Definitely.

I'd add "November Rain;" "The Devil Went Down to Georgia;" and, of course, "American Pie."

November Rain! I totally forgot about that one! I have to remember this stuff when I go to download songs. It seems like I get to a computer with DSL and forget everything!

Devil went down, really? I guess so, it tells a story and all. Definitely on American Pie. that's like a super epic.

Ah, yes, Bonnie/Jim is usually epic. I, personally, think Faster Than the Speed of Night is much more epic than Total Eclipse, but...uh...you have so much bonnie that i don't have. I think i'll PM you right now.

Oops! I forgot "Faster Than The Speed Of Night"!

And I definitely think "Total Eclipse" is epic... seven minutes long, a delicate piano & vocal intro, verses that build up steam as they go, an instrumental interlude that takes the song into its crescendo, and then finally a quiet, reflective ending that brings everything full circle.

yes, you are right about Total, but i did not realize it was so long. I guess time flies when you're having fun and belting your ass off. And you are right about it's musical qualities.
How could you forget Faster? God, I love that song sooo much. The fast piano, the big drums, the screaming vocal, the quiet parts, which in the end lead up to that high, high yowling with a fountain of aggressive drums behind it, and that piano, always fast, always underscoring...uh...oops, sorry, I dorked out about one of my favorite songs...hehehe...*insert sheepishness*
But Total Eclipse is one of me and my friend's songs - we never know the same songs, she is AFA and knows way other songs than i know. But on this one, we duet beautifully. And she usually makes up an awesome 80's dramatic dance to go with it *sigh* Good Times...

Definitely Jim Steinman songs from Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell and it's follow up many years later. Bonnie Tyler's Faster Than the Speed Of Night, the title track and the big hit Total Eclipse of the Heart, Streets of Fire soundtrack with Nowhere Fast and Tonight is what it means to be young, Talyor Dayne's Original Sin from the Shadow soundtrack.
I would also say that Queen has some epic songs as does Floyd and Zep. I love songs that are so broad and massive in sounds and story book lyrics.

I don't know if these fit "epic" standards, but whatever...

"Jesus of Suburbia" by Green Day (both are 9 minutes +)
"Go or Go Ahead" by Rufus Wainwright
"Paranoid Android" by Radiohead.

Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues

Breath deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless images spent

Empassioned lovers, wrestlers one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion...
