Is it time for another 'Epic' rocktrack? I am not sure he could create magic with it, but it would be interesting to hear him take another try at an anthemlike / epic number.
So far we have: - Free (a first, bit hesitated try) - Purple Rain - The Ladder (a more gospelized Purple Rain) - The Cross (not often called an epic, but i think Prince tried to create an epiclike song here) - Anna Stesia - Still would stand all time - Graffiti Bridge - Three Chains of Gold (his 'Bohemian Rhapsody) - Gold - Into the light (i know, its short, but it surely has epic elements) - The Holy River - Saviour - The Love we make - Welcome to the dawn (a stripped down, acoustic epic) - The Last december (a bit prog-rockish) | |

Those songs sure have epic elements, but i dont really consider them rockanthems, because they lack the slow, ballad-like structure so 'common' for classic epics (i mean: think of Child in Time, Bohemian Rhapsody and November Rain, those songs are ballads 'blown out of proportion'.
Instead of the songs you name, i consider for example 'The Morning Papers' to be more epic-like. | |

Purple Rain, The Ladder, and Gold are quite certainly epic rock tracks. Not sure about the other ones you listed though . . .
I think Last December could fall into that category. | |
