eh. im 16 and my preference of the lamb over the wall is basically.. well..
id give:
Quadrophenia 10(15)
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 9(14)
The Wall 8(11)
I would get quadrophenia first because: it IS definitely better (even if by not an astounding amount, in my opinion), its easily the best studio Who album (and I prefer it to the live ones, but thats just me), its far more accessible. The Lamb is a mess, musically and lyrically. However, it's a beautiful mess, and has a TON of fantastic songs (but just as many pointless instrumentals). Definitely get Quad first though.
and John has a point, you may want to wait on the Lamb. At least don't make it your first Gabriel album. I'd do Foxtrot first. or even Genesis Live because it shows all the good sides and none of the bad (not that Foxtrot has any bad at all - Genesis Live ALSO has "Hogweed" and "Musical Box")
