Generally, Arcade Fire have good storytelling in their music, and it’s good too (and understandable lyrics on first listen)

Sprawl II

Song off new album, Age of Anxiety I is pretty good

A lot of Bob Dylan songs,Hurricane is great

Does the story have to be true? Tweeter and the Monkey man is a great story/song

Telegraph Road. Dire Straits

Ode to billy joe - by Bobby gentry - there was a movie made after inspired by the song.

Simon and Garfunkel - America. Should be taught in schools.

Convoy - by C.W. McCall.

There was a movie made after that too.

Stan by Eminem,

Whatever you think about the guy and his music that is a banger of a tune and tells a story throughout.

The River, Bruce Springsteen

Jack and Diane,John Mellancamp

Into The Great Wide Open, Tom Petty

Against The Wind ,Bob Segor

Some other Billy Joel songs are similar with a decent story to them... Allentown, Movin Out,

The Defamation of Strickland Banks by Plan B is an entire album that tells a single story, and it's incredible music.
