Yu Yu Hakusho was massively popular in Japan; I believe that it outsold DBZ at one point.

Yeah, Dragon Ball sort of has a lot of related stuff throughout, right, which I mean reviving people with Dragon Balls, the enemies getting annoying, long battles that take 15 episodes to watch that take place in a 20 minute time period(Frieza vs. Goku), and the good guys mostly always winning the big battles? For YYH, it's ALL different, which I mean like in the tournament, watching it for the first time, you never know who will win or lose their battles. Probably YYH outsold DB because YYH had non-similiar stuff in it. It was all different.

Yes, I've watched it. I've read the manga. I suppose I should clarify my remark.
Dragonball Z does not have a story in the sense that, say, Record of the Lodoss War or Berserk has a story. It is the animated equivilant of an anthology of short stories, each of which happens to star the same characters. The various sagas, although they reference each other, are self-contained stories. Although Dragonball Z has a single, general premis, it has no single, coherent storyline. Ranma 1/2 would be an example of another anime like this.
Each of the other animes I just mentioned are like an animated novel. They have a single, coherent storyline, with each episode building upon that story, until the series reaches its (single) climax.

I never hear talk of the original DB anymore. To me, I sort of like DB better than Z, but GT is getting good. I'm where they are on CN when Goku is in his monkey form and about to kick Baby butt.
Anyhow, DB had more adventure in it, and unlike DBZ in some ways, it followed more of a story. Here's the rundown:
Emperor Pilaf Saga-At the end, Goku says goodbye to Yamcha and the others and goes off to Master Roshi's to train.
Tournament Saga-Goku arrives and then meets Krillin. He then enters the tournament.
Red Ribbon Army Saga-After the tournament, he says goodbye again and goes off to look for the Dragon Ball his grandpa had. He also runs into the Red Ribbon Army.
General Blue Saga-After Bulma joins Goku in the search for Dragon Balls, they soon run into General Blue, one of the most dangerous of the army.
Commander Red-After beating Blue, Goku continues on and meets new friends and hopes to take down the army.
Fortuneteller Baba-Goku takes down Black then goes to find more DB, but has to fight enemies for Baba.
Tien Shienhan-Goku continues on to train for the upcoming tournament.
King Piccolo-King Picollo spreads his reign of terror about the earth.
Picollo Jr.-Before being completely destroyed, KP left another him behind to get revenge on Goku. He also fights in the tournament.
And that's it!! I think I did alright. To me, the WHOLE DB series follows a story, wouldn't you say? Not like Z, there's a whole bunch of stories(in a way.)

The original Dragonball was more entertaining, and at least marginally more coherent than DBZ.
