Epic as in a long grandiose song:

Hotel California
Shine on you crazy diamond
Another brick in the wall
Gimme Shelter
Sympathy for the Devil
A Day in the life
Sgt. Peppers- as done live by McCartney where they really drag it out
Baby O?Riley
Bohemian rhapsody
Stairway to Heaven
The Rain Song
Ten Years Gone- and a few other Zeppelin songs
Free Bird- Annoying? Yes. Epic? Certainly.
Badge- as done live by Clapton. He turns a lot of his songs into long epic pieces live.

As an U2 fan I?ll throw up ?Bad?
No one really seems to do the long Epic songs as much these days.

In response to the person who said ?no Motown? I would offer up Aint No Mountain High Enough by Diana Ross at 6 minutes it certainly qualifies.
I think you could also add Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys even though it is rather short. But musically it certainly is an ?epic? song.

Indeed he does. :thumbsup:

Sash! - Ecuador
DJ Visage - Schumacher / Formula One
PUSH - Universal Nation
Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel
4 Strings - Diving Club (Mix)
Ivan Van Dahl - Castles in the Sky Couldn't find the non-vocal remix of this, but it's still good.

Pfff.. You guys are all missing the best epic song ever:

Duel of the Fates by John Williams from Star Wars.

Hans Zimmer has a few good ones too.

 

[ViviTheMage]

[Drakkon]

Europe - The Final Countdown - doesn't get more epic than that

Every song played by The Decemberists last night, at the Vic in Chicago, to kick off their "long and short of it" tour.

Yep, that's because Sash! - Ecuador is tehe L33t S4uc3 S0n!111111

Seriously, tracks like that are epic and happen once a century, however I wish the original one was made without that Ecuadorian guy yelling throughout it, because the instrumental work on that track is just brilliant, simple and one of it's kind at that time, it was a one hell of a pioneering track that launched Sash! globally, everyone liked it Trancers and non-Trancers alike, I consider it to be one of the main pillars of the golden Trance age of the mid 90's
To those days :beer:
