Epic Popular Songs


The Epic Poem stands as the highest literary expression.

To compare lowly rock and pop songs beggars a response.

But so be it. Your nominees have to be at least 6 minutes in length, have a notable instrumental solo, and have lyrics parsing a freshmen college standard. No lists of tress, or multiple battles or dedications to Queens most Glorious.

Not sure why you put the 6 min limitation of songs, unless it's to exclude almost all but every Bob Dylan song.  Having said that, IMHO there is one Pop/Rock song that stands above all other, even 50+ years on.  Sympathy For The Devil.  Even though the guitar solo is almost all one note, the energy and violence (?) is palpable.
