Billy Joel is a great storyteller songs like "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" "Ballad of Bily the Kid" and "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out On Broadway)" are all brilliant stories. Dylan is a great storyteller as well obviously.
Most Fairport Convention songs are brilliant stories, and not to forget Concept Albums that have a coherent plot. Like Mountain Ash Band with "The Hermit" |
Hmn, songs that tell good stories eh...I guess a few come to mind pretty quick:
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime (whole album) Jon Anderson - Olias of Sunhillow (whole album) The Flower Kings - A Vampire's View Primus - Tommy the Cat Iron Maiden - The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg |

Cursive - Driftwood: A Fairy Tale.
Self explanatory. |
Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman) and Rosetta Stoned are two back-to-back songs by Tool that tell the story of a man who sees a spaceship land and meets aliens and they tell him that he's 'the one' but he forgets to bring his pen so doesn't get to write all the alien stuff down so nobody believes him.

Put "The Trees Rush Ayn Rand" into google and it makes for interesting links if you are interested. |
