it is counted as just one song

Osanna's Palepoli is a great 3 song album

Mahavishnu Orchestra Live album Between Nothingness and eternity is great probably the most energetic live album i've heard from the 70's

and Magma's second album 1001 degrees centigrades is enjoyable aswell.

can't think of anymore right now

I really enjoy the 3 song album format. You have Close to the Edge and Relayer from Yes, Pawn Hearts from VDGG. You also have Animals from Pink Floyd (I know it's really 5 songs, but I count that as well). What else is out there that I'm missing?
