When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

Porcupine Tree seems obsessed with "extremely deranged people" since In Absentia..
DT overdid alcoholism
Rhapsody OVERUSES
"dragon" "fire" "elvish" "mighty" "glory" "sword" "dungeon" and MANY OTHERS 
Blind Guardian OVERUSES the words "bliss" and "beauty"
Tool seems to have common themes in Lateralus and 10000 days about deliverance and salvation.
But hey there's just SOOOOO many interpretations of tool's music that anything could be true..

Pink Floyd has some, but its kind of subtle. I dont remember it off the top of my head. Some of it is reoccurring musical themes as well. And In the wall (the movie), young pink recites lyrics from "Money".
Arsis continues to use "The Promise of Never" as well as a couple more themes in their songs. Theres a point on the album thats just about to be released where it revisits that too. For them its somewhat dissappointing though.
For Pink Floyd I think its intentional, and for Arsis i think its just lack of ideas.

Do musical themes count? Genesis liked to throw classical chord progressions in the middle of their songs, which I think sounds awesome. They also have the whole medieval thing going on in their early music, both musically and somewhat lyrically.

"
I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
Never wanted to go
Always wanted to stay
Cause the person I am are the parts that I play
So I play and I plan
And hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay"
Those lyrics appear on three different Savatage albums with very very slight modification.

I notice alot of recurring themes in Peter Hammill's lyrics .. the line "Frame the words" for instance.
