The Lamb
The Wall
Tommy
Ummagumma
 
No others for now.
 
EDIT: I guess Godbluff/Still Life, but that's stretching the rules a bit, it seems.

OOOH ! In my list there's another "Live" one, Deep Purple's "Made in Japan". You can drop it out and put it "Hymns to the Silence" by Van Morrison.
It's hard to find original double-albums I'm really happy with from start to finish, truly. The Beautiful South originally had "Painting it red" conceived as a double album, and, for a LIMITED EDITION only, it WAS ( I'm a lucky owner of this ). If it were a regular double-album I'd even put it onto top, though I'm not a Beautiful South-Fan at all...

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Ayreon - Into The Electric Castle, Dream Sequencer, Human Equation

I'll think of a top 5 then post later.

Sorry,
then it's very hard, cause BJH's "Live Tapes" is my favourite double-album from all time.
add Genesis/The Lamb now.

I think that Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" is worth the addition, too
( Led Zep's "Remasters" is a sampler, you can ommit it from my List or else we end up with a load of samplers and I don't believe that's what this tread is about/should be like .

Do The Mars Volta's albums count? The vinyl editions are double albums.

For me...

666- Aphrodite's Child (fantastic- truly superb album which deserves much more attention than it gets- nothing else sounds quite like it)

Third- Soft Machine (another unique album that I love)

Yeti- Amon Duul II (love the long warped guitar workouts on this album)

The Lamb Lies Down...-Genesis (well actually I must be in a minority in slightly prefering the second half of this- some of Genesis' very best work)

TFTO- Yes (a classic imo- not the folly its reputation suggests and I love it)
