I'd have to go with any one of a number of songs by Frankie Lane:

Wanted Man
Bowie Knife
High Noon
City Boy

Then there's Sinatra:

It Was A Very Good Year

Billy Joel:

Piano Man
Scenes From an Italian Restaurant

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.
How can you not like Gordon Lightfoot? I'm crushed!

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant is a great song. I had it stuck in my head the other day when I saw the carpet department at Home Depot. "Well, they got an apartment with deep pile carpet and a couple of paintings from Sears..."

A big water bed they bought with the bread they had saved for a couple of years.

They started to fight when the money got tight, they just didn't count on the tears, whoa, whoa, whoa.

So is the italian restaurant scene Brender and Eddie seeing each other again or some other old friend talking about the old days?

Tommy in general is a story album.

Have to agree with the Big L here; great song, not a story song.
