Epic Popular Songs


The Epic Poem stands as the highest literary expression.

To compare lowly rock and pop songs beggars a response.

But so be it. Your nominees have to be at least 6 minutes in length, have a notable instrumental solo, and have lyrics parsing a freshmen college standard. No lists of tress, or multiple battles or dedications to Queens most Glorious.

"Marquee Moon" is one of my favorite "Wave" albums.

I purchased it after seeing them here in 1978, and later on the Red album.
