Oh god I love songs that tell a good, epic story... so many of such songs in my collection...

To name a few...

Supper's Ready - Genesis
Owen's Lament - Augie March
The Musical Box - Genesis
Albert Namatjira - Not Drowning, Waving

Are to name but a few...

I love bands with theatrical lyrics, that have stories you can get all rolled up in, words which move you as much as the music...

Hey, country music has some of the best storytelling lyrics of all genres out there - don't be ashamed!

That song, Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror, Ethan linked in a mixtape awhile ago is quite the harrowing tale.

Josh Groban's Awake. Wonderful lyricism packed in there, imho.
