[martyndormer]

I would humbly suggest Colosseum Live, my favourite rock live album.

[ericbgordon]

Aces for including the second eponymous *Chicago* album here. Chicago has not received the kind of credit coming to that band for the amount of innovative work they did in their early days.

[ianblack]

Quadrophenia is definitely in the top 5

[mikefannon]

Allman Brothers - Live at Fillmore East!

[jameswestmoreland]

What about Johny Winter's 1 1/2 double album ? The second record Had music on one side, the second side was blank.

[russellcampbell]

you've got most of the good ones there. Here's one which might scrape into the "rock" category. It's certainly a great double album. - "Lubbock on Everything" by Terry Allen.

[michaelspeckmann]

Can Tago Mago, Aphrodite's Child 666, Amon Duul Yeti are all missing in action...and Captain Beefhards Trout Mask Replica for strangeness 😵‍💫

[kfrelander]

My top 5:
1. Stairway to Heaven
2. Trampled Under Foot
3. Good Times, Bad Times
4. Heartbreaker
5. No Quarter

Just my opinion
