    Ok, so far we have:

    Globus - Preliator
    1812 Overture
    Battlefield 1942 music
    Baldur Gate II Main Theme
    Vagelis - Light and Shadow
    Ennio Morricone music
    Matrix- Neodammerung
    When Johnny Comes Marching Home (Roman march, perhaps?)
    Deus Ex Orchestral Theme
    Ride of the Valkyries
    The Last Samurai - Red Warrior
    O Verona
    Conan OST - Riddle of Steel
    300 - Returns a King
    Star Wars - Throne Room
    Star Wars - Victory Celebration
    Star Wars - Imperial March Rage Mix
    Star Wars - Battle of the Heroes
    Star Wars- Duel of the Fates
    LOTR Soundtrack
    Escape - Craig Armstrong
    Sins of A solar Empire Main Theme
    Gettysburg soundtrack
    Gladiator soundtrack, specifically "The Battle"
    Lux Aeterna/Requiem for a Dream remix/Requiem for A Tower Remix
    Music from this video
    Music from this video
    Music from this video
    Megalith - Agnus Dei
    Some vanilla RTW songs(check the sound folder, or music folder, or whatever it is)
    Some vanilla MT2W songs
    RA2 - Hell March 2
    Relentless Power/Feats of Endurance
    Turisias - Battle Metal
    Rhapdosy - Emerald Sword
    Rhaspody - Dawn of Victory
    Man'o'War - Warriors of the World
    Carmina Burana- O Fortuna
    ES Posthumus - Pompeii
    Popcorn
    Halo 1-3 Soundtracks
    Red Army Choir - The Sacred War
    Transformers - Autobots Descend
    Jerry Goldsmith - Klingon Battle

    Is it me, or does most "epic" music have a heavy vocal aspect?

    Thumbs up Re: Epic Music

    Lol, good one, Nobo. Although not making good battle songs, the music from the credits of RTW and M2TW are pretty cool.

    progressive rock counts as epic for me.

    take for example Dream Theater's Score: 20th anniv. concert album version of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

    41 minutes and 34 seconds of classical music and prog rock eargasm. XD

    These are the 3 most epic video game songs IMO

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niV2PUkfj-8 It still rocks after like 8 years

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qou7Le5zUbo. WHY IS THIS NOT IN EB?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANT303erhV8 THE most epic videogame song I've ever heard

    and if the Romans still existed today, I could see them using that "legion strong" video as a recruitment commercial. Hell, I could even see the modern Italian Government using it.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9DdyBHxGXQ -Engel Rammstein, would fit an EB movie perfectly.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH3fLzxRX40 Ho-snapz epic WoW music.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3gIhsOFamM-The Chosen ones-Dream Evil.

    Oh all of the Fallout(and 2) soundtracks are epic, not because of their fast lyrics, or technology.
    I call them epic because they fit the post-Nuclear annihilation feeling well.

    Oh and Red Alert's music was awesome as well.

    How about this?

    And this - perfect for battles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDVxxQRSc_k

    And I'm not sure about Engel and Dragonheads, that cowboy movie song, or that WoW song. Opinions, plz?

    Red Alert 2 music is probably more cheesy than epic, although that 1 track is pretty good. Hell March 2, was it?

    Any links to that 40-minute Dream Theater piece?

    Added a few things.

    Do you have any specific tracks in mind, Reno?

    And it isn't that I don't like metal, RaGe, it's just that I didn't really see the songs as "epic".
    How about we define "epic" as something you would use in an EB video?

    "Epic" IS Ennio Morricone. That, and fantastically beautiful.

    Not Morricone, mind you, the music.
