your favorite epic songs/pieces?

by "epic" i mean, considerably long, deep meaningful lyrics, powerful guitar, etc, etc...

for one, Bohemian Rhapsody is the most epic song ever! Some say its over-rated/played, but, w.e to each his/her own.

a lot of people dislike green day on here, pop-punk in general, but i like them. their song "Jesus of Suberbia" is 9 min of rocking out!

recently I've discovered Muse, and Knights of Cydonia is probably the best song I've heard to date, MUSE RULE!!

Crimson and Crimson II by Edge of Sanity
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (both parts) and Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd

Oh and this.

Bathory, any song from Hammerheart and Nordland

Doesn't have any lyrics, but Camille Saint-Saens' "Dance Macabre" is absolutely beautiful. It's probably my favorite piece of classical music.

Ted Nugent - Stranglehold. 8)

sorry, but nothing is as epic as this. im pretty sure that if i played it loud enough, fire would rain from the sky.

Rachmaninoff's 3rd concerto. I'm playing it now. Actually, no, let me rephrase that. I'm playing the bits that I can actually play now. >_>

Movie soundtracks are usually the best. Namely Braveheart, Crimson Tide, Last of the Mohicans and The Patriot, to pick a few.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a good song but I think "The Prophet's Song" and "March of the Black Queen" are better.

If by epic you mean pieces that make your hair stand up, then these are definitely epic. (Note: turn on your subwoofer and crank the volume up, it won't disappoint).
