This is to tell me your favourite studio double album that fit these criteria:

-studio
-can be sequential/simultaneous releases, but had to have been recorded during the same sessions (Use Your Ilusion 1/2, Load/Reload, Kid A/Amnesiac, etc)
-not a greatest hits/b-sides/compilation/previously unreleased package
-not Lost Dogs
Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Quadrophenia and Tommy are the first that come to mind, obviously.
    How about Johnny Winter's Second Winter? It had 2 discs but 3 sides. Killer album.

    It's a toss up between The Ballad of Boogie Christ Acts 1 and 2 by Joseph Arthur and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by the Smashing Pumpkins.
