jsv08 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hey all, I just wanted to step in and inquire about everyone's favorite epic songs. I'm talking about songs like Stargazer and Don't Wake the Lion. I've been on a kick lately and I'd like to discover some new favorite songs! Are there any hidden gems out there? cheers, JS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaffas Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I love any epic by Edguy, Avantasia or Theocracy. A non HH epic i love is Dire Strait's "Telegraph Road". A simply awesome song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Little Pony KarpetRydOFunk Posted December 21, 2008 My Little Pony Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Could you describe what an 'epic' song is? I'm not sure if I completely understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heaven&hell Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 By epic I take you mean long songs. If so one of my favs is "Heading for Tomorrow" by Gamma Ray, which clocks in around 15 minutes. Also "Halloween" by Helloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heaven&hell Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 By epic I take you mean long songs. That was exactly what I was thinking. The longer the better....I guess. Well then I need to check my Dream Theater and Fates Warning collections and I'm sure I'll add some more tunes to my list. Here's another goodie: "Sign of the Southern Cross" - Ronnie James Sabbath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Neal Morse's Sola Scriptura is pretty much one epic after another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
