Here is an extremely haphazard list of songs that have occurred to me at one point or another as being possibly good sources for stories:

Dessa - The Beekeeper (lyrics) - Kind of evokes a creepy surreal dystopia to me. I'd love to see what kind of worldbuilding could come from this.

Dessa - Dixon's Girl (lyrics)- Okay, mostly I just want femslash based on this.

Dragonette - Pick Up the Phone (lyrics)- Wild girl convinces more serious female friend to go make some trouble with her. Then they get married.

Leslie Fish - Serious Steel (lyrics) - I know this (like most Leslie Fish songs, really), is mostly just "the SCA is so cool, you guys!" but I still want to read about a bunch of medieval-reenactment nerds rebuilding society after the apocalypse.

My Little Airport - My Little K + J (lyrics)- My Little Airport does a lot of little character sketches that could be fun for this exchange, but I particularly like this one, which is about two women falling for each other and is kind of adorable.

No, Really! - Thousand Yard Stare (lyrics)- More dystopia, this one a bit more realistic.

Nochniye Snaipery - Ti darila mnye rozi (lyrics) - If you are noticing a theme here involving lesbians, it's totally coincidental, I assure you.

Tori Amos - Past the Mission (lyrics) - I have no idea what's going on in this song, but whatever it is, it's fascinating.

Also, while Sound Horizon mostly does large-scale fantasy concept albums rather than songs that can stand on their own, there are at least some tracks off of Elysion that are more self-contained and could be interesting for this. (Basically all the tracks that aren't "ERU no Whatever," plus "Majo to Rafurentse".)

Aaaaand I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, but I've already taken forever trying to compile this list and nominations open tomorrow, so I'd probably better just get on with it.
