    For me an epic is more about the feel of the track(specifically the changes it goes through and arrangements)more than song length. They might be more or less the same length but Cinema Show feels more like an epic to me.

    Personally I'd rather read through posts that weren't at all time solely concerned with the object of self-confirmation. Now if you imposed a ban on musical threads about the "big six" for two weeks, I can just as *personally* guarantee you that you'd have a bunch of people discussing Steve Howe's toenails and Peter Gabriel's secret thing with miniskirts rather than approach something new to themselves within actual music. Or perhaps just resort to discussing all the artists whose valeur rests on sounding like those usual suspects of course.

    No, for Vanity Fair.

    In the mid-30s, that is.

    Here's an odd choice, but one of my favorite 'epics'; Harry Chapin - Sniper.
