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.

No drinking or any kind of mind altering substance. My take on what defines an epic song is one that starts slow and is long and has an over the top section somewhere towards the end. Steve Miller Band and the Romones.

Frank Zappa. But then he wasn't a songwriter. Or a singer. Or much of anything, except full of himself. So smug!

How long does a song need to be ? Goin Home by The Stones was over 11 minutes and Sympathy for The Devil over 6 minutes.

It would vary for the individual but 7 mins would be good. There are great groups that wrote great 3 min songs. I'm discussing what artists wrote with the complexity with layering and progression of song structures that are cohesive. Of course have an epic section like Deep Purple's " Child in Time"
