I have avoided leaving an other option because everybody would choose it. Please post any epics you think don't let up.

Stargazer. I find the drums insatiable.

I not overawed by the better of these but Carouselambra has certainly let me down. Lousy tune. Dead

Cozy Powell (RIP), man... I love ALS, but for me the definitive Zeppelin epic is their live version of "No Quarter" on The Song Remains the Same. "Stargazer" gets my vote as well.

Do you mean epics that never seem to end..?

Anyway, I voted for Achilles last stand, although all those choices are damn fine. It would have been too easy to vote for Awaken but I've been on a Zep recently so they get the vote this week.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

If think about hard-rock epics (not prog),
this one is mega-epic. Live version of course

Took me a real long time to appreciate Awaken, but once I did it never let go.

Not entirely clear what you mean by "don't let up" but I'm going for Stargazer because the drums kick in and batter you round the head right from the start and it carries on like that for pretty much the whole song.

Awaken, though I have a soft spot for Carouselambra.

I agree........of those 4 listed went with Awaken , but those are nowhere near any of my favorite 'epics'.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Before I even opened the thread, I thought.....Awaken!  But I didn't understand what the thread meant....I thought it was an epic that was just pounding away without ceasing....and that's super irritating....you feel almost refreshed when the music stops.....that's Awaken to me.  Not a fan of GFTO at all. 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
