Symphony X has a couple of good ones if you're into the power/prog metal thing (The Odyssey being the best). Are you familiar with Yes at all? If not, Close to the Edge is a pretty great song (albeit a bit lacking on the "tells a story" side because I have no idea what the hell they're ever talking about in it), and The Gates of Delirium is my personal favourite of theirs, although I know it tends to be pretty hit and miss for people.
