An epic is an epic regardless of how long it takes to listen to it. You
can't say tough luck, this song would have been a great epic, but
unfortunately it clocks at 8.59, not making the cut...
But do you know any long songs that are definately NOT considered epics? 20 minutes anyone?

It's conceptual not cuantitative. If the artist says or you sens it as epic, that is to transcend an only and unique idea, then it's an epic, no matter the lenght.

THATS A QUITE ´´INVALID´´ QUESTION.
I BELIVE THAT IS THE MUSIC THAT DEFINES THE EPIC NOT THE LENGTH.
THERE ARE SONG WHICH IN 20 MINUTES CANT SAY ANYTHING AND OTHERS THAT IN 5 MINUTES FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS AND CLEVER STRUCTURES DEFINE PROG MUSIC.

11/12. Lady Fantasy by Camel being a prime example at 12:45. 10 minutes for a suite (One For The Vine, Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression 1&2.).
