Songs with an "epic" feel to them

I'm looking for songs that have an epic sound, like some crazy final battle is about to begin or maybe some superpowered beings are gonna start tearing into each other. Any genre is fine.

Here's some I was thinking of

Gun totin' Nugent's "Stranglehold" has a great driving bass line which builds anticipation for the guitar solos. It all feels like something's definitely going down.

Another good one is "Green Grass and High Tides" by the Outlaws.

Other notables are:

• "Starship Troopers" by Yes
• "Meddle" by Pink Floyd
• "When the Levee Brakes" by Led Zeppelin

Of course, there are the classics, too:

• O Fortuna - Carmina Burana
• Ode to Joy
• Mars - The Planets
• etc...

Lots of build-up to this one. More of a underdog versus tyrant/last stand type of feel to it.

Dark and personal fight between rivals, as the title suggests.

Final triumphant charge into battle

Just as the title suggests: untouchable.

Approaching battalion of enemy/vastly superior troops. The badasses are coming.

Ye picks out of movies.

Katy Perry - Roar.

And ye picks out of other kinds of music:

@space_coyote: Search Audiomachine in YouTube. Literally all their songs have an epic feel to them. They're so good that movies such as Avatar have used their scores

Nearly eight minutes of epic, heavy metal goodness.

@unbreakable_fs4: Cool, thanks I will.

And thanks everybody for the suggestions.

@space_coyote: You're welcome.

I don't know if it's the well done Rocky sample for the beat, or the fact that this was the last stuff B.I.G. ever recorded and he murdered it, but Victory has always had an epic finale like feel for me.

@space_coyote: Go to YouTube and just type in "epic music." You'll thank me later. Lol

Gamma ray - leaving hell

Falconer - Clarion call

Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden.It is along song,but definitely worth listening to.

Anything off Cradle Of Flith's "Midian."

... I listen to a lot of music like this. Old thread, but I'll share for anybody interested in this kind of stuff. In general, I'd recommend looking up the bands / composers / sources and listening to other things by them. Some of them start slow and build, others begin on an epic note. I love all of these.

(some of these are from OSTs... so I recommend not reading the comments if you want to avoid spoilers)

• Globus - Preliator
• Two Steps from Hell - Heart of Courage
• Epica - Illusive Consensus
• Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Carol of the Bells (an epic Christmas song)
• Battlestar Galactica OST - Kara Remembers
• Bloodborne OST - The First Hunter
• Pirates of the Caribbean OST - Davy Jones
• Torchwood OST - Owen Fights Death
• Johann Sebastian Bach - Little Fugue in G Minor (the guy who uploaded this makes great videos that highlight the details and complexities of the songs with visuals)

If you want more, I have more.

@jedixman: definitely, I've been looking for new music to keep my going when I run.
