Awesome Music

[gman391]

So I was messing around with my play lists and listening to Lux Aeterna and though to myself....I don't know or have nearly as much epic music as I thought I did. So I thought I'd ask you guys about what you think is the most epic music.

So far my list has Beethoven's Ninth, Seventh and Fifth. The aforementioned Lux Aeterna, O Fortuna, Anything by Howard Shore and John Williams. Still seems a little light though. Your thoughts?

Winterborn by The cruxshadows is a truly epic piece of music in my opinion. Some good pure musical stuff is the majority of the soundtrack from both Transformer's movies, as well as the piece titled "Driving with the Top Down", from the Iron Man soundtrack. Hero (Red Pill Mix) is a good song as well (I tend to use it when I'm trying to write montage-type scenes. Most of my music infact, is used as writing inspiration). Across the Nation, by Union Underground, and To Be Loved by Papa Roach are some other personal favorites, though I tend to use them more for curb-stomp battle type scenes. Another one that I like is "Une Monde Sans Danger (A world without Danger) which is the musical version of the Code Lyoko theme. Awesome music, especially without the semi-stupid lyrics that they put into it.

If you don't mind the fact that Gregorian chants have been overused by Hollywood recently, they can quite epic in my opinion. Unfortunately, besides Era's music (which I'm not really sure if could be considered Gregorian chants in the proper sense) I can't make many suggestions.

There's always Final Fantasy music.

For instance:
FFXI - Alexander Fight
FFXI - Shadowlord
FFXI - ToAU Boss Music
FFVIII - Liberi Fatali
FFVIII - Only a Plank Between One and Perdition

Well that entirely depends on a persons definition of Epic.

The Sword of the Stranger soundtrack is pretty epic, here's an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=195rdilxCmY

If your looking for music to go with battle related about twenty percent of the Manowar discography is suitably epic.

Devil May Cry and it's sequels have some quality peices in their soundtracks. First Virgil Battle

I would also point out that Naruto itself has some epic tracks, if you enjoy that sort of music. Beni Soubi Reverse situation Rising Dragon

I also enjoy some of the Sabatons songs. For example The Price of a Mile

I'll probably add more later.

Looking through some of my music files, I found that the music from the X tv series and Rurouni Kenshin anime were incredibly epic:

X-tv -Sadame

Rurouni Kenshin - Isshin Tenpuku Keekaku

Rurouni Kenshin - The Last Wolf Suite - Shishio Makoto no Kumikyoku
