Music Challenge - Talys - 03-31-2009
Ok, so my friend decided to make a comment while a good portion of my floor was listening to a cheesy 80s play list and playing Soul Caliber 4. After the song "The Final Countdown" by Europe played he challenged us to find a more epic rock song (classical is out) than it. I personally had more trouble than expected but refuse to believe it to be true...any help?

Queen. We will rock you. /end thread.
Music Challenge - Kami - 03-31-2009
Stairway to Heaven
Rock 'n' Roll
Who's Next?
Baba O'Riley
Detroit Rock City
Bohemian Rhapsody
...The Final Countdown is far from the most epic song ever.

Eye of the Tiger
For Whom the Bell Tolls

Final Countdown is probably the most epic song ever, if you actually like it, which I don't.
Music Challenge - Jack - 03-31-2009
White Rabbit is another one. I think. Kinda don't know what you mean by epic.
Don't Stop Believin'
Styx - Mr. Roboto
Flock of Seagulls - I Ran
EDIT: Even still, Kami is right, Final Countdown is not the most epic song ever. No band named after a continent could ever be credited with that.

Srsly, if it's gonna be videogames.
It has to be Rush - Tom Sawyer.

Seems about right. Rush has the biggest rock sound ever.

Final Countdown is pretty good, but most epic ever? Please.
Queen's Don't Stop Me Now, Metallica's Master of Puppets, Damage Inc., Skynyrd's Free Bird, Dragonforce's Fury of the Storm, Iron Maiden's Wasted Years, TRUSTcompany's Take It All. These are the first ones that jumped out at me as being more epic than final countdown.

Not sure who you are musically so I just broadened my search. There's a little bit of everything that I consider 'epic' though my definition may vary. Basically, anything you can set a dramatic end sequence or monumental battle is my idea of 'epic'.
Music Challenge - Jesper - 04-01-2009
Vocals aside, "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria is pretty epic.

I think epic means a really big sound, an ambiguous anthem, etc.
White Room is not epic. Black Dog? negro plz

Dragonforce is epic?
...Really? I think it's more... 'fun' than anything. But they're not that good. I mean, yeah, Herman Li's a great guitarist but who cares, since all of their songs sound the same anyway.
Music Challenge - Jesper - 04-01-2009
By the way, that reminds me...
You know who sucks? Led Zeppelin.

Oh, yes. They totally do. Hey Jack.
Music Challenge - Jack - 04-01-2009
One of these days I will destroy you both.
But *CURVEBALL* I don't think Zeppelin songs qualify as epic. A few maybe (Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand, In The Light kinda).
Music Challenge - Jesper - 04-01-2009
Kashmir definitely would have epic qualities.
...if it didn't suck balls. Robert Plant ruins everything.

Just imagine a bunch of explosions while the music is playing. Like, to the extreme. Buildings, dogs, cats, babies, anything. Michael Bay movies work too.
