Epic Sounding Songs?

[Rubber]

like the Requiem for a Dream song or the Sin City theme. anyone know others that you had to hop online and download right after you heard them?

 

[bri babe]

for movies, no.
for epics the musical term for long songs that tell a story:
pink floyd - echoes
pink floyd - the wall (whole album)
yes - tales from topographic oceans (whole album)
yes - close to the edge (the song)

One classic epic that a lot of people today aren't familiar with:

"Happiness is a Warm Gun" - The Beatles

It's badass... doesn't sound like your typical Beatles song, but it supposedly inspired Bohemian Rhapsody, Stairway, etc.

Modest Mouse - The stars are projectors

bird song - tomahawk
