I enjoy finding and listening to the most epic music ever written. I’ve always loved music and I absolutely love how a composer can write music down on a piece of paper that invokes the utmost power, energy and adventure. I’ve narrowed it down to 2 songs that I believe are the 2 most epic songs ever written… “Lux Aeterna” from Requiem for a Dream and “Battle of the Heroes” from Star Wars III. PS: If you don’t have a good quality sound system then you will not get near the full effect of these songs, a good bass is vital. Awesomely epic songs none-the-less. Also, if you believe there to be a more epic song out there, feel free to post it in the comment box below.
I would like to also nominate Camille Seant-Seans Piano Concerto No.1 in g minor. Right around 4:36, this piece becomes pretty orgasmic.
^Just part 1 of 2
i’ve always liked “duel of the fates” from star wars…
but the matrix finale is the most epic of all… (most of juno reactor’s stuff is epic)
lots of classical music qualifies as “epic” too… here are some good examples off the top of my head…

I actually almost included Duel of the Fates as a 3rd Epic Song… it’s pretty impressive. So are all of these. I don’t know how I could forget Carmina Burana, it’s just SO. Freakin. Long!
