What is the most EPIC song you have ever heard?

[BlobVanDam]

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater. Nothing says epic like a 42 minute song with a 7 minute overture, right?

 

[Yeoman Randi]

I'm surprised nobody's suggested:

Damn! My choice as well....you beat me to it.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Did someone say Nightwish?

[Servo]

Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner (especially the live version from Live After Death)

 

[Alidar Jarok]

I'm surprised nobody's suggested:

Damn! My choice as well....you beat me to it.

Sorry, it just seemed way too fitting to pass up.

Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner (especially the live version from Live After Death)

Yeah, that song seems a bit slow on the CD, but it's absolutely amazing live.

Agreed. When I first heard the album version, I thought it was a good song, but it seemed to plod a bit. Then I heard the live version, and it blew me away.

 

[Tom Hendricks]

I know someone posted Mansell's Requiem for a Dream, but to me, the Fountain is way more powerful.

Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen.

The even more epic Muppet version...

I'd also add Meatloaf's - Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

Excellent!

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning is the End is the Beginning

That song is amazing (even if the movie it was originally part of is not).

 

[Sector 7]

This, which is a part of Star Trek history, as well:

[LitmusDragon]

Probably something by King Crimson like Red or 21st Century Schizoid Man

Oh, another one, Astronomy Domine off of the first Pink Floyd album.

Or maybe "Shangri-La" by the Kinks

The second half of Abbey Road plays like one big song

Led Zeppelin "No Quarter" or "Battle of Evermore"

I can't pick one epic song, there are too many

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Ennio Morricone finale.

Awesome peice of music.
