• Keep. Almost every single song listed has already passed the wikipedia notable test, since it has its own article page. The few that don't, have artists with their own page, making the song significant enough to be listed. And the list is fine, it showing the length of the songs.

• Keep. This list needs better referencing and more defined inclusion criteria, not deletion. There are plenty of reliable sources calling a good number of these songs "epics". E.g., "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", "Stairway to Heaven", "American Pie", "Bohemian Rhapsody", etc. Here's a source that could probably be used to help flesh out the introduction.
