Naked City - Obeah Man

Really, Punk China Doll is the most epic song they've done that goes fast, but it's at "3:04". Fucking Frisell.
 

Benny Bunter

Roy Orbison - 'Running Scared'

Might be a few seconds over actually, but its epic waaay beyond its runtime

Meat Puppets, 'Lake Of Fire'.

Edit: also, 'Velvet Kevorkian', the intro track on Strapping Young Lad's City album. "A new time has come ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, WELCOME THE FUCK HOME...!" *drumming blurs into a continuous tone* :cool:

The Castaways - Liar Liar and The Phantom - Love Me are both under two minutes I think.
Also there is that speeded up version of United by Throbbing Gristle but that hardly counts.
 

CHAOTROPIC

on account
I immediately thought of these two:

Jefferson Airplane, 'White Rabbit'
Beatles, 'She Loves You'

... but, on further investigation, they're 2:30 and 2:17, respectively.

Shit!

Holy Modal Rounders "Euphoria"
Hybrid Kids "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?" (epic)
Another Daniel Johnston one - "True Love Will Find You In the End" (epic)
Little Richard "Oh My Soul"
Moondog "Lament 1: Bird's Lament" (well epic)
Paska "Ace of Spades" (epic rendition)

Not a 'song' as such, but pretty frickin' epic:
