Joseph Smith's First Prayer is a pretty good story song

Also, I didn't see Fire and Rain listed...not completly a story song, but close enough.

Leader of the Band and Another Auld Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg are great story songs as well.

My favorite story teller would be Stan Ridgway:

Camouflage

The Big Heat

Drive She Said (not the official video, but it's a great story)

I could go on and on an on about Ridway's story telling through song. Pretty much every song is a story.

Stan by Eminem is epic.

The River by Bruce Springstein.

Lots of country songs come to mind:

Garth Brooks has a ton. That Summer. Unanswered Prayers. Thunder Rolls is awesome.

I love Whiskey Lullaby by Alison Kraus and Brad Paisley.

Don't Take the Girl by Tim McGraw.

I loved Coward of the County as a kid by Kenny Rogers.

The Gambler is a story song, isn't it?

Since my questionable taste in music is already the stuff of legend, I'm not afraid to admit that my favorite story song is Same Old Lang Syne by none other than Dan Fogelberg.

My least favorite - by far - is the Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald, followed closely by Brandy, which may not actually qualify as a story song, but is so awful it deserves mention nonetheless.
