wasted Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 It's either Black n Blue or Undercover as my favorite Stones album. Maybe Bridges in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Memory Motel could turn any album into a masterpiece.The Stones haven't really done epics, have they? They've touched on many genres and sub-genres but large, epic songs, not really. It's just Memory Motel and You Can't Always Get What You Want, I guess. (Coincidentally, my two favorite Stones songs) Kinda contrasts with their live shows. I guess She Was Hot, Let It Loose and Saint Of Me have some characteristics of that but aren't really there. (And don't mention Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Goin' Home - those are just long.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also Worried About You from Tattoo You.2000 Lightyears from Home could be considered a psychedelic epic.Midnight Rambler could be considered an epic rocker....

The other, no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other, no way.Well, what do you mean by 'epic' exactly then?My version of 'epic' is, well, deep sort of lyrics, beautiful melody, emotional solo, well worked sort of sound. Something grand.For example, Ten Years Gone by Led Zeppelin is a prime example of an epic (for me).November Rain by Guns could be another.

GivenToFly Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 More changes in tempo and melody than usual, build up to a climax, length helps. And a large sound, 'grand' as you call it. But that doesn't mean that any song with a bit of drama to it, otherwise all power ballads would be called epics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
