2010-2019 only plz
Also dunno if anything shorter than 15 mins is "epic" enough for prog, so let's try to keep it loooooong  My choice, hands down: Not really prog, still awesome: |

Discipline is killer, but I choose Bubblemath Routine Maintenance .
Only about 13 minutes long. Does it count? |

Motorpsycho - The Death Defying Unicorn as a 2 disc concept album qualifies as an epic to me.
Then there's this. Other great ones: Guapo - The Pillman Radiant and Obscure Knowledge All Traps On Earth - Magmatic Warning Pain of Salvation - Passing Light of Day Gösta Berlings Saga - Channeling the Sixth Extinction Edited by Tapfret - November 12 2019 at 22:51 |

I agree with the flower Kings. I can't think of too many off the top of my head. However, I will mention "Dawn of Creation" by Mars Hollow(http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=5674). It's a bit under 15 minutes though(a little over 12 minutes)but it still deserves a mention. It also just makes it under the wire in that it came out in 2010. There are only live videos of it on youtube though. You'll have to buy their first cd to get the studio version.

Easily From Silence to Somewhere by Wobbler, though all traps on earth, Ancestral and First Regret/3 years older are also favorites

Struggle to think of any off the top of my head but Numbers by TFK is probably the best I've heard. |

Out of the ones I know and like, I guess the ones that I find more notable are: Return to Ommadawn 1, by Mike Oldfield, El Puente, by Cast, and Empire of the Clouds, by Iron Maiden.

Big Big Train have a few good uns East Coast Racer Brookland Sequence ( On the Racing Line /Brooklands) those are actually the only ones that qualify going on the 15 minute rule. Their recent album The Grand Tour is epic in itself but the longest tracks are just under 15 minutes! |

Does it just have to be long enough, or are other characteristics required to call it an "epic"?
