Odyssey: The Greatest Tale is one of the most incredible concept albums I've ever come across, splitting up the story of The Odyssey into 9 chapters and having 9 different bands, one for each; if you haven't heard the album yet, i cannot recommend it enough, go check it out! All of the epics from this album are enjoyable, though some certainly have more powerful moments than others. So that begs the question, which one is the best? I'll leave that for you to decide! My vote goes to C.A.P.'s piece!

I'd take "Tales of Brave Ulysses" from Cream over any of them. They managed more in 2:50 than most can in 10 minutes.

AHHH!!! You've posted one of my favorite releases from the 21st Century. SO MANY great epics here (and they are ALL epics in the very truest sense of the word: nothing less than 21 minutes and all taking one chapter of Homer's book!)
Glass Hammer and Aether are my two favorites--but barely ahead of Nexus and C.A.P., which rate just ahead of XII Alfonso, Minimum Vital, and Témpano.

I don’t know all of these, but Nathan Mahl gets my vote, out of the ones I know.

Haven't yet heard this one but i'm very impressed with most of the Colossus Project series that this is a part of. I'll get to it eventually.

Oh, man! You're really missing out! This is such a great release--with each epic truly contributing a cool perspective on the Homerian epic. This is the kind of project progressive rock music was meant to tackle!!

^ awesome! Thanks for bringing it to our attention. It is my goal to tackle every release from the Colossus Project but that one just jumped up a few notches
