Pirates / Emerson Lake and Palmer....
Lyrics by Greg Lake and Pete Sinfield...
an epic story of life on the high seas, a song I have performed dozens of times, and the real weird thing, the only song I never needed an autoque for, such was the language and mitre of the lyric line,
The version here contains the lyrics, though Lake's crystal clear vocals make it easy to hear what's being sung, even around the fullness of the band and orchestra...

How about an album that tells a story then 25 years later a the second part of the story is told on the sequal album? QUEENSRYCHE'S Operation Mindcrime I and II.

Loved the first album the minute I heard it first, the second isn't that spectaculair.

Talking of albums telling stories, my hero Alice Cooper has made some brilliant albums telling a story:

Welcome to my nightmare: It's about the boy Steven and the things he is afraid of in his youth.
Alice Cooper goes to hell. Little Steven can show Alice the way out of the hell where is walking around, but only if he stay's awake.
From the inside: The album about his time in the clinic and the people he met there while he was getting healed from his alcoholaddiction.
Brutal planet: The album is about the wrongs on this world. Alice is called the king of Shock rock, because he like to scare people while he is on stage. Guillotines, gallows., swords, people getting killed, but he shows with this album that the world outside often is much worse.

As a single song, probably more than any other, 'the ballad of Dwight Fry', but 'the last temptation' was a terrific offering from later times... Alice's work with Bob Ezrin was for me his most creative... Love it to death and killer the must have albums, but muscle of love was a great album before he disbanded the old line up...
