Name some albums that are stories from beginning to end like a grand don't come for free by the streets. NOT concept albums like Sufjan Stevens where he does songs all about one state, but albums where it's a single story all the way through. |

Prince Paul - A Prince Among Thieves NIN - The Downward Spiral The Who - Tommy ------------------------- That's all I can think of. |

Roger Waters: The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking and Radio KAOS. Sorry, I can only think of not-very-good-ones. Probably because the idea of making an album that tells a story isn't a very good one. Works for classical music. Not for much else. |

Oh, the Wall, too, obviously. |

Recoil - Liquid |

Yeah there's a lot of that in classic rock. I'm looking for stuff that's written in a morel literal down to earth way than highflown poetry and symbolism tho. I will check out that Prince Paul. Don't know recoil. Funny, I expected people to say things that woulod make me go "oh yeah, how could I have forgotten that one?" |

Not sure if Music For Egon Schiele (by Rachels) falls into this category but I throw it out there for the world of xilti to discuss. |

Shpongle - Nothing Lasts... But Nothing is Lost it goes seamlessly from one "chapter" to another. basicly, the album is a one hour track. you could call it a story. check it out. |

Sabres of Paradise - Haunted Dancehall? It seems to follow some sort of narrative. |

This album is the story of a pilots life as his plane descends ground-ward. Rushing past his minds eye are visions of sexual encounters, tales of ghetto lovin', stories of weird existences, insights into various cancers of society which are chewed upon within the lyrics. |

Confield (maybe) |

Intersystems- Free Psychedelic Poster Inside (really odd old canadian electro-psych act...) Armand Schaubroeck- A Lot of People Would Like to See Armand Schaubroeck... Dead (another old psych album... sort of bluesy... very strange, long story sequences between "songs") |

oh, Mondo Medicale by Impaled for death metal fans... i like a few of the songs... it's worth hearing once for the skits. it's something to do with surgery and zombies... i don't know, it's cute. |

i'm not sure if isis - oceanic is but it sounds like one to me and as far as stuff without lyrics, i would take tim hecker's haunt me haunt me and earth's hex as one long story (or at least one long track) |

aren't a few of Tom Waits' albums like that? some of them are musicals, at least... Ry Cooders Chavéz Ravine is a nice album, though the story doesn't only revolve around one person.. it's more the story of a town... |
||||||||

yes you are right, and u also forgot De La Soul is Dead maybe =S |

jude - sarah the mars volta - de-loused in the comatorium the mars volta - frances the mute several (a lot? all?) of felix da housecat albums too... maybe dirt by alice in chains... maybe electro-shock blues by eels (autobiographical)... |
||||||||

there's also quite a bit of opera... |

antony and the johnsons - i am a bird now machina by the smashing pumpkins too (at least billy corgan said so, and the (beautiful) booklet indeed looks like a story, but it's really hard to grasp..) i've heard there also is an album by xtc, produced by todd rundgren, who tells the story of a man from his beginning to his death or something like that but i forgot the title (i don't like what i've heard from xtc so far anyway). |

i'd also be surprised if frank zappa hadn't recorded one... |
