I'm not even going to try to be objective.

I could probably take, say, being locked in a house for a a couple of months and only having these to listen to; in that vein, I'm also only picking double (at least) albums. In no order,

The Wall - Pink Floyd

Quadrophenia - The Who

Bruce Cockburn - Circles in the Stream

The Band - Rock of Ages

Sheik Yerbouti - Frank Zappa

And in the spirit of 70's excess, I'm going to squeeze in one more,

Santana - Moonflower
