I've always been fond on 8-bit and chiptune songs. It's frustrating though, because there aren't many artists actively making chiptune songs anymore.
Have you heard 8-Bit Cosmos? It's one of the few 8-bit songs that I like.

Recently, I've really gotten into a band called Coheed & Cambria. What really interests me about them is that, all of their albums are part of one connecting storyline (although the last three albums have been prequels). I like concept albums as a whole, so a concept discography grabs my attention even more (see also Ayreon). Not to mention, there's even comic books of the storylines.

Some of my favourite tracks from them:

O_O  That is pretty cool- music with a storyline?  Is it still music or a musical?

No alarms and no surprises

Silent, silent

This is my final fit
My final bellyache

With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

I would say "music that tells a story". It would take way more than one listen to truly get a grasp of what's going on (unlike say, Dream Theater's Metropolis pt 2, or any of Ayreon).. I still have a little trouble figuring out which song tells what chapter. :P

I suppose so.  In all reality, all music tells a story, either of an experience, an event, or an emotion.   ;)  The only difference is that these songs continue a story instead of having it end in one song.

Idea: Someone should make a website/ forum so people can tell what stories they think are behind music. It'd be cool to see everyone's ideas...

I'm sure there is one already... This is the Internet.
I've found some sites already that find the meaning of the lyrics of many songs... although many are filled with people acting smart. :\

IIRC, most of Voivod's discography until 2005 is the story of a post-apocalyptic knight called Voivod.

That would be pretty awesome, especially for the music I like...  Like Radiohead, most of their words you cannot understand.

Yeaahhh FoD rules. Btw there is probably more chipmusic being composed today then ever. Check out this site, or some of these excellent netlabels.

Btw I'm making chipmusic, too ;)

@Not a Number: You should check out Rhapsody of Fire if you like fantasy stuff. Their musical albums tell a continuous story as well.

Indeed, they're a great power metal band too. However I think their 2002-present stuff isn't as great as their past stuff. Too slow or not melodic enough. Another nice artist is Peter Crowley Fantasy Dream, who is a solo artist, but I think he recently wrote a story for a music album.

     You know how I said my taste in music changes? I found a new band that I like: Bag Raiders. An alternative group, mixed with a little bit of pop, synth, and maybe even some disco. Sunlight and Gone Away are my favorites of their songs.
     I never expected one of my ideas on a forum to get popular! I think a thread would be a great idea.
