Yes. By Rush themselves. Hemispheres is much better than 2112, and I'd consider putting Cygnus X-1 over it too. 2112 has some great moments but it does tend to drag on at times and the transition between parts is occasionally a bit clunky.

For the purpose of suggestions, by "epic songs" do you merely mean in length, or in the multi-part thing, or something else?


Thanks for the suggestions!

I mean a combination of the three. Basically, when I think of an Epic song, I think of a large, complex song, usually telling a story like 2112 does. I hate the term, but I can't think of any less akward way to describe it.

For instance, I'd consider Queen's "March of the Black Queen" to be something of a small epic; it's one of their longest songs, and highly complex and multi-parted, and also one of their best works.
