Favorite symphonic album

   Man, I got a special place in my heart for The Lamb, so that's my pick.
I was about 14 and was already a Rush fan, and dug what Tull, Yes, and
ELP got radio play, but had no particular love for prog music. I heard
the title track on the radio, loved it, and went out and bought the
album. I was like nothing I'd ever heard before: the complex music, the
cryptic lyrics, the trippy story. I was hooked. It was all downhill
from there...

CTTE, Moonmadness, SEBTP, and Red round out the top 5 (in no particular order)
