how about Miles Davis? most of his post-69 albums are double albums, some even more.

Most Dream Theater albums would have been double albums if they were around in the 70s (what an intriguing thought)

I disagree. I wouldn't  count the live album of Henry Cow either, although side three and four are completely improvised and hence present completely new and previously unheard material.. A live album is a live album; some artists stay close to the originals, others digress a lot.
Yeah but this is after all just a topic where you list bands with multiple double albums, not rank/rate/compare them in any medium. Unless PA has a competitive soul, there's no reason to get so technical.
 
And besides that, a double release is still a double release, live or studio.

Well, in that case Hawkwind released a few. "Space Ritual", "Live Chronicles", "Love In Space", "Yule Ritual".

Pink Floyd's last studio album The Division Bell is 66 minutes long.  The vinyl version had a number of tracks edited to fit it onto just one disc (except in Russia & Korea, where a double album version was released)

Don't they all put out double albums with the advent of 80 minute CDs.
