Hi, I'm new here, and I've been searching for a list of prog epics. I have failed miserably, and so has the search function on this site (damn search always gives me an error!). So if any of you know a handy link to a list of prog epics, I would appreciate it greaty!
 
P.S. There is a list in a Facebook group, but its really incomplete.
 
P.P.S. prog epics are always good :)

Oh c'mon boys, and prog guy has those epics. Those are the mainstream ones! (as mainstream as prog could possibly get, lol).

I have the vast majority (I think, unless someone proves me wrong) of prog epics. I just want to scrape the bottom of the barrel, but not in a bad way, because prog is good *thumbs up!*

Oh sorry for double post, i figured there would be some way to edit.

I was really hoping for some master list of 20 min+ songs, i just assumed this site had one hidden somewhere :)

Ahaa!!! Now I understand. I think I have included some more obscure epics in my original list, you clearly want more obsure ones so I will compile a second list during the day. Stay put!

As promised, here is my second (arguably more obscure) list.
1.Anglagard - hostsejd
2. Sinkadus - Agren
3. Garden Wall - Chemotaxis
4.Citizen Cain - Somewhere but yesterday
5.Metaphor - Starfooted in a garden of cans
6.Triumvirat - Illusion on a double dimple
7.Cairo - Ruins at avalon's gate
8.Present - Promenade au fond d'un canal
9.Apogee - the garden of delights
10. Grayceon - ride
11.Syzygy - The Journey of Myrrdin
12.Maxwell's Demon - Prometheus (for fans of anglagard, oh yeah!)
13.Ezra Winston - Ancient afternoon of an Unknown Town
14.Nexus - Mirar Hacia el centro
15. Consorzio Aqua Potabile (CAP) - Il Regno
16.Trace - King Bird
17.Far Corner - Fiction
18. Wobbler - Hinterland
19.Mandalaband - Om Mani Padme Hum
20.Bo hansson - Born in the gentle south
21.Quaterna Requiem - Quasimodo
22. Schicke Fuhrs & Frohling (SFF) - Pictures
23. Univers Zero - Ronde
24. Fireballet - Night on bald mountain
25.Midas - Beyond the clean Air

What follows is the obscure epics from my first list that you wouldn't want to miss

26. Mugen - Sinfonia della luna
27. Deluge Grander - Inaugural Bash
28. Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Canto nomade per un prigionero politico
29. Kaipa - Skenet Bedrar
30. Carpe Diem - Couleurs
31.Latte e Miele - Papillion
32. Par Lindh Project - The Cathedral

There you go! Most of them fall under the symphonic prog idiom, mainly because it's the one I like the most (and have the most cds). Enjoy!


PS. You may also want to check some of the concept compilations that musea has released over the years wich include ONLY epics by a large number of symphonic (mostly) artists. Many of those epics are originals which DO NOT appear in the albums of the artists involved.
Some of these compilations are:
1.Odyssey (the greatest tale)
2.the 7 Samurai
3.The Colossus of Rhodes
4. The Spaghetti Epic

Maybe we should compile a master list...

Well apparently there is no "MASTER LIST" :D

Maybe I should spend some time creating one? The only problem with this, is that I have very little knowledge of modern prog, or anything heavier than Rush.

On DPRP there is a list. The link is:
 
 
It's not complete, but might give some answers.

Edit: Sorry to Kim Ankara, I didn't see you already posted this info...

Garden of Dreams - The Flower Kings (60 minutes)
Cassandra Gemini - The Mars Volta (30 minutes)
All of the Above - Transatlantic (30 minutes)
Jethro Tull - A Passion Play (40 minutes)
Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons (40 minutes)
Beethoven - Sonata in Fm (25 minutes)

some pretty hardcore epic songs for you. Being a proghead you should also like classical music as well it just seems to be the closest thing to prog from the 70s (not counting mahavishnu and santana of course)
