Over 20-minutes? That's hard.

But, i'd say:

Dream Theater - Octavarium & 6DOIT
Opeth - Black Rose Immortal
Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways (full version)

What does being over 20 minutes have to do with epic? I could post a bunch of 70's jam songs, none of which are epic.

I'm glad someone agrees with me!

Quote
ep·ic
n.
1. An extended narrative poem in elevated or dignified language, celebrating the feats of a legendary or traditional hero.
2. A literary or dramatic composition that resembles an extended narrative poem celebrating heroic feats.
3. A series of events considered appropriate to an epic: the epic of the Old West.

adj.
1. Of, constituting, having to do with, or suggestive of a literary epic: an epic poem.
2. Surpassing the usual or ordinary, particularly in scope or size: "A vast musical panorama . . . it requires an epic musical understanding to do it justice" (Tim Page).
3. Heroic and impressive in quality: "Here in the courtroom . . . there was more of that epic atmosphere, the extra amperage of a special moment" (Scott Turow).

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/epic

I think a song >20 mins fits that criterion... If you still disagree then just read it as "song you like that are over 20 mins long" and get a T-shirt that says "PEDANT" across the front :p
