    I thought the thread was great storytelling songs, not which song was the best from a band?

    Rocky Raccoon does not have obla di obla da in it. But Rocky Raccoon is a fantastic storytelling song.

    This is clearly Beatles Blasphemy!!!
    You dismiss Rocky Raccoon but submit maybe the worst beatles song ever?
    How many times do they sing “we all live in a yellow submarine” over and over?


    This is like saying she loves me is a great story.

    I think you just dropped a couple notches on the musical knowledge respect meter after reading this thread.
    ;)

    Has anyone mentioned She's Leaving Home?

    The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. Story with surprise ending.

    Don't suppose Tommy counts since it's a whole album.
