Major artists that don't have an epic song


A song that.could start slow and build to an over the top finish or middle. There will be some arguments on this post.  One artist that comes to mind is Bad Company. Fleetwood Mac. The Rolling Stones. The Yardbirds. Ok scratch that one because songs in that era were mainly short. Journey.

Santana blew all others off stage at Woodstock, August 1969 : )

There are two new interesting vinyl releases from that fantastic performance.
One https://www.discogs.com/Santana-The-Woodstock-Experience/master/1026458 has many great reviews, how about the other   https://www.discogs.com/Santana-Woodstock-Saturday-August-16-1969/release/10170029  ?

Santana´s Europa, 1976 is an epic tune from the maestro himself.
Nothing, I mean nothing starts slow and builds like Otis Redding's Try a Little Tenderness.
A lot of Pop groups (as opposed to Rock bands), like The Rubinoos, The Ramones, ABBA, and The Flamin' Groovies. Also true American-style Rock 'n' Roll bands (as opposed to Rock bands) like Rockpile, Los Lobos, NRBQ, and The Dwight Twilley Band.
