The intro to the Pirate Material album just gets me pumped up.

Hi man, I'm from Mexico City and I love American rap, but when I heard this song, it blew me away, I was exactly like you driving by with the song on, again and again. It's definitely an epic song. In another song of the same album he says, in 500 hundred years they will play this song in museums, and I believe they will this song. It's great to find someone that likes this song as much as I do. Thanks for the video and energy

Mike was so tough back then... almost everything was perfect. And perfectly him. Not many artist make 2 records that are THEM all the way up and down. He did it.

Thank you for doing this vid. Love it on KZfaq when you find someone with the exact same niche interest

This album was our album. Mike Skinner captured our world and put it into audio form. Sex drugs and on the dole. 20 years today.

Oh shit never knew you reacted to this I have this album on vinyl! So dope

Great video, feel the same about this tune, I love it

I would say Echoes by Pink Floyd. Also, Tumimpala & The Streets have done a song together!

I still get chills at the end when he says "Be brave... clench fists"

I remember first finding about the streets as a young Australian kid playing a used copy of FIFA 05'. Had nothing but love for Mike Skinner ever since. Most epic song for me has to be Hall of the Mountain King by Savatage.

Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding- Elton John 2nd choice: Left Of The Dial- The Replacements

Rolling this track into Blinded By The Lights is one of the best thing I've ever heard before.

I am going to list a bunch that I find epic... Pink Floyd - Dogs / Shine On You Crazy Diamond / Echoes / One Of These Days Iron Maiden - Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner / Phantom of the Opera / Seventh Son of Seventh Son / Paschendale and many more Rainbow - the first three albums with Dio Violent Femmes - Never Tell The Pogues - And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda Nick Cave - Babe, I'm On Fire Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of A Madman My Morning Jacket - Dondante Sigur Ros - Untitled ("Vaka") Beatles - A Day In The Life The Stones - Can't You Hear Me Knocking / Sympathy For the Devil Deep Purple - Child In Time Flaming Lips - Waiting For Superman Supertramp - Fools Overture Mars Volta - Drunkship Of Lanterns Grandaddy - He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's The Pilot Billy Joel - Scenes From An Italian Restaurant But my #1 choice is Rush - 2112

I love how passionate you are about this song.

Kevin Parker said that The Streets' "A Grand don't come for free" is his favourite concept album of all time

Genre defying album ,

I can feel the epic in that song - the rapping + the strings so powerful. I listened to the three next videos that popped up of theirs and they are all brilliant. Anyway the original song reminded that 8 Mile for me is an epic song. You could say all lyrics are poetry but rappers to me are the true modern day poets. And sampling is the drug of choice. Anyway my epic song (that if you wanted to listen to and share your thoughts I wouldn't mind) is A Certain Romance by Arctic Monkees. If a song is house, that house has some unbelievably awesome rooms and going from one to the other..........from one fantastic decor to the next.....when I'm in the car with that playing I am absolutely losing it all through the sweet and the loud and all of the myriad of rhythms throughout......

The end - the doors! I'm the mountain - Stoned Jesus Live for today - the grassroots, especially the intro. Kinda late to the party, but still.

What an album. What an opener.

I love discovering music. Here's a bunch of lesser known random genre epic songs: Damian Marley - Confrontation Mean Mary - Iron Horse Redrama - I know they watchin' Clutch - Electric Worry Henry Bowers - Stealing Cookies Priestess - Talk To Her - Lay Down (both!) Hypnotic Brass Ensamble - War Thrice - Black Honey Flower Travelling Band - Satori Part 2 The Exploited - Don't Pay The Poll Tax Promoe - Headache Royal Blood - Figure It Out Raised Fist - Breaking Me Up The Souljazz Orchestra - Insurrection Enjoy!

Close to the edge yes Second choice thick as a brick jethro tull.

This is one hell of a reaction, nobody even requested the track

#CLASSIC

I’ve got Neurosis ‘Stones from the Sky’. Hands reach to the sky by the end every time. Literally breaks itself apart from it’s own power

Only just found this channel. My epic track is Woodpecker From Mars by Faith No More

Epic song, got to be Afghamistam by Botch, even now 20 odd years later, that breakdown still gives me goosebumps. That said love seeing Skinner get love, makes albums not singles, yet so many cracking singles within them

Mike skinner turned garage into grime with this track Edit "i use war and past injury as my metaphor and simile" is to this day my favorite bar

You cannot go wrong with ‘Original Pirate Material’

I was thinking of mentioning that now is a good time to upload more content due to having a "captive" audience that is looking for stuff to keep them amused, but I guess you got the memo already.

