except epic can't mean anything people want it to, since it has, y'know, a definition. should've gone with a made-up word. otherwise, how are you accumulating anything other than a list of people's favourite songs, period? if epic doesn't mean the same thing to you as it does to me, then we're not really achieving anything here, are we?

Fine you fucking dick, post your favorite songs that have either epic climaxes, elicit powerful emotional responses using grandiose instrumentations, give you goosebumps, or just get you jacked to get your day going.

A lot of these are not epic. How can epic mean anything you want? There has to be a definition here.

see, spilchuk knows. i wasn't being a dick, i was just legitimately bewildered as to how 'epic' suddenly means anything people want it to. way to overreact and be a buzzkill buzzkill.

Lost in the World is just plain epic. I know it's cool to hate on Kanye, but he's one of the most universally acclaimed artists of the last decade, both critically and commercially. Don't you work for a music magazine? You should know that! |
