Greatest storytelling songs

Post by jchitty » Sat May 09, 2009 12:56 pm

Anyone have a list of what they consider the greatest storytelling songs of all time?Here's one of mine..."Ode To Billy Joe." I'll name a few others later. I could also classify it as one of the most haunting songs of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsOf0aB3gx4

"Vincent" by Don McLean and "Same Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelburg. Not to mention "Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie and "I Found a Million Dollar Baby (In a Five and Ten Cent Store)" by Warren/ Dixon/ Rose (1931). And "Brandy" by Looking Glass:
