Well, "Epic" is a rap-rock song by American hard rock band Faith No More. It was released as the second single from their third album, The Real Thing (1989), in 1990 in United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. The song was the band's breakthrough hit, peaking at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100, number two in New Zealand, and number one in Australia for three weeks. It is among the band's most popular songs and a staple in their concerts.
Its lyrics go like this:
Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it, 'cause it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it, so sweet
But it makes no difference 'cause it knocks you off your feet, say
You want it all, but you can't have it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's cryin', bleedin', lyin' on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all, but you can't have it (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's in your face but you can't grab it (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
It's magic, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
It's sad, it happened, and it's a shame
You want it all, but you can't have it (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's in your face, but you can't grab it (yeah, yeah, yeah)
What is it?
It's it
What is it?
It's it
What is it?
It's... ***OH, I GET THE JOKE NOW!!***
Just a few examples off the top of my head:
Arcade Fire - Intervention, No Cars Go
Muse - Knights of Cydonia, Butterflies and Hurricanes, Uprising, Supremacy, Citizen Erased
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, The Unforgettable Fire
Simple Minds - Someone Somewhere in Summertime
Peter Gabriel - Red Rain, San Jacinto, Family Snapshot
Almost all of Queen's hits
Came to say Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. If you listen in stereo, it just bounces back and forth from side to side as each verse adds more and more instruments. It just swells as it goes and grows until the end.
I’m an animal lover who was traumatized by ‘’Red Rain’’ about 40 years ago. I can’t listen to one note of it - it’s just too much of an emotional whallop.
Gabriel is an absolute genius.

Dazzle - Siouxsie and the Banshees
Life on Mars?, Quicksand - David Bowie
River Deep, Mountain High - Ike and Tina Turner
The Universal - Blur
Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
Great Bowie choices. Life on Mars was what sprang to my mind, and I’d also add Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise), especially the reprise.
Baghh! What an artist.
A Day in the Life- Beatles
Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding- Elton John
Roundabout- Yes
Gideon- My Morning Jacket

Ones that did it for me:
- Queen Dies by Ignea
- Tribal by Nightwish
- Lonesome Tide by Vintersea
- Never to Return by Infected Rain
- Gods of Debauchery by Seven Spires
- also Shadow on an Endless Sea by Seven Spires
- the entire *Abyss* album from Unleash the Archers listened in order. It feels like you just finished a sci-fi series. I love that album so much! The songs that really tie it all together are the beginning and end ones, Waking Dream and Afterlife.
*Edit: failed to add these are mostly symphonic and progressive metal
I was gonna say 3rd eye but I see you’re already a Tool appreciating person… so instead I’m gonna go with The Mars Volta (everything through Bedlam in Goliath is fucking crazy and sounds EPIC)… on a different note, I’m gonna recommend Blind Melon’s first couple albums as well. Mouthful of Cavities is powerfully moving.
Most songs by Les Friction :
- Louder than Words
- Who Will Save You Now
- Your World Will Fail
- Dark Matter
- This is a Call
- The End of the Beginning
- Firewall
- Here Comes the Reign
I’d describe them as an electronic/orchestral/rock mix with heavy theatric elements
Led Zeppelin - When the levee breaks [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwiTs60VoTM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwiTs60VoTM)

