What more could you want in an Epic Song? <img>

King me Baby: of course Dinosaur Jr. – Alone!

also:
Red House Painters – Between days (very epic – love it)
Sonic Youth – Karen Revisited (wonderful song, was great live, too, with minutes of pure noise in the end)
Built to Spill – Broken chairs (could go on and on forever)

[Bucky Ramone]

Built to Spill – Cortez the killer (22 minutes….)
Neu – E-Musik
Calexico – Fade

….and of course (already mentioned): ‘Marquee Moon’

Wipers- Youth of America
Red House Painters-Silly Love Songs
Nick Cave-Oh My Lord
Jimi Hendrix-1983 A Merman…
The Doors-The End
Led Zepplin-Kashmir
Grandaddy-He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot
Mike Johnson-Eclipse
Modest Mouse-Night on the Sun, The Stars are Projectors
Mermen-The Whales are Coming…
Watt/j/Funkadelic-Maggot Brain
Pink Floyd-Interstallar Overdrive
Iron Butterfly-In A Gadda Da Vida

The Plan and Alone are probably my two favorite Epic songs.

Ooo! Iron Butterfly!

Also, I didn’t time these, but I’m pretty sure they make the cut:

Guns n’ Roses- ‘November Rain’
Doors- ‘When The Music’s Over’
Pearl Jam- ‘WMA’
Smoke City- ‘Underwater Love’
Led Zeppelin- ‘Moby Dick’. Let’s hear it for 5-minute drum solos. Or not.
