Who Made 2 Great Double Albums?

Two hippies talking:

So dude, we were talking about great double albums, and live albums don't count.

OK, Who made 2 great double albums?

Yes.

No, Yes made one crappy double album, Tales from the Topographic Oceans.

Right.

So who recorded the double album Tommy, the first Rock Opra, about a deaf, dumb, and blind kid who played pinball, in 1969?

Yes!

No, Yes' concept album, Tales, is stupid with only 4 songs but with a cool Roger Dean cover of alien fish swimming in space. I am asking a question, who recorded the double album Quadrophenia, about Jimmy, an English mod with 4 personalities, in 1973?

The answer is Who!

OH, I understand ... the Band.

No, The Band's Last Waltz was a triple album ,and a soundtrack, and we aren't counting live albums.

I thought you meant albums by the crappy 90's band, Live, with the stupid album names....

    Since your musical range seems to include only classic rock, I'll weigh in with some of the great double albums of the alternative 80's:

    Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Welcome to the Pleasuredome
    The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
    Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
    and Prince - Sign O' the Times