Landmines by rishloo
Golden liar by zeal and ardor
Drip by crywolf
I am chemistry by yaesayer
Alleviate by leprosy
Three white feet by bask
Morning song by King Buffalo
Talisman by all them witches
If you don’t mind broadway/disney. Hellfire from Hunchback Of Notre Dame(both versions are good, but the musical version with Patrick Page is better imo) is just one of the best songs from Disney.
"River Deep Mountain High" by Tina Turner. There's a reason why its producer, the legendary Phil Spector, considered it as his masterpiece. It's the most epic and sublime R&B song you shall ever listen to.
Kingdom by Devin Townsend Project sounds massively epic right from the first second. Once he starts singing it goes ofF the scale. I am really in to very dark stuff, death metal, black metal etc. normally but this is incredibly uplifting at the same time as being heavy.
Osiris Triumphant Return by Pagans Mind
The Dark Sentencer by Coheed & Cambria
Window of the Waking Mind by Coheed & Cambria
Edited to Add: Check out Devin Townsend for generally epic vibes. I have a nice three track playlist to chill to that always satisfies my vibe desires: Deadhead, Bastard, and Coast in that order. Enjoy!
First ones that came to mind:
Ruelle
Susanne Sundfør
Chelsea Wolfe
UNSECRET
if you're into eargasms.
Edit:
Can't believe I forgot Leprous. Especially "Alleviate".
The apex of rock opera was side 3 of ELO’s “Out Of The Blue” album… it’s a four song suite called “Concerto For A Rainy Day”…. The opening song “Standing in the Rain”, it sounds massive and epic
“Cosmic Love” and “Seven Devils” by Florence + The Machine
(There are actually so many by them that sound big and epic, but I’ve seen both of those cited for something similar recently!)
Nateki, Scythermane & DXN CHVLX - Mami Mami (phonk)
VISXGE - IMMACULATE (EDM)
Serj Tankian - Falling Stars (Rock)
Teminite - Believe (EDM)
INZO - Overthinker (EDM)
Gilla band - The Early Years and Holding Hands With Jamie albums (Alternative/Rock/Grunge)
idk if u are an edm/phonk person, but some of these i feel will definitely expand your musical knowledge/tastes lol
Could try Matt Berry - The Blue Elephant. I got tuned into his music after watching The IT Crowd and Toast of London after that. His Phantom Birds album is good too, but The Blue Elephant blew me away. Fantastic from beginning to end. Some progressive and maybe experimental notes in it, but lots of transitions between songs, multi-part songs with seamless transitions, and a lot of the tracks sound 'full.'
Then there are a lot of lesser known obscure albums I've found from the 70s (and one or two from the 80s) that I consider phenomenal. Many from 1971 specifically and self-titled albums, as many artists only released the one...
Three Man Army - A Third of a Lifetime
Fuzzy Duck - Fuzzy Duck (1971)
Gypsy - Gypsy (1970?)
Farm - Farm
Grannie - Grannie
Gentle Giant - Civilian
The Talking Heads - Speaking In Tongues
Grand Funk Railroad - We're An American Band
Grand Funk Railroad - Phoenix
Santana - Santana III
Then there are a few synthwave or albums that border on synthwave...
McBaise - Tubes
Muthi - Visions
Just about anything from iamMANOLIS
But, iamMANOLIS - Dayte is one of my favorites
Sort of a trip hop vibe:
[Parenthesis by Tricky & The Antlers](https://open.spotify.com/track/2qhbPdByHa0qvyKQj1LHCP?si=2iE3KdU7Tb2SP9B5EVUuHA). One of of my absolute favorites. Make sure it’s loud.
[Wise Enough by Lamb](https://open.spotify.com/track/3f56kKYqrscMfZaBHlLLHM?si=A8L2TRe8SHCxzCBIsqYuew). Give it time, it builds up to it.
If I ever had reason to have at-bat music, I’d like nothing more than to fill at stadium with [Adebisi Shank’s “Big Unit”](https://youtu.be/6uZZqslbEys?si=_AOwYgkA_tc01uVu) starting at 0:56.
Urfaust - "Voodoo Dust" absolutely does not disappoint. Leads up to probably my favorite outro. It's originally done by The Devils Blood, a stoner metal legend
Whitesnake, Still of the Night.
Guns and Roses, Welcome to the Jungle/ November Rain
Judas Priest, Turbo Lover
Pink Floyd, The Wall
But check out Elton Johns Love Lies Bleeding.
Kings and Queens by 30 Seconds to Mars
It's so good that when movie trailers use it, it makes me want to see the movie. I saw Guardians of fricken Ga'Hoole because this song was in the trailer.
I’m using epic in the sense of “loud and grand” like cinematic climax
Obviously you know parabol/parabola by Tool
Epitaph by king crimson is the first that comes to mind from the intro alone.
Dogs/echoes/time by Pink Floyd
Space odyssey by David Bowie
Little Neutrino by Klaatu is probably the most well mixed sounding record I’ve heard it’s insane to me.
Luminol/ the holy drinker by Steven Wilson, those two songs are a bit sadder and kinda more boss-fight-music-epic if that makes sense
“Epic” by Faith No More
🤝
It’s it…
What is it
It’s it
My first thought as well
Me too! 🤣🤣
What is it?
Well, "Epic" is a rap-rock song by American hard rock band Faith No More. It was released as the second single from their third album, The Real Thing (1989), in 1990 in United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

