So I'm making a playlist of "epic" songs. Because.. they cheer me up. By epic I don't mean long. Not sure how to put it into real terms. Epic in a sort of.. mind blowingly amazing way? Catchy, but not so much that they get old. So far I have:
I Believe In A Thing Called Love - The Darkness
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Kashmir - Led Zepplin
Cherry Pie - Warrant
Love Stinks - J. Giles Band
No One Like You - Scorpions
Hold On Loosely - 38 Special
Paradise City - Guns 'N Roses
Back In Black - AC/DC
Layla - Eric Clapton
Any Way You Want It - Journey
Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi
My Girl - Aerosmith
She Loves You - The Beatles
Certainly some aren't the best songs ever, but I find they meet my definition of epic. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone could suggest more songs that have the same feel as these. They could be of any genre or era, but generally upbeat, and epic? *Sigh* Just help me! =P Thanks.
Err...
I think your definition of epic is:
Great guitar riff

Any suggestions?
Riot by Three Days Grace...
Riot by Three Days Grace... idk, I just like that song, it gets me pumped for games and stuff. Maybe "coming undone" by Korn. Not sure entirely what you mean by epic but I think those are both good songs, actually looking at the other songs you picked it looks like you're going for lovesongs a little.

When I think "epic music" I
When I think "epic music" I think "A Requiem for a Dream" because, I mean. That piece just SCREAMS epic. XD
And... I have weird taste in music... So I should probably leave it at that...
"Ben Bernake" by Lemon Demon is awfully strange, but it's also hilarious (if you ask me. People seem to think of it as creepy for whatever the reason.) and quite catchy. You should go watch it on youtube, the music video that is.
Okay, done for real this time.
Haha is there a song about
Haha is there a song about superheros by lemon demon? I can't remember what its called!
There probably is...
There probably is... Actually, there most likely is. They did that "ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny" song. (Which is also kind of epic. XD) Which might be what you meant... They probably have some other songs involving superheros too... I wouldn't be surprised.
upbeat?
"Walk of Life" by Dire Straits is pretty catchy. You can't not dance/sing/whatever to it.
I think of "39" by Queen as being pretty epic.
"Slide" by the Goo Goo Dolls might qualify as epic. Maybe "Revolution" by the Beatles.
I dunno. Most of what I think of as "epic" isn't as catchy as you seem to want.
Oh, and the numa numa song is pretty darn epic.
Catchy isn't really
Catchy isn't really important to me all the songs I happened to be listening to at the time were catchy. So thanks =] =]
