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
Hmm yeah ok but I only know one other album in that new list. So you could of course go ahead, but I wouldn't be taking part. Could symphonic rock not be stretched to include symphonic metal? Then I'd know a few - Epica, Within Temptation, Leaves' Eyes, Edenbridge etc. Just an idea. I know none of those guys you listed other than TSO, and even at that, they're more metal than rock, no?
