And since I can't stand to leave Lindsey Buckingham out of any conversation that he can be in anyway related to, let me add:

D.W. Suite from Law and Order

Frozen Love from Buckingham Nicks

I'm So Afraid from The Dance

I love the 11 minutes and 3 seconds version of "Time Has Come Today" by The Chamber Brothers. It is just so cool and trippy! Great, 60s, psychedelic song. The shorten version just isn't even close to the original in greatness.

How could I have forgotten Frozen Love???

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...

I can't believe I forgot about this song. Good choice! One of my favorite songs of all times.

We have all forgotten American Pie.

Actually, a few people have mentioned it already.

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 agree with you there. Especially about Floyd and Zeppelin.

Christa! You're familiar with "Nowhere Fast," "Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young" and "Original Sin"?!?

That's awesome!

Yes, how could we all forget Bohemian Rhapsody.

I LOVE this song. I've watched it on the Led Zeppelin DVD so many times, it's ridiculous. Easily my favorite (long) Zeppelin song. No Quarter is a very close contender, however.

Lux, it appears you and I share a love for Pink Floyd. Shine On YCD is definitely one of my favorite Floyd tunes. I could listen to it over and over. I like how they put both parts together on Echoes so that we have a version now where it's all one long piece. I even like it on Roger's live CD from 2000. (Awesome concert by the way, so happy I was able to see him.) Other epic (or maybe just crazy long) Pink Floyd songs I love...A Saucerful of Secrets (the end with the wailing always gets me, especially the live version on Ummagumma), Dogs (although I used to run on the treadmill to this song, so I had to hold off for a while because I was starting to hate it!), and the whole Atom Heart Mother Suite (I LOVE the part where it says "silence in the studio" and then flares up again...greatness!).

Going to listen to some of these now. Thanks for reminding me.

I like Meddle for One of these Days and Echoes, but I guess that's about it. Never really got into Fearless. But, I'll give it another try in a sec since you mentioned it! In my current state, maybe it'll appeal to me more!

Love the guitar in the beginning...

"Jessica"--the Allman Brothers. It's a straight instrumental and I don't care how bad a mood I'm in or how depressed, that song will instantly make me feel better.
