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 .

Now choose yours.
 


Agree with you on your choice #1.  Then, it's

2. Steve Hackett, The Tokyo Tapes
3. Flower Kings, Meet the Flower Kings
4. Pink Floyd, The Wall
5. Yes, Yessongs or Yesshows (either one is good!)

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

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...

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.
