What are some of your favorite epic-length tracks in music? When I say "epic," I am generally referring to songs that are 10 minutes or longer in duration. Some can be upwards of 40 minutes or more It could be a classical piece, prog-rock, post-rock, or some genre of music that might not be commonly associated with epic-length tracks. Kraftwerk's 'Autobahn' is perhaps one of my favorite pieces of music ever, and that's among all music (epic and non). This track was released in 1974, and was a landmark piece of pioneering electronic music which displayed the emerging technology in the realm of synthesizers and electronic music at the time. The music sounds as mind-blowing today as I am sure it did 40 years ago. It's one of the few pieces of music that manages to gives me chills every time I listen to it. http://youtu.be/x-G28iyPtz0
^^ I have always loved that performance. The drummer, Michael Shieve, was off the hook. They were all loaded up on acid at the time that was shot.
