    If we're allowed to choose albums as well...Pink Floyd's Wall would be the most superior tale of the rise and fall of an artist.

    But if we're speaking of just a song...

    Lucky Man - E.L.P.
    Cats in the Craddle - Cat Stevens

    Labyrinth - Chapter 1. I think it's about Louis the XIV falling in love with Catherine the Great, even though as far as I know according to history, Louis the XIV never fell in love with Catherine the Great. o___o It's a good song, tho.

    on the contrary, the large majority of rap DOES tell a story. at least old-school rap.

    i also wouldn't say that a song has to tell a story to be a REAL song.

    I was talking about mainstream rap now. Atleast 75% of the time they don't tell a story. A song doesn't need to tell a story for it to be a real song. I just refuse to call mainstream rap an art form.

    [q=TheAbominatrix]The ultimate story song is Alice's Restaraunt by Arlo Guthree[/q]

    Also very true <3 *nods*
    The Pickle song by Arlo is very good too. (you know..."I don't want a pickle, I just wanna ride on my motorsickle")

    Yeah, Irish songs. Two that have been done by Dropkick Murphys that I can think of now are Rocky Road to Dublin and Wild Rover. (and it's no, nay, never...no nay never, no more)</font>

    Some mainstream rap (OutKast) is indeed very good music. Don't be so closed-minded.

    Which Final Fantasy One Enemy am I?

    You Are TIAMAT; You are the most terrible dragon to fly the skies of the planet. With your many heads, you are all-seeing and all-doing. Though fiendishly powerful inside your fortress of stolen machines, sometimes your terrible abilities are the Bane of your existence...