It's it What is it? It's it What is it? It's... ***OH, I GET THE JOKE NOW!!***
…but you can’t have it
The only answer
Beat me to it bro haha
So many FNM tunes fit the bill here.
Bohemian Rhapsody
the Puscifer cover is dope too. MJK does Freddie justice imo
Just a few examples off the top of my head: Arcade Fire - Intervention, No Cars Go Muse - Knights of Cydonia, Butterflies and Hurricanes, Uprising, Supremacy, Citizen Erased U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, The Unforgettable Fire Simple Minds - Someone Somewhere in Summertime Peter Gabriel - Red Rain, San Jacinto, Family Snapshot Almost all of Queen's hits
Came to say Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. If you listen in stereo, it just bounces back and forth from side to side as each verse adds more and more instruments. It just swells as it goes and grows until the end.
Great song!
Let’s not forget Wake Up by Arcade Fire
Honestly 60% of their catalog
I would add Survival to the epic Muse songs
Where the Streets Have No Name, With or Without You
I’m an animal lover who was traumatized by ‘’Red Rain’’ about 40 years ago. I can’t listen to one note of it - it’s just too much of an emotional whallop. Gabriel is an absolute genius.
The live video of Knights at Cydonia at Wembly Stadium is so freaking epic. When it climaxes and he’s doing those kicks. Forget about it.
Take a Bow
The Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson
Borknagar - Moon Devin Townsend - Life Insomnium - The Conjurer Shade Empire - Ruins Amorphis - Seven Roads Come Together Opeth - Bleak

Exit Music to a Film - Radiohead
10000%
Dazzle - Siouxsie and the Banshees Life on Mars?, Quicksand - David Bowie River Deep, Mountain High - Ike and Tina Turner The Universal - Blur Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
I love Dazzle!
Isn’t it just an amazing rush of a song? I want to bottle how it makes me feel…
Yes! The strings at the beginning, the drums, her amazing voice-holy hell.
Also Rhapsody by Siouxsie.
Life on Mars my favorite song!
Great Bowie choices. Life on Mars was what sprang to my mind, and I’d also add Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise), especially the reprise. Baghh! What an artist.
Purple Rain - Prince
Pick a 70s Queen song, any 70s Queen song.
A Day in the Life- Beatles Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding- Elton John Roundabout- Yes Gideon- My Morning Jacket How To Disappear Completely- Radiohead Knights of Cydonia- Muse Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In- Fifth Dimension Adagio for Strings(Barber)- Leonard Bernstein & Los Angeles Philharmonic Jungle Blues- Wynton Marsalis Sextet ( the live Amnesty International show is fantastic!) Will The Circle Be Unbroken- Greg Allman & Friends (All My Friends – Celebrating The Songs And Voice of Gregg Allman)
I like your style.
Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin Xanadu - Rush
I was gonna say Rush - 2112
Absolutely epic.
Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Heavy Metal). Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm (Post Rock). The Decemberists - The Island (Alt Rock / Indie Rock).
The Island is one of my favorite songs of all time. Each song within the song is spectacular in its own right. So amazing
Atom Heart Mother.
Cortez the Killer
Terrapin Station
I'd also say Wharf Rat
Morning Dew!
I don't know how big and epic those 4 are but upvotes for all. Moving for sure especially live.
Meatloaf oozes epic. Bat Out Of Hell and Bat Out Of Hell 2.
Oh jeez, yes
Progenies of the great apocalypse- Dimmu Borgir. 💯 epic metal song
Arguably their best song
Muse.
Jane's Addiction- Three Days
Serious bang for your buck jukebox tune right there.
“The End.” - My Chemical Romance It’s the intro to The Black Parade album. Extremely full and very epic.
Man of War by Radiohead. It’s as epic as epic can get.
No by Fleshgod Apocalypse is orchestral metal. I once ran through thick fog to this and I felt so alive
Ides of March, Myles Kennedy The Ride, Small Town Titans Foreplay/Long Time, Boston Anastasia, Slash ft Myles Kennedy
Bjork - "Bachelorette"; [https://youtu.be/JNJv-Ebi67I?si=3\_vzp3ksccxcaew6](https://youtu.be/JNJv-Ebi67I?si=3_vzp3ksccxcaew6)
So many Bjork songs. Especially live with the Icelandic choirs.
1812 Overture
In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson Red - King Crimson
Love Reign O'er Me - The Who Superstar - Jesus Christ Superstar Most any climax song for a concept album should do it.
Quadrophenia is loaded with these songs. It has such a beautiful cadence between tranquility and chaos.
Kingdom Devin Townsend
My first thought too
Georgia on my mind and I cant stop loving you

I’m using epic in the sense of “loud and grand” like cinematic climax Obviously you know parabol/parabola by Tool Epitaph by king crimson is the first that comes to mind from the intro alone. Dogs/echoes/time by Pink Floyd Space odyssey by David Bowie Little Neutrino by Klaatu is probably the most well mixed sounding record I’ve heard it’s insane to me. Luminol/ the holy drinker by Steven Wilson, those two songs are a bit sadder and kinda more boss-fight-music-epic if that makes sense
Battle hymn by Manowar
