Harrington Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I don't know if these count as epics, but anyway.... Gladiator - some fantastic orchestra pieces Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds Superman - The Planet Krypton (very stirring I felt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klankaos Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 There are three truly epic pieces I know of, twenty minutes long. =D Hemispheres, 2112, and Fountain of Lamneth by Rush. They're awesome. Being immature is a part of being mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yomom1919 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Help define what kind of epic you're looking for. I have some idea what you mean by epic, but there's just so much epic music out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan18 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 the requiem for a dream soundtrack is pretty epic, if you dont have it already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 the requiem for a dream soundtrack is pretty epic, if you dont have it already That's pretty much a given on topics like these. Can add The Fountain to it also. Dune (by Toto) has a pretty epic feeling part to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blushenka Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Quoting from one of my lastfm journals: By ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâepic̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ I mean a song with a compelling atmosphere, regardless of theme or genre. One of the criteria for fitting into this list is that the song tells a story, either through the lyrics or the melodic line can weave a story in itself. Or, ideally, it can be a combination of both. The listener needs to be drawn into the song like into a good book or a good movie.

Abelmisi Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'm surprised nobody mentioned O Fortuna yet... I am too. :) The full name of the piece is Carmina Burana O Fortuna - Carl Orff by the way. Video of the song: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7xCB6-h3wbs (300 + O Fortuna = maximum level of epicness) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Boston - More Than a Feeling, in it's own kinda way I think's epic. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordanFreeman Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Alot of Yes's stuff is pretty epic. Relayer, Tales From Topographic Oceans, Close to the Edge...to name a few. Also, Kansas has some great guitar that has an "epic" feeling to it in Masque and Leftoverture. And check out Klaatu's song Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft, I don't know if that'd be epic to you, but it seems like it to me.

flying_death_bombs55 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Bodies- drowning pool. Ps: I'm not sure what you mean by "epic"...... When you mentioned the Dragon Plates I had a sudden vision of a load of gangsters running around in fancy dress yealling "Grim Reaper in da hood!"

Jaziek Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Bodies- drowning pool. Ps: I'm not sure what you mean by "epic"...... very good song, but not really epic. A lot of iron maiden stuff i would consider really epic. Paschendale, Dance of the dead, rainmaker, the list goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryomancer Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 If you're going for epic, then Stairway to Heaven probably wins. One by Metallica also fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
