Sorry, I like Smashing Pumpkins but they don't belong in the top 10 for double albums, maybe top 40. The Mothers of Invention - Freak Out, The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland, The Who - Tommy and Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti deserve to be in the mix before Smashing Pumpkins, even though SP came up where I grew up.

Scorpions ~ Tokyo Tapes

 

This double live in Japan album marked the end of the Uli-Jon Roth era and nicely summarizes the band's output through the 70's. I recently heard a bootleg of the same performance that had a couple more tunes but the recording was very poor.

I'd add Roxy and Elsewhere by Zappa/Mothers.

 

Not that it matters but as to agree, I'd go with:

 

08. Allman Bros - Live at the Fillmore East

 

07. The Who - Quadrophenia

 

01. The Beatles (White Album)

 

The rest of them don't really interest me very much.

I can't believe they left out Tommy and Layla but what do I know?

Balok,
Just HOW do you know that's a double album?

 
My ma and pa tried their hand (or feet) at disco in the late seventies.  They bought the album and I still have it.  Altho I just spent the last 20 minutes looking for it and can't find it, but its around here somewhere.
