What is the most EPIC song you have ever heard?

Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen.

So awesomely epic it doesn't need a youtube posted in the thread.

or for you nerds (Robert Maxwell pointed this vid out to me)

I am having trouble choosing between two songs

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple

or

It's a Long Way to the Top
- AC/DC

I will make my mind up soon (I hope).
 
As far as epic Queen tracks go, for my money both The March of the Black Queen:

And The Prophet's song:

Are better than Bohemian Rhapsody.
 
@Miss Chicken: I would have gone with It's A Long Way To The Top...

But I love you anyway

It's a Long Way to the Top make me kind of sad every time I hear it because Bon Scott death's really affected me like no other celebrity's death has.

I saw him perform live in 1975 at Hobart City Hall - it is the best concert I have ever been to. Best, but most dangerous - I lost my footing and was trampled. However the bouncers managed to rescue me and I was placed on the steps to the stage were I had the best view possible. I had terrible bruising the next day.

I choose Smoke on the Water because I can't be impartial to any song Bon sang.
 
So many epic songs over the course of my life.

Bo Rhap in the early 70s But on Freddie's last album, there's also the title track, Innuendo. Great song. Couple it to The Show Must Go On, and you have total awesome.

Off the same album as Smoke On The Water, there's a song I much prefer, Picture of Home. And from a few years later, Burn. Dee Purple are a great band.

Amaranth by Nightwish a couple years ago.

Thin Lizzy's Thunder & Lightning is also pretty good. As is Boston's More Than A Feeling

I wish I had access to a band I used to work for, they had a greet anti-religion song called Religion Inc, it was very epic for a four piece doing it live.

Maybe Emerson Lake & Palmer's Pirates.

Skunk Anansie's Charlie Big Potato. Stupid title, great song. Amazing voice. Listen loud.

I've got a feeling there should be some Rush or Perfect Circle here too, shot if I know what, and maybe Iron Maiden's Run To The Hills.

There y'go! I could never choose just one! :)
 
I'm surprised nobody's suggested:
