Third would be no. 1 of course, then some of these, perhaps:

Can-Tago Mago
Embryo-Embryo's Reise
The Enid-Anarchy on 45
Godspeed...-Lift your...

Just some I could think of that I thoroughly enjoy off the top of my head

I don't want to include albums I don't enjoy too much, therefore there are no The Lamb.. by Genesis, no Tales from Topographic Oceans by Yes, no The White Album by The Beatles, no Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin there.
 
Actually, I can name only two double studio albums, namely: Present by Van der Graaf Generator and The Wall by Pink Floyd.
 
Also, if you want to count Third by Soft Machine as a double album (I have it at one single disc), then it can be included as well as The Fall of the House of Usher by Peter Hammill (once again, I have it at one disc, but it can be divided into two vinyls (I think)).
 
And, maybe, The Nightcap by Jethro Tull...

Chicago Transit Authority
Soft Machine's Third
Who's Quadraphenia
Cream's Wheels On Fire
Zappa's Shiek Yabouti

although it should be noted, two of these while released as double LP sets. now each fit onto a single sub-80 minute CD (BTW Zappa's Joes Garage was originally issued as single and
a double LP set - so really formatted as a treble).
