Ten Years After’s I’m Going Home at Woodstock is even more epic coming in at 11:24 on Youtube. Maybe the most epic of them all. Excellent sound quality. Headphones are recommended.

I'm disappointed to see members mentioning not necessarily the most epic songs by a band, but rather the old, most popular hits that everyone knows by heart. I must agree with OP concerning Deep Purple and Child in Time. I think that would be their high water mark. Let's see, what else... Sway - Rolling Stones November Spawned a Monster - Morrissey Accidentally Like a Martyr - Warren Zevon Precious - The Pretenders I've Returned - Squeeze Junkhead - Alice In Chains Street Life - Roxy Music It's Over - Level 42 Untogether - Lush Adam and Eve - October Project I could think of a million more, but these are the first to come to mind. |
roxy, I admit to being one who didn't take the term "epic" literally enough. I named titles which I consider epically great, but that wasn't the question. Some of mine do fit the term, such as Richard Thompson's "Shoot Out The Lights" and Television's "Marquee Moon". Here's another: Dave Edmund's reworking of Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance" when he was in the group Love Sculpture. |
