That's a good one. I'm not so sure DSotM qualifies as a concept album, though it does satisfy my second stated criterion. I never really thought of it as a concept album, but I'm sure someone who's more of a Floyd nut here will tell me if I'm wrong (wouldn't be the first time) --- by the same token, The Final Cut should be viewed as a concept album too. And if Ziggy is one (and I guess it is) is not Diamond Dogs also?
