The Lamb from the list, but The Snow Goose is THE greatest concept album ever.

It's between Tales and The Lamb, both are masterpieces and are very individual pieces from each band. The former is Anderson's/Howe's album and the latter is Gabriel's.

I'll go for Tales since The Lamb will surely get more votes.

The Lamb is more dynamic than TOTO.
 
And The Lamb is more vintage prog sounding than The Wall.
 
So The Lamb for me.

I'm not much of a Genesis fan, and I find the Wall somewhat trying. TFTO is great all the way through, though. I don't understand why it gets so much hatred flung its way.

No Passion Play? Well, in that case, I'll give it to The Lamb!

TTFO and The Lamb are generally unlistenable and a lot of what was wrong with the prog scene at the time. The Wall is pretty neat, though. So the four star release wins over the two two star releases. Smile

Broken Heart

Seriously, I'd go with Tales. It is indeed a very "prog" release, maybe even too prog and in this sense our friend here might not be as awfully wrong as it might seem the first time you read the aforequoted sentence LOL 
Anyway, Tales might not be free of flaws but one cannot say it's not monumental.

It's not a concept. Unless I awfully misread the lyrics of Are You Ready Eddy? or Jeremy Bender...

For the music only: Tales
For the mix between music and concept (expressed by lyrics, performance, etc.): The Lamb
For the most powerful concept: The Wall

Three winners. I voted for Tales simply because it has the least votes.

I already voted for Tales, but what you said are thoughts exactly.
