My vote was for DT's SFAM. Snow by Spock's Beard would be second followed by Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime.

I voted for Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory, but I would have voted for The Who - Quadrophenia if it was on here.

Pain of Salvation's BE, easily. Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick a close second.

And yeah, this poll is missing Pink Floyd's Animals.

And what's the concept/story of Lamb? Other than the music, it isn't very interesting to me. Perhaps I'm missing something? Is there actual meaning behind it like BE, TAAB and Animals?

Of the List Peter Hammill's "The Fall of the House of Usher", which is no surprise, since it is my favourite prog album of all times (the 1999 version). Other albums that should be on the list, but are unfortunately (and undeservedly) little known are Mother Gong's "Fairy Tales" and Nik Turner's Sphynx's "Xitintoday". The latter is a very rare gem which only exists on vinyl; the CD of the same name is a completely different album (only the lyrics are the same).
