I think its very hard to justify classic double albums like the two above as being full of 5 star songs! By nature and especially in the 60`s and 70`s, they often had a lot of experimental or self indulgent stuff on them as well!
Double albums were seen as the pinnacle achievement of any great band of the era (Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Who etc) whether it be a studio album or a live set, a chance for the group to put out what they wanted over 4 sides of vinyl.