He just put out a new track feat. Tame Impala

Blur - The Universal Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down

The first song coming to my mind is Kashmir

Mercurial Mercenary Checkin In 🤟

LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yrself Clear or All My Friends Kevin Morby - Singing Saw The Doors - The End Apart from that, I always thought Animal Collective made some pretty epic songs (Brother Sport especially).

This is the most epic track

Bob Dylan - Desolation Row Stone Roses - Fools Gold The Doors - The End & Riders on the Storm Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond Led Zeppelin - No Quarter

Queen Who wants to live forever especially in highlander as there getting older

in 500 years they will play Mikes songs in museums!....if humanity is still around then! everytime i hear this, i cant help but expect the "has it come to this" start afterwards!, maybe i heared mikes musik just toooomuch xD

For an Opening song to your first album don’t think you can top it

Shook Me All Night Long / AC:DC

I can only agree with you, this is the most epic song. I do think 'It's too late' by the same artist is also very epic.

Achilles last stand

This Power - Kanye West Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones Echoes - Pink Floyd Stairway to Heaven - Pink Floyd Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin No Quarter - Led Zeppelin The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendeix

Be brave, clench fists! It’s genius.

You should react to the new strokes album!

Another Streets review bud please

Now that's a hard one (not sexually). Maybe something like Bohemian Rhapsody or Stairway to Heaven?!

Another epic song by a British word smith is "You Will See Me" by Scroobius Pip.

At work so can’t view, but mega track. Best he did and great album opener..... purely in my opinion of course.

Ten Years Gone \m/

The Black Keys - Weight of Love

Has it come to thiiiisss

Starless by King Crimson. Epic as hell

Cinematic orchestra ft roots manuva ‘ all things to all men’

Most epic track :- ‘Apocalypse in 9/8 section onwards, to the end section’, of Suppers Ready,( whole song is too long). Like ‘Turn the Page’ the words ‘and’ music fit the description. Second two choices, (more just musically than lyrically), I’ll bang on about these two again,( like that guy who keeps asking for the Strokes review lol). Starship Trooper, live version from ‘Yessongs’ ... Yes.... epic. Dance On A Volcano/Los Endos ... live version from ‘Seconds Out’.... Genesis .... epic.

another Epic track: Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Comely

Epic is "making you want to raise you hands"... then I'm working on some very epic songs lately :D Epic songs by that definition from top of my head : Dog eat Dog - Who's the king Fear factory - Edgecrusher Fear factory - Smasher / Devourer Sepultura - Dead embryonic cells Offspring - Burn it up Toxic narcotic - We're all doomed Guttermouth - Asshole

Poetry

The Test by Chemical Brothers

BALLAD OF THE COSTA CONCORDIA by CAR SEAT HEADREST. Buckle up tho it's a long one

Dragonforce "Through the Fire and the Flames". It is hard for me to listen to many Dragonforce songs without picturing epic action shots of knights in armor riding to victory.

Honestly epic song I'd say Hotel California.... But truth told as American I'd say Two Nations or Went to Church... But here in America no one gets it.🤦‍♂️

If you want epic try satyricon- mother north

I't's amazing to see you watching uk music. Is there a chance you could react yo my new video called warning ? it's a goal of to get a reaction video lol

Why did you remove the MGMT videos of Congratulations and Oracular Spectacular, please man what happened and please re-release them

Actually no try it's a cover but athame - beholding the daughters of the firmament

English rap is different than American rap because they actually speak English... the most epic song is definitely NOT this song... the most epic song is "Balls To The Wall" by Accept...

Brain damage/Eclipse - Pink Floyd

Hang on, the lyrics don't mention "money, bling, or hoes", that ain't no rap boy! 😜 Which tbh, ain't a bad thing. Rap is one of my least fav genres but I can see the art in this, and appreciate the poetry. 👍 That book reminds me of a book on graffiti I owned when I was a kid. It was full of funny examples. One that I liked was, somebody writes on a toilet wall "my mother made me a homosexual", and somebody replies underneath with "if I give her the wool, can she make me one too?"

Techno Rap...he ain't no Eminem.Segar should sue him for stealing the title.

You shud try black metal like burzum was actually recorded badly on purpose and the a lot of the scene is diy
