Some of my favorites:

Tago Mago
Lift your...
Third, although one track is live (who cares)
Zeit
X by Schulze

Those are just a few

I couldn't agree more. I can't listen to The Wall. You can almost hear Roger strokeing his ego throughout the album.

 

 

As far as double albums  go my favorite is King Crimson's Night Watch. It's probably my favorite live album. Traffic's On the Road (it's a single CD now) is great too.


Well, that's what the 'The Wall' was, a tribute to pessimism. Musically speaking, of course, it's a spectacular album.
    
 
Now, I have to disagree with you there. It has some beautiful songs (Hey You, Goodbye Blue Skies, Mother) and one of all around great song (Comfortably Numb), but it isn't very good musically. It doesn't have any extended instrumental passages that Pink Floyd had been experimenting with (quite successfully) since Atom Heart Mother. Rick Wright's spacey keyboards, which had become an important part of Pink Floyd's sound, were non-existent. It just doesn't sound like the Pink Floyd that made Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here that I love so much.
 
I don't know maybe I'm the only one who feels that way.

I mean, the 'White Album' seems to count, why not one of Zep's most progressive documents (on official record, of course--certain Zep boots have more intricate performances). Or 'Graffiti' for studio...

The Beatle´s White album and Ayreon´s The Human Equation are by far my favorite double album. Actually I think thouse are the only ones I could give 5 stars...as I already did.
Honorable mention for Tales

O.K., it's the classic example of 'where prog went wrong', it definitely lags a bit on sides two and three, and it's got fewer good tunes/amusing lyrics/great moog solos on it than THE LAMB... but it's the dreamiest album Yes ever made, I don't know how often I find myself humming bits of it, and it's played a major role in my music-lover's life for thirty years, so I say: TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS.

P.S. When I was a teenager, I couldn't get enough of 'Nous sommes du soleil', but these days I prefer Side One.

Two obvious choices, already mentioned:

The Beatles - White Album
Magma - Kobaïa

I haven't made up my mind about TfTO, though I'd like to add The Human Equation by Ayreon.

And if non-Prog albums are OK to mention, I'll add Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin.
