Epic songs

Right, just got home and shoved some coldplay on, got to fix you, ive listened to it non stop since around 6

absolutely loving it, any suggestions for similar stuff? not other coldplay as i think i know most of it. I dont know if epic is the right word but when you get to the second half of the song it goes from the slow melody to the crashing chords and drums.... bliss

so similar stuff... always open to new things so anything goes

i don't really know what you are after, but I could listen to Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd all day. such a perfect song

Ah it's in the right place now, I'll let you go.

One - Metallica.

Though its not as bland as Coldplay.

You might like some of the Kings of Leon stuff though.

Johnny Cash version of "Hurt". Absolutely awesome version.

It's a song that builds by the way.. raises the hair on the back of my neck!

Nothing like what you asked for, but it seems this is now the epic song thread.

Couple of others I like:

Perfect Day - Lou Reed
The Scientist - Coldplay
Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

I like the original NIN version better but Johnny Cash's is more emotional.

Not a classic, but I think it has the makings of epicness.

Excellent suggestions. I'd add Call of Cthulu to that list as well as The End by The Doors.
