I don't even think an epic song has to be exceptionally long, but it has to tell a story or have some sort of time element. I don't consider HL to be "epic". good song - yes good musicianship - yes long enough - yes epic - no

Thanks for playing GerntheFish, your Consolation prize is at the door.

I myself am starting to favor the death penalty for people who use that word in reference to anything other than the works of Homer, Virgil, and the Venerable Bede. I think a much more prudent use of that penalty belongs to complainers of 'shoehorned lyrics' (Rush has been doing that off and on since 1975.. aren't you use to it yet?), lack of 'melody' (trying too hard to sound refined and intellegent) and waveform posters (arrrrgh, let's all get mad at this solid wall.. grrr!).

You can't get around it! Sometimes it fits sometimes it doesn't. Kinda like.....!
