or, the thread about epic ballads concluded by solos that are as epic. just in case you are stuck with bullshit music and wondering if there was ever some better stuff around, i am going to enlighten you and bring you my top5 songs in said category.

first reason for this thread is my goal to make the world a better place, i am fucking serious about that.

second, and more imporantly, if someone knows similar songs (mainly of that era late 60s-beginning 80s), bring em on, love that shit.

and just for the record, i hate no music, i have no problem with anybody listening to anything. as long as its educated and not just following blindly something, you can listen to whatever you want, but if you wanna have a good hour, listen to these five tracks.

god-tier

possibly the best song ever, in general. only song i could listen to the whole day. 2 times in a row is minimum for me.

semi-god tier

also amazing, although the lyrics are so mystical and weird sometimes (jimmy page even admitted that he has no clue what they are about) so its not that easy to feel it.

is an incredibly deep song. so nice when it starts over again.

doesnt fit the list, when you look at the other bands, g 'n' r are in another "category", but the song is perfect for this.

since alvin lee is fucking underrated (along with tYA in general), here is it.

btw, noticed how these guys play live? thats right, once upon a time, a band was standing on this big empty thing at concerts (the TYA one is not live, but the only live version on youtube sounds like i recorded it with my cellphone).

quality thread
 
no hate, but you think Freebird is the best song ever made?? I find it weird that you put it above Stairway to Heaven
 
idk, i discovered it years ago. and i know that summer, i always put my cd-player (yes, guys, a fuckin cd-player, see how old i am) on max and rocked that song. starts off slow and sad but its so great when the solo kicks in.

and the lyrics are good for a lot of phases in your life imo. i found the end of a love and the death of a beloved person being among the toughest things to go through, and this track just fit like a glove. even right now, i am happy as shit, new gf, nice summer job, downhill/xc-season kicking in and half of the exams went perfect (other half still to come, but whatever), i just love that thing.
 
i might get shit for coldplay, but i fucking love the song Fix You. It starts slow and progresses to get pretty fast
 
i know, i feel the same. stairway is great, but its not going to your head immediately. ah fuck it, i go for another round, see you in approx 9 minutes.

not "slow-to-fast" but the dynamics change a little bit into the song, which I think is what you meant.

I hate stairway to heaven. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge led zeppelin fan and I've studied john bonham's drumming but I just think it is so over rated

Here are my favourite zep songs

Not really what this thread is aiming for, but I feel as though achilles last stand is pretty epic

2112 is another one of my favourites. Part 1

 
if you're into music that's a little heavier, Hearts Alive by Mastodon is definitely a good song

and if you're into trippy and long songs, The Reptilian Brain by Intronaut is one of my faves

but i have to admit that its hard to top classic rock for good slow-to-fast songs, Led Zep is definitely one of my top bands.
 
I don't listen to much classic rock, but these fit the bill pretty well i'd say!
Pretty much anything by these guys. Musical genius:
