    GNR's Coma and Estranged from the Use Your Illusion albums are great, great songs.

    Neil Young has plenty of great lengthy, somewhat 'epic' songs... my favorites that come to mind are Down by the River (one of my all time favs) and Natural Beauty.

    Any Isis song that goes over 9 minutes is usually pretty awesome.

    Zeppelin's In My Time of Dying is pretty epic too. Those are all I can think of right now.

    Oh, and of course... Reach Down. One of Mr. McCready's finest moments.

    Minstrel Boy - Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros!
    Cowgirl in the Sand - Neil Young (as well as Down By the River, as already said)
    Sins of my Father - Tom Waits

    Oh - and rip on me all you want: Dry County by Bon Jovi is a kick ass song.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Nothing to be ashamed of. Bon Jovi has about three really good songs, and that's one of them.

    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.
