epic songs.

1.)"The Battle of Epping Forest"-Genesis
2.)"Close to the Edge"-Yes
3.)"Svefn-g-Englar"-Sigur Ros
4.)"In the Court of the Crimson King"-King Crimson
5.)"The Rain Song"-Led Zeppelin
6.)"Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt"-The Mars Volta
7.)"Xanadu"-Rush
8.)"Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-IX)-Pink Floyd
9.)"In the Dead of Night/By the Light of Day"-UK
10.)"Heart of the Sunrise"-Yes
11.)"Fracture"-King Crimson
12.)"Suppers Ready"-Genesis

I know these are all sort of obvious, but these songs are some of the best prog epics, in my opinion.

Emerson, Lake And Palmer - Karn Evil 9
Emerson, Lake And Palmer - Take A Pebble
Emerson, Lake And Palmer - Tarkus
Gargamel - Strayed Again
Gentle Giant - Excerpts From Octopus
Genesis - Supper's Ready
Genesis - The Battle Of Epping Forest
Genesis - The Cinema Show
King Crimson - Moonchild
King Crimson - Starless
Koenjihyakkei - Lussesogi Zomn
Opeth - Advent
Opeth - Black Rose Immortal
Opeth - The Drappery Falls
Opeth - The Leper Affinity
The Flower Kings - I Am The Sun (Part One)
The Flower Kings - Retropolis
The Flower Kings - There Is More To This World
The Flower Kings - World Of Adventure
Utopia - Utopia Theme
Wobbler - Clair Obscur

Wobbler - Rubato Industry
Yes - And You And I
Yes - Dreamtime
Yes - Close To The Edge
Yes - Heart Of The Sunrise

If you count Gentle Giant's "Memories Of Old Days" and "Nothing At All", King Crimson's "Elektrik" and Dün's "Arrakis" as epics, they are of course in my list too.

You may know what I don't know
But not that I don't know it

Epics are so awesome :D

Transatlantic - All of the Above
ELP - Tarkus
England - Poisoned Youth
Van Der Graaf Generator - A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (both sides I guess)
Yes - Revealing Science of God
King Crimson - Starless

This would give you already some nice hours of listening, no need to add more :)

Yes, Yes is one of the greatest bands alltime!

For me, various ones that have already been mentioned, but also:

The Doors - The End (if you count it as a prog epic which I guess it isn't)
The Mars Volta - Cassandra Gemini
Genesis - All of them, especially invisible touch
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
Marillion - Invisible Man

I just want to add Goblin, the Italian prog band who did the soundtrack for Dawn of the Dead... and for something a little different, Fiery Furnaces' album "Bitter Tea" begins with at least 5 solid psychedelic tracks. SSoooo good.

I'd like to nominate Queen's "The Prophet Song" but it only clocks in at 8:21

Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
Uriah Heep - Salisbury
Television - Marquee Moon
Bruce Springsteen - New York City Serenade
Supertramp - Fool's Overture
I don't know if Meat Loaf fits the style, but Bat Out of Hell is certainly epic.
Lou Reed - Street Hassle
Smashing Pumpkins - Porcelina of the Vast Oceans (whoops, only 9:21)
Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda Da Vida
Pink Floyd - Dogs
Pulp - The Day after the Revolution
Jethro Tull - My God
Gong - The Isle of Everywhere
Deep Purple - Child in Time
Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird
Guns N Roses - November Rain
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again

Some of these artists are probably stretching the definition of prog-rock, but I think the musical styles fit for these tracks.
