Ok here's my list of epic rock songs. The reason I didn't include stairway is because everyone will always put that as their number one and there is no variety. Don't get me wrong I love the song...

10. The dark ride- helloween
9. Fade to black - metallica
8. Seperate ways- journey
7. Holy wars- megadeth
6. Come clarity- in flames
5. Juke box hero- foreigner
4. Pull me under or Octavarium- dream theater
3. Shogun- trivium
2. Hallowed by thy name- iron maiden
1. The final countdown- Europe

In no particular order, here are some that I think would be on my top list of epic rock songs..

Derek and the Dominos - Layla
Coheed & Cambria - Welcome Home
The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Metallica - One or Fade To Black
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
John Mayer - Bold As Love (originally by Jimi Hendrix)
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower

Oh damn I can't believe I forgot all along the watchtower...

That's a really good list too... Not too fond of queen though, but that's just my personal taste...

(categorizing rock with all sub-genres including also metal and its sub-genres)(also, in no particular order)

Van Halen-You Really Got Me
Pink Floyd-Comfortably numb(or another brick in the wall)
Judas Priest-Electric eye
Pantera-Comboys From Hell
Scorpions-Rock you like a hurricane
Styx-The grand Ilusion
Twisted Sister-We're not gonna take it
Journey-Don't Stop Believing
Black Sabbath-Iron Man
Guns N Roses- Sweet Child O'Mine/Welcome to the jungle

Yes, i know these are all VERY mainstream bands/songs that pretty much everyone knows but i think that they only got that way because of how great they were. If i had to choose 10 most epic according to my opinion, it would look something like:

Whitesnake-Still of the night
Night ranger-You can still(rock in america)
Van Halen-Running with the devil
Y&T-Winds of change
Scorpions-The Zoo
Black Sabbath-Megalomania
Iron Maiden-Run to the hills
Styx-Renegade
Journey-Stone in Love
Oasis-Wonderwall/Champagne Supernova

There were some totally epic songs in previous list but i was trying to not repeat.

3. Mastodon - the last baron
