What makes Hemispheres or 2112 concept albums? Besides the title tracks of those albums I can't see any lyrical connection between the songs.

I like the concept of 2112 very much, but it's not a concept album in my opinion.

So I'm gonna have to say Thick as a Brick.

---
(And these are not prog (even though Maiden is prog-related), but I'll say this anyway, because I like all of these concept-albums so much:
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
King Diamond - Abigail
King Diamond - "THEM"
King Diamond - The Puppet Master)
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
in the tidal destruction the moral melee.

I could never possibly narrow it down to just one album!  A few names that jump out right away are...

Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
Everygrey - In Search Of Truth
Savatage - Dead Winter Dead
Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory
Pink Floyd - The Wall/The Final Cut (I love that album damnit!)

I was just listening to Evergrey's "The Inner Circle" today for the first time really, and I must say it sounds like it has a rather nice concept.  The final track  "When The Walls Go Down"  is simply amazing!  I had to pick myself up off of the floor when it was over.  But to put it on the list after just one listen would be stupid!  I just thought I'd throw that out there though for other discussion...

PoS's The Perfect Element has the best concept IMO (mainly because it blends with the music so briliantly). Brave, Christ 0, Still Life and Animals all have very good concepts as well.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Still Life by Opeth.

A guy is banished from a town where his true love lives, returns many years later to see her killed and himself hung.

How cool is that? Seriously. (I like concept albums that tell a story from beginning to end throughout the album, which surprisingly few of them do)

Tales From Topographic Oceans, though i can hardly understand it.
The Wall, Scenes from a Memory, The Snow Goose & Aqualung are other great ones.

Oh, hands down, The Who Sell Out.
 
Good album, but you can't beat the concept of the band becoming an ultra radio friendly pop band (especially in, what, '67?).

"The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" and "Subterranea". The former is a very exuberant journey into the mind's deepest corners in order to find redemption from one's own selfishness. Freedom must be conquered on the surrealistic verge of madness. The latter is the tragic story of a former captive who attempts to conquer his own freedom and self-affirmation... only to find that his authentic fate is to be a captive. Accepting slavery as the very essence of your truest self... that's a major misery, indeed.
 
    Kind regards.

Nektar's Remember the Future: It's about a blind boy and his magical friend, a giant bird from outer space.  What's more prog than that?!?!

Tweedles, The Resident's recent concept album about a sex-addicted evil clown wannabe.  It's twisted and is full of penises, which is a really weird combination.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
