Major artists that don't have an epic song

A lot of Pop groups (as opposed to Rock bands), like The Rubinoos, The Ramones, ABBA, and The Flamin' Groovies. Also true American-style Rock 'n' Roll bands (as opposed to Rock bands) like Rockpile, Los Lobos, NRBQ, and The Dwight Twilley Band.

Nothing, I mean nothing starts slow and builds like Otis Redding's Try a Little Tenderness.

Santana blew all others off stage at Woodstock, August 1969 : )

There are two new interesting vinyl releases from that fantastic performance.
One https://www.discogs.com/Santana-The-Woodstock-Experience/master/1026458 has many great reviews, how about the other   https://www.discogs.com/Santana-Woodstock-Saturday-August-16-1969/release/10170029  ?

Santana´s Europa, 1976 is an epic tune from the maestro himself.

Guess I'm having trouble understanding what is meant by the "epic" nature of the song. Do you mean like Close To The Edge or Thick As A Brick or even, It Never Rains?

It would vary for the individual but 7 mins would be good. There are great groups that wrote great 3 min songs. I'm discussing what artists wrote with the complexity with layering and progression of song structures that are cohesive. Of course have an epic section like Deep Purple's " Child in Time"

How long does a song need to be ? Goin Home by The Stones was over 11 minutes and Sympathy for The Devil over 6 minutes. 

Frank Zappa. But then he wasn't a songwriter. Or a singer. Or much of anything, except full of himself. So smug!

No drinking or any kind of mind altering substance. My take on what defines an epic song is one that starts slow and is long and has an over the top section somewhere towards the end. Steve Miller Band and the Romones.

Your post doesn't make sense  Are you drunk?!

The one they did at Woodstock is pretty iconic.

Santana.!
