So this is something I thought of when you make a storyline out of any prog album (that is not a concept album!). I'll do an example with ItKOtCK:


There is a man living in the twenty-first century (21st Century Schzoid Man), he doesn't have any friends and is always alone (I Talk To the Wind), but when he is about to kill himself out of misery (Epitah), he meets someone who can be his friend, but she disappears (Moonchild) then finally he kills himself and goes to hell. (In the Court of the Crimson King) (because King Crimson arguably got their name as a term for the devil, hence  the court of the crimson king would be none other than hell).
Note: Please tell us the tracks that go along with the story like I did.

Now it's your turn!

Ange: Emile Jacotey (although I think this is a concept album)

Here's the plot for non French speakers feckless enough to use a Google translator tool (like I did Embarrassed)

Emile was a Parisian goat herder who fell madly in love with Aurelia, but the latter could not reciprocate his feelings as she had to stay at home and care for her adopted Czech dwarf brother Stanislas who suffered from a rare and incurable type of narcolepsy. Eventually, because of Aurelia's selfless devotion to her brother, a magical fairy grants she and Emile sufficient cash to give to a man responsible for establishing a Day Care Centre for the Vertically Challenged and Chronically Sleepy on a recently colonised Neptune and they all live happily ever after.

A god of some sort (Watcher of the Skies) discovers not a time machine, but a (Time Table[s])! He has to (Get 'Em Out by Friday) or else he'll have his rent raised. However, (Can-Utility and the Coastliners) agree to help Watcher out by throwing out the darn time tables out to the sea, and in doing so, come across beautiful (Horizons). After the sunset, they suddenly get a craving for some nice fried chicken, potato salad, pizza, and broccoli (hope someone gets this Wink). They quickly prepare the meal as they will starve to death and in the last moments, SUPPER IS INDEED READY!

Foxtrot.
Or something like that.

Remission - Mastodon

 

The adventures went on the mission with their vessel (Crusher Destroyer) on their way to the overheated place they where opposed by the very aggressive (March of the Fire Ants).

Half of the crew died in that clash, not long after they had shaken off the first blow, suddenly they saw something massive in front, everyone thought (Where Strides the Behemoth), but one of the crew members was a quick minded fellow whom later achieved the title (Workhorse).

They manage to Stride past Behemoth unnoticed but they did not get fare before they reached a large lake, what they did not realize was that this was the Loch Ness, the home of (Ol'e Nessie), they found that the only way they could get in terms with the old sea-monster was to begin the ritual of (the Burning Man),

Which included putting a random crew member (unwillingly) on fire, then let him burn to ash, soon they got over the Lock. (all hungry, restless and a bit shaken after all the turmoil)  

They arrived at what seemed to be a dislocated train station on the rails they saw an old (Trainwreck) which was left to rust away, not long before they had come to rest the ground was starting to rumble, the ground was shaking like it was an earthquake but it was not earthquake, soon they spotted not only 3-4 horses, but a flock of thousand wild horses running MAD as hell the crew members whom did not manage to take cover were (Trampled Under Hoof) they all died.

The corpses was then thrown into the Lock there it was eaten by a colony of (Trilobite), soon they reached their final destination where they met the final hindrance the powerful, hungry and dangerous (Mother Puncher), the most vicious off all giants in the known world, the terrifying son of the (Elephant man). An old deity whom all its kids turned into vicious creatures - this is the story of Remission
