I don't see one but we could always make one. How does this look? (pulled mostly from RYM but edited to exclude albums that already appear on other lists):

Symphonic Rock

1. Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado (A New World Record is technically higher in the chart but I put this in for the sake of including it)
2. Devil Doll - Dies Irae
3. Malice Mizer - Merveilles
4. Jean-Claude Vannier - L'enfant assassin des mouches
5. Spiritualized® - Let It Come Down
6. Foetus - Love
7. MEER - Playing House
8. Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Beethoven's Last Night
9. Nikolo Kotzev - Nostradamus
10. Alquin - Nobody Can Wait Forever

If so the new Symphonic Prog list would look like this:
Spoiler for edited list:
Symphonic Prog

1. Yes - Close to the Edge
2. Camel - Mirage
3. Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
4. Gentle Giant - Octopus
5. King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
6. Änglagård - Hybris
7. Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte
8. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
9. Renaissance - Scheherazade and Other Stories
10. Genesis - Foxtrot
