I'm surprised that nothing by Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits or solo) has appeared yet. He is one of the very finest storytelling songwriters in my view. I'm more than happy to change this lack of representation...

If you want epic and you want storytelling, you can't get much better than the superb Telegraph Road:
Telegraph Road


Tunnel Of Love and Brothers In Arms are almost every bit as good:
Tunnel Of Love


Brothers In Arms


Some other really good Knopfler/Dire Straits storytelling songs:
In The Gallery


Wild West End


Skateaway


Sailing To Philadelphia (a duet with James Taylor)


Speedway at Nazareth (highly recommended for petrolheads)


The Trawlerman's Song
