Country is the perfect genre for this kinda thing.

I'll go with Matthew Good's A Single Explosion. The album the song comes from (Hospital Music) is about him coming to grips with all kinds of crap - mental illness, overdosing on antidepressants, and a divorce. He wrote the album while in a psych ward.

That sounds interesting, mc. I should give it a listen.

Fixed that for you Trollheart!

Ditto almost all of the folk genre from traditional British through to Bob Dylan, so really "story songs" is a category too big to be useful. Having said that, I feel that "Lily, Rosemary And The Jack of Hearts" deserves a mention as a rhymed narrative that runs for 16 verses without a repeated line anywhere.

One can look at a number of acts from New Jersey for good storytelling songs - Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Gaslight Anthem.

Airborne Toxic Event's lyrics are often telling stories. Sometime around midnight is an excellent example. They're most recent album, Hollywood Park, is based on the singer's memoirs of the same name. It's an excellent album.

Haha, my first thought when reading the title of this thread was Eminem's Stan. Great song. Will never get old.
